Painting with the cousins

Grammanita planned a fun activity for the boys, she got them together with all the other little cousins and they PAINTED! 

While waiting for the bird houses to be delivered they tested their art skills out on paper 

 THIS was the end results

(Big H really was having fun, he just didn't want a pic) haha too bad bud

Then the bird houses arrived and the boys got to business painting those!
Lil H chose his favorite colors of Blue and Yellow

 Big H chose to use ALL of the colors...

They had alot of fun and had the honor of being sprayed off by the hose when they got home! ;) jk
And like a proud mother would do, we put the paintings on the fridge when we got home GOOD JOB boys!

THANKS GRAMMANITA!

The BIG toe

Sometimes I wonder just how many times your child will have to experience something unpleasant til they learn to stop doing something.....for example biting their toe nails.  Yeah we have had 2 experiences with Lil H in the past 3 months where he had to have an ingrown toenail taken care by the doctor. And it was the SAME toe both times! The first time he had to see a doctor it was for the inside part of his big toe, the second time for the same thing but for the outside part of the nail on the big toe! Same toe just different side! Thank goodness the same doctor didn't have to deal with him twice! And thank goodness that Derek was there to hold him the first time, and let him play Angry Birds on his phone.

Nothing like sucker aka "bribery" as soon as you get in the room!

 The second time he had to have it taken care of, the doctor actually let he and Big H play with his Ipad. Thank goodness for technology huh? haha 

THE cart/tools

"Mom I have a Shrek toe!"- Lil H :)

Angry Birds band aids make everything feel better, and I must say not a bad bandaging job by me!

Well I guess the good thing to come out of this if you try and find a positive is that he shouldn't have anymore issues with THAT big toe, because they put chemical in it both times, both sides that will prevent the chances of getting ingrown again! Time will tell I guess..... or here's a thought, just STOP BITING Lil man! :)

HAPPY FATHERS DAY-to Derek

I just want to say how lucky I feel to have Derek in my life! He is such an amazing friend, husband, but especially dad. He is a great example to our boys in so many ways! If they grew up to be just like him I would consider myself one lucky gal! For Fathers Day this year, the boys decided they wanted to get him a bike! So we DID! :)

I was a little worried he wouldn't like it.......I am not sure what to look for in a bike!

He has used it a lot already, so I will take that as a sign he likes it! :)
