6 days

I can't believe this week is finally here. I also can't believe how tired I am and how little I care. Maybe it's because this weekend was LONG and filled with parties for my birthday so now it feels like it already past? I KNOW my husband has something up his sleeve. I can tell because I know him and that gleam in his eye tells me it isn't over yet.

Since she liked it so much from yesterday (RACHEL).

My other friend Rachael would think that was about her, since she spelled her name wrong in my card the other day :P She would blame the power outage or the wine, I blame the pen.

Tonight my husband is at Bible Study and then headed to work. The thought of going to study exhausted me when it really is a good thing for me to participate in. Usually if we haven't arrange a sitter, Nate will stay home as I've been with the kids at home.. but it was more work for me to go out than it was for me to stay with them for the 1/2 hour before I put them to bed. They were quite good today.

Some funnies lately:

I took Jericho's shirt off because he got it wet washing his hands and he will ask me repeatedly to take it off even if it's just water. So I asked him to put his hands up and his response was "Baby, hands up!"

Kai loves books. So much so that you can pretty much distract him from anything with a good book. He'll even steal ones from our bookcase, "A Wedding Story" and "Pillars of the Earth" to name a few. His age appropriate favorite is the Makka Pakka book. It was his first 3 words put together actually.

Tonight Jericho got a sucker for going on the potty 4x in a row, no we don't think he has a bladder infection and we have no idea what he drank. But Kai saw his sucker and would follow Jericho around screaming for it. If Jericho put it down, Kai was there faster than you can say "Aren't you too young for candy?" It was a little amusing watching him put it in his mouth and clamp down so Jericho couldn't get it back. If he couldn't get it in his mouth fast enough, he would just high-tail it in the other direction and scream when Jericho wrestled it away.

Jericho is still obsessed with cleaning. I don't know whether or not to blame Nate or my Mother in law, but it's a good thing to be obsessed with. It's just annoying to walk into the kitchen and 10 seconds later have him follow me with a chair saying "Time to clean Mommy?" Most nights he will stand by the stove and Nate will spray our trusty Method cleaner while Jericho wipes and wipes and wipes. He'll then move on to Kai's chair, rinsing dishes for the dishwasher, and maybe (if he's feeling particularly energetic) he'll even attempt to sweep.

Yesterday was the first day my sons ever played outside all by themselves. Mind you, they were on the deck and I checked every 3 seconds to make sure they weren't up to no good. It's surprisingly how much "No good" these boys have the potential to get into. But they had a great time playing with our $5 garage sale Tonka trucks. It was just so funny to me to have my babies playing outside when they still seem so little. Last year at this time Kai was 12 days old so he wasn't much into Tonka, plus we didn't own them yet.

I would blog more, but I really am quite tired and looking forward to spreading out in my bed.
