My excuse for not blogging for a week is that my creative juices have been flowing and I have been working on some wall art for some of our very white walls! We will see if anything turns out to be "wall worthy..."
Nick enjoyed a weekend off last weekend and we were able to just stay home and enjoy some relaxation.. at least as much as you can possibly enjoy with 2 very active 5 year olds!
Ben had a great week at school and his teacher showed me several examples of how his writing is getting better. He amazes his teacher with all of the skills he has and genuinely surprises her with how fast and how much he is learning! The kid cracks everybody up with all the stuff he says now! Just today, as we were leaving school, Ben noticed that his handpainting of a spider displayed in the hallway had lost one of his eyes. Ben informed me (with his bottom lip shaking, like he was trying not to cry) that he had to find a new eye before he could go home. So one of the very accommodating associates (thank you to Miss Dawn) found Ben a new eye and helped him glue it on. Ben told Miss Dawn that now he was so happy, and now we could go home!
We were afraid that we would have to schedule another ear tube surgery for Conner this week, but after an ear infection last week, his ears look great now so we will see how this all plays out... After a cold last week he is on top of the world again and he has had a very good week, just as Ben has. I was able to help in Conner's classroom this week, so that was fun for me to see him at school, doing his thing! He is a social beast and loves being around his friends, especially the girls!
The biggest news of the week, however, is this... Nick and I were at Old Navy on Wednesday, while the boys were at school. They needed another pair of jeans and there was a really good sale. We also found a couple of shirts for them which we bought from the "BOYS" section... not the "TODDLER" section.... Apparently I need to start shopping the boys' sections at stores from now on... I am not happy about this change... (Although, given that our boys are still little guys for their age, we will be buying toddler sized pants for a while!)
Anyway, Happy Weekend!!!
