Weee....
The boys like to tell me to get in their airplanes and then they pretend to fly around with me in them. And then I have to get out. Sam comes up to me after he's told me to get in his airplane and flown around for awhile and says "Mom, you're still in my airplane" So I say "Weeee!" And Sam says "You can't say Weee, you're not flying right now." lol, I guess he was right, silly me.

Sam says...
As a preface to this post...a couple weeks ago our oldest dog died....and months ago we found out that we are expecting baby #4 (yeah that's why I haven't thought to post in a while, been busy, and sick)
So Sam walks around saying all the time, with absolute excitment in his voice..."We're getting a new dog AND a new baby!!!!" Such a cutie he is.

watch out for that ball!!
So we assumed it would be Nate that would get hit in the face first with a baseball since he's playing t-ball....but it turned out to be poor little Jacob. Second bloody nose for him...the first was booger picking gone bad =)

t-ball
So Nate is playing t-ball now. I think it will be good for him to get out and about with other kids his age. So during the first practice the coach called them all over and told them to sit down. Nate was the only one left standing. So the coach says "you can sit down Nate" and he says "but I don't feel like sitting down". So he let him stand. It was pretty funny that he was the only one standing...though later we told him in the future to do what the coach wants him to.

Bugs Bugs
It was really cute watching Jacob squeal with delight as he chased an ant....until he squished it with his hand and put it in his mouth!

Why oh why
Do you know how many times today I have said "Why is there water everywhere?" And I never seem to get an answer! To be fair, most of the times today I believe it was Jake, and I doubt he's going to say "well, Mom, you see...".
Usually it's "What in the world is all over the floor??" But today is a water day.

I have to start checking pockets!
I just pulled the laundry out of the dryer and found about ten tinker toy pieces. So annoying. I vaguely remember telling Nate and Sam to put them away yesterday because Jacob kept chewing on them. I guess that's where they put them!
Yeah Salad!
I just discovered that my kids all love caesar salad! Even Jacob! Last time we had it I thought it was a fluke that they all ate a ton of salad. But tonight they did it again! Woohoo!

So cute
Suddenly Sam seems so old and he seems to think he knows EVERYTHING. But he just did something so cute. He was walking behind J in the hall and said "I want to hug you dad" So he turns around and hugs him but doesn't bend down. Sam says "No, I don't want to hug your pants, I want to hug your shirt" J just laughed and picked him up.
Our dogs were dognapped
This is a story from November...
So Friday morning I left for the store and left the dogs out like I usually do. They've been sticking around and not taking off. They go to the lake (about a quarter mile away) and come back, and that's it. They weren't here when I came back and still weren't home that night. None of the neighbors had seen them and the shelter in the next town didn't have them either. So Saturday we put some fliers out down in town, and before J was even home a girl from the college had called and said her professor had taken the dogs to the shelter, but couldn't tell me which one. We called the shelter in the town on the other side of us, not there either. So we're totally baffled. Then at 7am Sunday morning (who calls that early???) some guy calls and says the dogs were in a kennel by the town buildings (who knew we had a kennel??? we have nothing else!) He said they were closed but if we called the police they would have a key to let them out. So J goes down to the police station and they were closed!!! What the heck? What kind of town has a police station that closes?? Anyway....there's a phone number on the door to call in case the doors are locked. He forgot his phone so he came home and called. This apparently was an emergency line, oops. But the lady said she'd have one of the officers call him back. We waited around all day, no call. Dh goes down to the police station again, still locked. At this point there was nothing we could do. I'm pissed because it was cold out and the dogs had to sleep out there because no one could call us back. So first thing Monday morning J goes over there (which I didn't know because I went to the store) and the town buildings are now open but no one has a key to the stupid kennels apparently. Finally a clerk comes over to him and says some lady brought them in with the intention of adopting them when they weren't claimed. She told the city people that the dogs were abandoned up on the hill (the HILL WE LIVE ON, on our street) She took them from our street and didn't bother asking any of the 4 people that live on our street if they were anyone's dogs. She insisted to the city workers that they were just dumped up there. Our dogs are so friendly they would get in the car with anyone, they love car rides. And this stupid lady tried to steal them from us! Our dog is 12 years old, which is old for a big dog, with fatty tumors and a cyst, why would she want her??? She's a sweet dog and she's beautiful but come on. Anyway, so I freaked out when I got home from the store and the dogs came running down the driveway at me! J hadn't told me he sprung them (apparently they weren't even locked up so we could have broke them out at any time!....what the heck is wrong with this town?? lol) Anyway, they are safe and sound but our dog seems to have a cold, she's sneezing like crazy. But the other dog is fine.
