I guess we're pretty boring...

I've been a horrible blogger of late and so it seems we must be somewhat boring... Actually we've been busy and you'd think my camera was in the shop or something--zero pictures in the last week...
We had a playdate here on Tuesday, which the boys and I both thoroughly enjoy... The next day some good friends dropped by and played with Reese and Carsten ALL morning. Reese was in heaven. He'd ask them to get down a certain toy and they would! We spent all afternoon picking up, but it was all worth it!
Oma came Thursday evening and she'll stay until this next weekend when Opa comes to get her. We've stayed busy with her too--I usually try to jam all my errands and projects in when Oma is here. Auntie Alicia is here as well, so we've had some visits with her and Justin.
We have a busy week ahead and so I'll try to get some pictures and do better about writing it all down...

No News is Good News...

Not sure what to put on here... not very eventful around here. I could put a picture of Carsten's face/lip... He has injured himself numerous times in the last couple of days and is looking a little beat up. His lip is swollen and ripped up inside after a fall on his face. His eye has a nice bruise quite close to is after an unseen fall... I could put a picture of Reese running around drumming as that is his favorite thing to do at the moment... dress up and drum.
This last weekend we went to see some friends and that was quite fun. We didn't do anything spectacular, but just hung out together. Nice times. We also went to see Great Erma--as Reese calls her--Great Grandma Erma. She had celebrated St. Patrick's Day and so Reese tried on her green wig, green hat, green necklaces, green bracelets...
Jim has become a Weight Watcher's receptionist and has been hired as a leader to start when they have an opening. He'll just do one meeting a week.
So, nothing note worthy, just felt I should update. Our days are busy and yet they are quiet...

Love

The way to brighten my day--flowers from a husband that got them for me for "no special reason"... It ended a rather yuck day on a nice note. I'm a lucky girl!

Shiver me timbers!

Avast! We landlubbers are no longer safe around these parts... Captain Reese has arrived... Dressing up is his favorite thing to do and his love of all things pirate shows. Favorite saying, "Ahoy, there mateys!"

Boys and Flowers

We went to Opa and Oma's house this weekend. Their daffodils are blooming and so we had to try for a photo...
It was good to be *home* and our boys love playing outside at Oma's. Reese really didn't want to leave.
Today was an interesting nap day... Carsten has been refusing to take a nap the last week or so and today was no different. He cried for an hour and a half and I was trying to decide if I should go and get him and just forget the nap. He started wailing a little harder and yelling, "momma, momma, momma...". I waited for a few more minutes and then went up. Well, lo and behold he was half out of the crib and holding on for dear life... My heart stopped for a second and then I couldn't help but laugh. I'm in trouble now though--how am I going to get him to nap??? Safely?
