Brothers

(Spaghetti sword fight anyone?)

And the Grammy Goes To....

Aidee Bures for his fantastic rendition of You Are My Sunshine....a classic that he has added his own flare to!

Seriously?

Grant took a swing and landed himself on time out.

Sticking it to us he ran upstairs and locked himself in the bathroom.

After trying to help him unlock it, trying to take apart the door, getting a ladder that won't reach the window even if it were open (which is wasn't) and trying to talk down an increasingly freaked out 2 year old (and his mother) there was only one thing left to do.

It pains me to relive this...

It's a bad camera angle, but that is a sledge hammer in my darling husband's hand....

And my poor door.

Grant was found hysterical and petrified in the corner of the room.  And now there is no door to the bathroom. Who needs a door right?

We had a loooong talk about just taking the time out next time.  This ones gonna have to learn things the hard way.

Diggin for Bones

I'm not where we got this thing. It's a dinosaur egg that you literally have to dig out the dinosaur. Sounded perfect for Aid. Except that they really have that sucker in there. And Aid just does not have the follow through at age 4 to dig for hours to get to it. He's picked it up here and there, dug around for a little bit, begged for help, then lost interest.

So the other day I decided to go for it. An hour later, we got the darn thing outta there.

Please no one ever give us one of these again!!

It's Been A Long Winter

Sickness descends upon our little family once again....and we've spent the last couple of days like this:

We're ready for winter to be over.

Chef Aiden!

Aid came home from school with a chef's hat that he had made. He was very proud of it...and there was nothing else we could do but put it to good use! So the next morning we made homemade pancakes!

And soon our little brother needed in on the action and had LOTS to say about it. (This is the expression Grant makes when he is trying really really hard to explain something.)

A little elbow grease and a messy kitchen are worth it if you get these results....
