Noisy Man News

We had fun attending Noisy Man's Spring Concert at school.  It is pretty easy to tell already that being on the stage is not his thing.  Mommy had to keep making silly faces at him to make him smile and look like he was 1/2 way enjoying himself.  Still, he did a great job and knew exactly what he was supposed to do.  (And I do have to admit, I had fun making faces at him!)  Check out this great capture I got of him at the end.  He spotted me in the back of the auditorium as I went out a little early to do PTO stuff. 

And, even more exciting than a spring concert, my big boy can now ride his bike without training wheels!  Although mommy was busy recording and forgot to click a few pictures in the process.  I didn't get any pictures of him riding until after he had already crashed and refused to really get going again.  Now, the weather has taken a turn for the worse and we haven't been able to get out much to practice.  Hopefully, he'll forget the small scratch he got the first time and be ready to hop back on as soon as we make it back outside.

We have also started to plan his next birthday party.   How is my little guy turning 7?!?!  Where did this adorable little thing go?

Now he is just big and adorable!

Bless You's

Most nights it is a fight to keep our girls in their bedroom.  No matter how tired they might be, how many times we praise them for staying in or spank them for coming out, it doesn't seem to do any good.  You put those two in a room and turn off the lights and they just get all squirrelly.

Most nights we hear the door open and just say "Get back in bed!"  Sometimes it works, other nights they meet their discipline.  Tonight was no exception.  Miss Thumb Sucker has already come out 4 times and received 2 spankings.  Miss Firecracker is a little wiser and stays in the bedroom a little better or sends her little sister out to do her bidding.  Tonight she did come out, however, and I am thankful I didn't shout the usual down the hall.

She walked up to me on the couch looking like she was going to whine about some injury, I asked if she got herself in trouble doing something she shouldn't have while she should have been sleeping.  She quickly confessed (which made me have to suppress a smile) but then said, "Mommy, I got my bless you's all over my hand."  I didn't quite understand what she said and asked her to repeat herself and she said it again, "I got my bless you's all over my hand." When I looked at her quizzically again she said, "Buggers."

That made the lightbulb turn on.  She had sneezed and gotten buggers all over her hand and needed to wash!  Ha!  Made me and daddy both laugh.

I always say I want to remember the funny and sweet things they say, so I figured I would blog it quick.  Oh, and if you have any suggestions on how to keep them in bed I'd be all ears!
