The other day I got this little hand made card from my son(James). He is getting pretty good at his letters for a kid who is not even 5. It is scary how much he knows. I think that some day he will teach me a thing or two about life and maybe he will figure out the secret of what women want. I don't expect it, but one can always hope that some day a man will find the secret.
It appears that he has my sense of vocabulary.
A couple of weeks ago we had a chance to go to the museum and see some real culture. Lego creations were on display and the boys had a great time seeing some life size or even bigger than life creations. Lego's are the toys that are timeless and they received a lot of them for Christmas so they thought going to see some "cool creations" was a pretty fun afternoon.
Of course after we got home James wanted to make some creations of his own. He make this "jet ski rocket". He entered it into the Lego Creations magazine, but they have not emailed back yet so this may be the only time the world will get to see this creation.
The boys got invited to a birthday party at Chuck E Cheese's and had a blast. They spent all afternoon playing games and running around earning tickets only to earn a cesta type toy that likely was worth about $0.50. They had a ton of fun and did not act too much like psychos so it was fun for us as well.
Matthew wanted to "play" this game which was not as fun as you may have thought, but he liked it all the same.
Last Friday we headed to the hospital in the morning since Brenda was having contractions that were about 5 minutes apart. I sprung into action and the game was on.
Here is Brenda breezing though a contraction.
Proof that they were contractions, but after about 4 hours at the hospital, we were saddened to find that it was really just false contractions and were discharged. They wait continues.
Last Sunday it was Matthews birthday and when the boys came up in the morning and say the sign and the tablecloth on the table, it was fun to listen to them talk back and forth about it being Matthews birthday. Matthew is still so young that anything you do on his birthday is good enough and he really enjoys it.
Curious George pancakes were the order of the morning and I thought they turned out pretty good for not having done anything like this before.
Here he is giving a thumbs up.
The weather was so nice it was time to get the bike out for a ride around the yard. Matthew is getting pretty good and I think that he will be riding by himself by the end of 2016, but I wont pressure him of course.
James was back to his old antics and Matthew and I decided we should chase him on the mower. We chased him and he was going at a pretty good clip over the plywood covering the horseshoe pit and the bike slid right out from under him. He did pretty good and did not cry, but he decided he should "take a break" at that point in time.
Matthew had fun putting the frosting on his birthday cupcakes.
Sunday night we went over to a friends house for some games, but Matthew kind of thought it was a party all for him. We will continue to let him think that as it was super cute and made life a lot easier for us.
Brenda continues to grow bigger and bigger.
They boys do not know what the future is going to hold for them or mom, but we all know who holds the future. They don't seem to care if it is going to be a girl or a boy and just want to be able to hold the baby.
