Three months!

Yesterday I tried squeezing Jared into 3-6 months clothes. No dice. Nothing like having a 15 pound butterball hanging off my arm all day. Uuugh!

Baptism

Jared was baptized this evening. It was very nice. Much better than earlier in today! The three little boys were wild guys. They knew I was trying to accomplish something....and away they went, leaving a trail of distruction behind them! Yikes! It was a bit trying on my nerves.

Glasses for me please...

I didn't have a clue Nathan needed glasses. I had thought all along his long blinks were only a new twitch. But, I hauled him in to the eye doctor to be checked. He is farsighted with a +4 correction. He is on cloud nine with his new specs! I did a little "test" on him the other day. I asked him to take his glasses off and look at my face. I wanted him to tell me what I was doing. Mind you, I was only an arms length away from him. I stuck out my tongue. No reaction from him. He put them on and I stuck it out again. His face lit up and a huge grin spread across his face. "You stuck your tongue out at me!"

What!?!

Brent has often complained to the kids; they slam the upstairs bathroom door. It is especially aggravating in the middle of the night. BAM! When they enter. BAM! When they leave. Last evening around bedtime, Brent marched upstairs and removed the door from its hinges! The kids were dumbfounded. What ever was Dad doing? How on earth were they going to use that bathroom without a DOOR! I didn't ask any questions. The kids didn't ask any questions. This morning over breakfast, Aaron said, "Dad must have burned the door." Aaron figures he burns everything. Later today I went out in the shop to fetch something...and saw the door. It had glue clamps holding down a corner. Wait'll the kid see this! I'll bet there will be some quiet shutting of the door for a while.

Winter.....winter...and more winter

I am ready for it to end already! Nathan, Aaron and Henry are more than a "handful" to care for. Henry thinks shirts belong in the toilet. He knows how to destroy our plumbing under the kitchen sink. He just yanks on the flexible plumbing tube and BOOM....we have water squirting all over the kitchen! Nathan and Aaron feel it's OKAY to pee off the front step on to the lawn (or snow as it is). Mom here is trying to tell them, if they keep this up she's gonna go nuts on them. As my wise mother always comments, "this too, shall pass." Well.....I'm waiting....
