We took the boys over to the mall today to get their picture taken with the Easter Bunny. It’s always a challenge to get Luke to take a picture with anyone in a costume so I bribed him. I told him that if he took his picture, he and Kenny could go on the carousel. Luckily it worked, [...]

The boy loves his sunglasses
Luke is obsessed with sunglasses (his, mine, Eric’s, it doesn’t matter). See for yourself with these pictures I took of him throughout the day:
10 a.m. – Driving out to Town Center to buy another pair of sunglasses for him b/c this pair is getting to be too small for his giant melon of a head.

Stranger danger
Here’s an email I received from a woman in my church group. This happened in the Lenexa area:
I wanted to let everyone I know with small kids in the area what happened to my son today. Ryan is my kindergartener. Around 12:30 today, he was in the front yard playing (we live a mile from [...]

No power
We lose power to our house about 3 times a year. While it doesn’t happen often, it’s frustrating (seriously KCPL, couldn’t you put the powerlines underground?). On Saturday afternoon the weather starting getting bad. I honestly thought it wasn’t going to be that bad b/c they predicted snow on Friday night and we didn’t get [...]

We are Kansas
Damn, damn, damn. KU just lost to Michigan, which means I now have a new team to hate with a passion (in terms of basketball). Crap.
OK, I’m going to bed but I’m leaving you with 2 things:
1. KU is still the National Champ until the finals on April 6th.
2. I love this video that Jamie had posted on [...]

Our spring break in numbers
Here’s a little bit of what our spring break looked like:
Number of people sick: 4
Number of minutes spent in the doctor’s waiting room: 80
Number of people with ear infections: 2 - Luke is on his 2nd ear infection in a month and Kenny now has one in both ears, which is his 507th ear infection (or [...]

Scrapbooking schmackbooking
I did a scrapbook for Kenny’s first year. I liked it but it took a lot of effort and I had to run to the store about 10 times to find just the right sheets/supplies. I knew I wanted to do something similiar for Luke’s first year, only simplier. I did a photo book on-line [...]

Look who joined the table
Look who’s sitting at the table now in a booster seat.
Luke’s highchair is sitting in the garage, waiting for a final scrub before it goes up in the attic. While I’m excited to get some of my kitchen drawer space back (or at least the one that held the toppers for the highchair), it’s a little sad [...]

Oz and trains
I took the boys to Crown Center yesterday to see their Wizard of Oz exhibit. Kenny liked it but was a little freaked out. He would only go in Munchkin Land and on beginning part of the yellow brick road. Once we hit the Emerald City, he was done.
Luke didn’t want anything to do with it either. He [...]

Things to do on St. Patrick’s Day
Here are some things I’ve heard people say to do on St. Patrick’s Day:
1. This one is the most common – put green food coloring in all food and drinks. Unless of course you wake up to find that you’re out of green food coloring. There’s always next year, right?
2. Put green food coloring in [...]

St. Patty’s Day Parade
We went to the St. Patrick’s Day Parade in KC for the first time today. In the past, the parade route seemed like it was in a sketchy area so we never ventured down there. They changed it this year so the parade traveled straight down Broadway and ended near the Westport area, which was much [...]

3rd round pick
(Subtitled: I love Selection Sunday.)
Last year was KU’s year. Our players were amazing. I mean, they were fantastic. It was so exciting. Not only did we go into the tournament as a #1 seed, we ended up playing against our old coach’s team. And not only did we play Roy’s North Carolina team, we beat [...]

Luke’s new favorite book
Eric checked out L.L. Cool J’s Platnium Workout book at the library. For some reason Luke is fascinated with it. He will seriously sit on the couch and go through it page by page. And then he starts over again.
And as you can see by the picture, Luke got his hair cut on Friday. Kenny did [...]

I mis yuw
Kenny came out of quiet time (aka Luke’s naptime) with this card for his dad:
(Dear Dad, I miss you. From Kenny)
Eric’s been in Hutch since Tuesday for training. We can’t wait for him to get home tonight.

The case of the missing clump of hair
When you look at this picture, it’s pretty obvious that Kenny is missing a clump of hair. I didn’t cut it. Eric didn’t cut it. We didn’t go anywhere to get it cut. Kenny must have done it.
I noticed it on Monday when I was brushing his hair. When I asked him about it, he flat out [...]

Movie quotes
Here’s something that’s going around on Facebook.
Pick 15 of your favorite movies. Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie. Post them here for everyone to guess. Strike it out when someone guesses correctly, and put who guessed it and the movie. NO GOOGLING/using IMDb search or other search functions.
Here we go….

Brotherly love
Kenny was laying on the ground. He looked around and said, “I want someone to hug me.” Instead of hugging his brother, Luke responded with a flying tackle. Oh, the love of brothers.

Blah
I.feel.like.crap.
And that’s just putting it mildly. I have this gross cold thing where I swear I could sleep all day long. I actually felt a little better yesterday and thought I’d be up and about today. Yeah, that’s not going to happen. Hopefully Kenny and Luke can entertain each other for the majority of the [...]
