lost tooth {a personal post}
Early last week Will came home with his first lost tooth, and my year long question of why kids in his class were always having their tooth pulled at school was answered. I mean, why would you want your mom or dad to pull it at home when you can have an awesome tooth necklace (it kept the lost tooth safe) and sticker when you loose it at school. Totally cute!!!
Will's last day of Kindergarten
I dropped this little man off for his last day of kindergarten this morning. Seriously, didn't I blog this post yesterday?
What a fun year he had! He learned to read and write in full sentences. He loves writing stories and told me he was going to be an author when he grows up, or a fireman (it changes daily). He can add change, do addition and subtraction, tell me all about the life cycle of a butterfly (which reminds me I need to order one to grow), tell time, and sing songs that I sang in my grade school days but have long forgotten about. He has made new friends, learned new games, grew his art skills, and gets made at me when I ask if the sore on his lip was from kissing girls at recess.
Welcome summer vacation. Lets go by really, really slow OK? I will not acknowledge the fact that I have a first grader until August.

Sunday randoms {super capes}
I love the idea the boys think up. They have tie blankets Grandma made them and they recently started using as capes and jump off the stairs to "fly" The other day Will decided that if he put it on, got on the swing, and jumped off he might fly (or at least float).
Wes wasn't feeling very well, so he got his "cape" and watched.
It looked hard to get swinging with a heavy super cape. He really had to put some effort into it.
Unfortunatly the jump was very uneventful. His heavy cape got stuck on the swing.
While that was taking place, this little thief ran off with somebody's popcorn.

Wyatt is 2!
Well, he was two last Sunday, April 3rd, but every little boys deserves his own post for his birthday, regardless if it is late or not!
Wyatt at two....
1. His most used words? No and mine, but what two year old doesn't. With two older brothers, it is necessary to master those words quickly.
2. Everything that is roundish is a ball. I wish there was a toddler baseball league. The boy has a good arm.
3. I love his hugs. He is the master at melting mommys heart with random big bear hugs.
4. I've posted on how smiley he is. But... he now also smiles when he is caught being naughty, which is often followed by a sweet "hi"
5. He just started with the consent use of "mommy, mommy, mom, mommmm, mommy.." have you seen this clip. It is a lot like that... but cuter. When Jason is home. It goes like this.... "mommy, mommy, mom, daddy, da, daddy, mommy"
6. He can't live with out his blanket. He calls it his "ni, night" I pray it doesn't get lost, we may never sleep or relax again.
A few cute out takes from my attempt to get the above picture.
Some snaps from the party...
Happy second birthday my sweet, blue eyed litte boy!

i heart faces {slice of life}
This weeks challenge at i heart faces is "Slice of Life"
In order to narrow down the picture to use , I decided to do one with Will. Since he is usually at school while I work on the picture for the challenge he is rarely in one. This was taken last week at the Brookings Children Museum. We had a lot of fun in the water room!

Sunday randoms {A broken plate, skateboard and Norton}
Yep, I know it is Monday, but I wanted to get this posted yesterday, but it didn't happen.
Oh the memories... this plate is from my childhood. It was at my grandparents house and I remember eating off it every time I visited. I'm pretty sure my brothers didn't get a chance to use it and if they did, it was against my will. It was sent home with me during a visit after I had Will. It lived a very useful life in this house until Wyatt threw it off his highchair.
Jason got Will and Wes a skateboard this weekend. I am relieved that the boys are still in one piece.
We had to say good bye to our big yellow dog. Norton was 11. He was our fist baby. Jason got him the year he graduated collage. He was a little ball of yellow fluff with huge feet. We loved him. The boys loved him. I'm not sure how much Norton loved the boys, but he tolerated them well!
This is an old picture. That is Will.

