Whoa nellie!

Picture this....I am sorting through things in the "office" in our basement. The two boys are happily playing, Luke is in the office with me and James is in the playroom down the hall. Luke giggles and crawls out of the room. I assume he just went to see James. Suddenly I realize it is far too quiet...I walk out the door and turn to see LUKE ON THE STAIRS. What?

Someone said that children wear out their mothers faster than their shoes.
So true! I have never been so joyful yet so exhausted. It just keeps getting better!

Nap

Today James didn't want to nap. After the third escort back to his room, Daddy told him that he could play quietly if he didn't want to nap but he had to stay in his room. We checked on him an hour later and found this...

Guess he was a little more tired then he thought he was.

Happy Halloween!

Superman and Spiderman. I still can't believe we actually convinced James to wear a costume. But when we told him he got to go visit Uncle Dan and Auntie Tine and get candy, that sealed the deal.

James polished off 2 bags of M&M's very happily! Then he helped Auntie Tine hand out candy, and for each piece she gave out he made sure to grab one for his pumpkin.

I love my little superheros! Happy Halloween!

James' Thanks

Thanks for pancakes. Thanks for milk. Thanks for Luker.

Go Jackets!

We had a really fun (albeit very wet) weekend cheering the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets to victory over UVA! Go Jackets!

From Ma to Mommy

Today is a momentous day for James and I. Today he has started to call me Mommy. That's right friends, now I get 2 syllables just like the rest of the family. We have Daddy, Luker, Puppy Doggie and now Mommy. Love it!

Something Silly

A little something to make you giggle. I have been having a little too much fun making montages.

Side note: When I was pregnant with Luke I had a sudden craving for a V8 while at Costco. Then 2 days later couldn't stand the stuff. So we have a few extra cans lying around.

Enjoy!

Fun at the Flu Clinic

Today the boys and I braved the flu clinic to try and get shots for both James and myself. We found a Tuesday morning clinic close by so we made appointments. The first 10 minutes we were in line James continued to fake cough and say very loudly, "I cough". I got a few weird looks from the mothers around us. So I said (a little louder so surrounding people could hear) "Stop your fake cough, you are not sick silly boy!". Then James would giggle. And I would feel a few less stares in our direction.

James was very brave, and stopped crying the instant the nurse handed him a lollipop. Then Luke started to fuss and she handed him one. Ah, silence! It is amazing what powers a lollipop has to soothe.

Below pictures of Luke's big boy room. For some reason I stuck with the same "aeronautical theme" as James room.

Help!

James and Luke LOVE to play in James' room. Today I snuck out quietly and went down the hall. A few minutes went by and Luke started to fuss. It was clearly the "where did mommy go" fuss, so I didn't hop right up to check on them. A minute later, Luke is still fussing and James comes running into my room and exclaims,

"Luker crying! Ma fix Luker."

And when I didn't move fast enough he told me,

"Luker NEED Ma!".



It's good to know James is watching out for his brother!
