Conversations with little boys

Zander laying on the floor on his stomach, Kaiden sitting next to him.  Kaiden wraps his arms around Z's neck and says "I holdin' yers head, daddy!"

*boys hit each other*
E - Guys go to time out
*Noah sits in time out*
N - Kaiden come sit by me.  I'm sorry.  I didn't mean for this to happen

E - Noah go wake up your Daddy
N - That's not my real Daddy.  That's my robot Daddy.  I made him in my robot factory in the attic.

Z - Noah guess what I bought today?
N - What?
Z - An iPad.
N - For me?!
Z - uh.....no

N - Toyota?  There's a Yoda, like on Star Wars!

E - Kaiden it stinks in here.  Did you fart?
K - No, Daddy farted!

N - Mommy did you go running?
E - yup, I just got back
N - I don't think you went running.  I think you just stayed here and taked a nap.

N - then the monster cut his own head off of himself, then put it on the ground.  Then it boomed right up!
E - Noah what are you talking about?
N - Monsters
E - Where did you learn about monsters?
N - Wal-mart

Post-Christmas

The last week has been full of fun, family, food, and presents.  So today we decided to take things easy, stay home, relax, and just be.  Part of that, of course, involves the boys taking a nice long bath.  Lately I've been trying to make bath time more entertaining.  There's always some cool surprise waiting in the bath tub for them.  We did a car wash a while ago, and then a stuffed animal wash.  Today, we threw some water balloons into the mix.  Some are full of water, some half water half air, and some all air.  All were popped in about 10 minutes, and each time there was a pop, there were gales of laughter and screaming.  Days like this make it really easy to enjoy being a mom.

Sleepy Boys

These boys have been way off schedule due to all the Christmas festivities.  Sometimes they just don't make it until it's time for bed. 

Christmas Street

Zander's sister happens to live on Christmas street.  It's a street up in Sugarhouse that goes all out when it comes to Christmas.  Ironically all the Indo kids grew up going to Christmas street every year, so it's even more awesome for them that Jenn ended up living there, and that we get to keep this tradition going for the next generation.  This year the weather turned pretty bad for the Christmas Street Party, but it was still really cool.  Santa was there with a stocking for each kid, and each stocking was personalized for that child.  Our boys were feeling a little under the weather from the marathon of illnesses we've had lately, and Kaiden is still afraid of Santa, but they were both still really excited to see that he was there.  We snagged some donuts from Santa's elves, then headed back to Jenn's house to all hang out for a while.  Great times.

Everyone's Been Sick

Three weeks ago the boys came down with little colds.  Nothing too serious, just enough to make for messy noses, and slightly grumpy and tired boys.

Two weeks ago I got their cold, and it knocked me flat for a couple of days.  And Kaiden got diarrhea for some reason.

This week Zander got pink eye and a sinus infection on Sunday.  Both boys had runny noses, again.  On Wednesday Noah had a fever and started barfing, and kept going for 36 hours, resulting in a trip to the doctors office for him.  We finally got him feeling better, just in time for Kaiden to get an ear infection on Saturday.  The doctors office was all booked up and closing, so we called Papa Alan and got him some antibiotics.

Thankfully now we're finally all healthy.  Z and K are still finishing up their antibiotics, but at least things are back to normal.
