Saturday pictures

Eli was up around 7:00 and Adam woke up soon after that. Jacob and Adam mostly played together with blocks this morning. Eli took a long nap. I spent most of the day cleaning the house. Mom and Aunt Vikki came over for a visit. Aunt Vikki brought gifts for the boys. Jacob and Adam really loved their new matchbox cars. We had such a nice visit. Were putting our house up for sale so this evening the realtor came over to talk with us. The boys picked her some flowers. Tomorrow I'm getting up early to go to a bunch of garage sales with my Mom, Mel and Bruce (also Eli and Jack). Papa is watching Jacob, Adam, and Max.

This afternoon we went to Jacob's school carnival. First we sat in the lunchroom and ate hot dogs, chips, and a cookie for dinner. Then we visited each classroom to check out the games. Jacob didn't want to play any at first. Soon he decided to try the bean bag game with Miss Laura in his classroom. Then he decided he'd try to win a fish by doing the pong toss. He didn't win but had fun trying. We visited the other room and he played some more fun games. Then we went outside and Jacob had a great time jumping in the big jumping thing. Adam acted shy and didn't want to do any of the games or jump. Jacob did the chair walk and won some cookies. Miss Tiff let Adam pick out a bag of cookies too and that made him very happy. Jacob decided to try the pong toss again for a fish. He won one and was very excited to pick it out. We stopped at Salvation army to drop off a bunch of stuff and also got a bowl for Jacob's new fish. He kept saying, "I can't believe I won a fish!" Jacob named his fish Nick.

Jared left at 6am and will be out of town until tomorrow. The boys were up around 8:30. Jacob and Adam helped me make pancakes for breakfast. Most of the morning they sat at the counter and built with their new lego sets. After taking Jacob to school we came home to eat lunch. I nursed Eli and tucked him in for a nap. It was a nice day outside. Adam played in the barn while I cleaned it. From Jacob's school we headed over to Burger King for ice cream cones. The boys were so excited. They had such a great time playing together in the play area. We got home around 6pm.

The boys were up around 8:30am. By 9:30 we were headed on our way to Nana's house. Mom and I started working on fixing her closet doors but had to quit so I could nurse Eli before Jacob and I had to leave for the dentist. Jacob loved playing in the play kitchen in their waiting room. After I finished filling out some paperwork I had fun pretending in the kitchen with him. He made me a sandwich, some coffee, and baked me a cake. While I got my teeth cleaned Jacob sat in the chair and did dot to dots and mazes in a coloring book. He was very talkative with the dental hygienist and she asked if he was always so laid back. While waiting for the dentist to come in for me the hygienist took Jacob across the hall to get x-rays. He sat in the chair and put the thing in his mouth but pulled it out as she walked away. I could hear him crying and she soon brought him back. Now he didn't even want to sit in the chair to get his teeth cleaned. I held him on my lap but he didn't want to open his mouth for the dentist. She just talked to him for a little bit and then had him guess how many teeth were in his mouth before she counted them. He did great for his teeth cleaning and choose chocolate toothpaste. Then they wanted to try and get x-rays again. They wanted me to hold his arms down while they tried to pry his mouth open, shove it in, and hold his mouth shut. He cried and said his belly hurt. I felt horrible and was glad when they finally gave up. They told him they'd try next time he was in and he said, "Uh huh, maybe when I'm five." He was excited to pick out stickers, a toothbrush, and toothpaste. We stopped at McDonalds for lunch. Jacob told the lady at the table next to our that he went to the dentist. We got back to Nana's around 1:30. Eli was sleeping and Nana said he was very good for her. The boys played upstairs while Mom and I finished working on the doors. Aunt Bippi came over and surprised the boys each with a racer lego set. They enjoyed playing with those. Around 3:30 we headed over to Mel's new house. The kids sure had fun playing there. Mom got us Tim Horton's donuts and coffee. We stopped at meijer before going home. After a late dinner we went outside. Jared burned a piled of cardboard, paper, and branches. Then he and the boys took the trash down to the dumpster.