Sunday randoms - Purple cauliflower, museum, church and a song.
Just for fun, we are having purple cauliflower with dinner. Isn't it pretty? The boys think it is pretty cool.
We went to the Children's Museum in Brookings this afternoon. Wonderful place... pictures to come!
And, this morning, Jason and I were confirmed as Charter Members at the church we attend. This kids sang a silly, fun song to us at the end of kids church. Posting it below since I had to Google the lyrics for the boys this evening.
Hip Hip Hooray (Hippopotamus)
by: Mary Rice Hopkins
In the beginning, God made the sea
And the forest filled with trees
He made the mountains up so high
And on the top he placed the sky
God's fingerprints are everywhere
Just to show how much He cares
But in between He had loads of fun
He made a hippo who weighs a ton.
Hip-hip-hip-hippopotamus
Hip-hip-hooray God made us

Saint Patrick's Day
We were visited by a leprechaun yesterday. I was told his name was Lucky. He visited Will's class in school and I guess he followed us home from Wednesday. He made a mess. Dumped the markers, but left us a nice note. Made a parade of hot-wheels across the hall and down the stairs. Drew on the walls and left foot prints everywhere. He even turned our milk green. Which, in case you were wondering, still tastes the same as white milk. But even thought he was quite mischievous, he left a few cookies behind for the boys.
Hope you all had a fun Saint Patrick's Day! Did you get visited by a leprechaun or have any fun stories/pictures to share? Leave me a comment!

Octopus {a fun share}
Did you know that an octopus has 3 hearts, sticky arms, blue blood and no bones?
Wes does, and he would be more then happy to tell you all about them!
Other ocean creatures that have come home with us.... a sea urchin and a rainbow fish. You do NOT want to eat a sea urchin because they are very poky. They also have small mouths and live in rocks.
Have I mentioned how much I LOVE his preschool!

where's da ball.....
...is one of Wyatt's most used words, right along with "mine" and "no". At just 22 months he has a pretty good arm, and if your in his sight when he has "da ball" watch out as he has a fairly good aim as well. Is there a toddler baseball league?
Week 3 { let's do 52 - photo a week project }
This weeks topic is abandonment. I REALLY wanted to get out and search for some old buildings or vehicles, but the frigid cold temps changed my mind.
So, during baths tonight, I came up with this idea. An abandoned towel.
Though earlier today I wanted to abandon the child. He has developed a liking to throwing things... fits, balls, cups, toys, food..... but that is another story.

Week 2 { let's do 52 - photo a week project }
I'm doing a photo a week project with Paint the Moon
The topic this week is "togetherness" and after quickly eliminating the idea of trying to get all three boys together, I choose Wyatt and his blankie since he is rarely without it.
There happened to be a photo challenge today as well. "What is your viewpoint?" (shooting from different angles) was the challenge.

This week's photo challange at i heart faces is smile.

worlds blur challange
I came across Angie Warren's blog this morning. She found a lovely quote in the November issue of Anthropologie and challenged others to use the quote in a picture.
This photo, taken on Christmas Eve, immediately came to mind.

Christmas Card.. my attempts
I made my hard decisions... picked the clothes, determined the location, now all I needed was the boys to cooperate. And I thought picking the clothes was the hard part.
Day one... the weatherman lied, it was not nice and sunny, but rather cold and cloudy. First sign not to go out. Second clue... Wyatt was not feeling 100%. First shot...
Day two was beautiful. The result... not so much.
Wyatt ends up on the ground again. It seems to be the theme when I try to take a picture of all three of them.
And he won't stay put. But I have to give credit to Will and Wes for being cooperative.
THE END....
Now I did get some pretty good ones... really cute ones actually. But I'm not sharing those just yet! You'll have to wait for the card.

6!?!?!?!
Yep, he is six! And looking so grown up!
What he has been into the last few months...
1. Counting. He counts EVERYTHING. Multiple times. He counted to 100 while taking a shower the other night.... about 5 times.
2. Reading. He asked me what A.S.S spelled. He knew the answer. Just wanted to see what I would say.
3. Building. His favorite is his Magnext sets. We had a mega lego creation Thanksgiving evening. He is going to LOVE the Qubits from Discovery Toys we are giving him.
4. Art. He made a fishing scene with a straw, rocks, and other misc things he found laying around the other day. It was very creative. I wish I got a picture of it before Wyatt took it apart.
5. Cards. He plays a mean game of Go Fish!
These are from our attempt at getting pictures for our Chrismas cards... more about that in another post!
