Playing Catch-up

The month of February was a hard one for our family. My kids were sick every single weekend. Yep, every weekend someone puked or had a fever. Camden was actually really sick, he missed a whole week of school. When I have more time I'll share my doctors visit from hell with you. That was good times, let me tell you. And I don't know why everything is underlined and I'm too tired to mess with it. sorry.

Well Valentine's Day was fun. The boys and I made cute homemade valentine's for Nathan and I made this cute little cake...don'tcha love the green sprinkles?...I didn't have any red ones. The sad part was that no one ate the cake because the boys were too sick for me to let them eat sweets and by the time they did have some, it was old and stale and Camden wouldn't even finish it. You know it has to be gross if five year old won't eat it.



A few days later, Camden wanted to do a surprise for me for Valentine's Day so the following weekend my boys rolled up their sleeves and got to work. *disclaimer: Nathan is embarrassed by this pizza. He says it's ghetto but I think it's cute!*
Here's my hunka of burnin love sporting a beard. Isn't he so cute? Even scruffy, he's yummy.

Yes, I'm sure many of you heard or lived through the amazing snowstorm of March 2008. We. got. dumped. on. 20 inches plus blizzard conditions due to wind and then some ice to top it off. nice. Here's Camden holding a piece of ice from the deck rail. He kept acting like it was a guitar. so funny.
And here is Aidan's favorite activity in the winter. eating snow. we've taught him not to eat yellow snow or dirty snow but other than that I give him free reign. Hey, you're only a kid once!


I am so ready for spring, how about you? Tomorrow my baby, Camden, is going for his kindergarten screening. We decided to hold him back a year since he has an August birthday and I know many of his friends are already in kindergarten this year but I still can't believe that I'm old enough to have a kindergartner! I'm trying to get him into an all-day kindergarten that is a K/1 program so he would be gone from 9-3:30pm. Crazy. and Aidan will start preschool two days a week next year...wow.

I wish sometimes I was more witty and playful and an amazing author to keep bringin you back for more of my hilarity...but I don't and I just made up that word and I'm tired. peace out.

I think the heart pizza is darling! And I can't believe you've got a baby old enough to go to Kindergarten either! Do you still feel like we're eighteen? No, just me? Hmmm. Hahah

Nate, I agree, the pizza is definitely ghetto. Almost as ghetto as the beard. Kidding of course, the pizza isn't ghetto at all. However, I do actually have beard envy. Mine just looks stupid when I grow it. (Just ask Kristi)

Em, you are witty. I love reading your blogs. They make me laugh. :) And I think your boys are so cute.

Not eighteen, but about 22... how did I get to my late twenties so fast?

Your February=My February.
NON STOP SICKNESS!!! Cold, flu, fever, coughing, hacking, heaving...
YES! I'm ready for Spring to come already!!!
(It's a good thing it's our birthday month, or I'd boycott February all together.)

Anyone who even tries to make a heart shaped cake OR pizza, gets serious points in my book!

I think you are fun and whitty! What are you talking about girl!
I swear that there was something going around the nursery at aerobics! Ethan was sick, and I know a ton of kids and moms who had the flu and such most of Feb!!

Hilarity. Are you sure that's not a real word? I like it! I think you should use it more often!
