What could be better

than milk and Angry Birds first thing in the morning

Lost Wallet

Oh My Goodness.
 Today was a rough day. I headed to my friend Cady's in the morning for a playdate and had plans to head to BJ's afterwards. I told the boys I would get them smoothies for lunch so we could go during lunchtime. Before we left Cady's apartment, I zipped up my bag because Ryan was playing with it and then that was all I remembered. We got to the smoothie shop and I bent down to get my wallet and it was GONE!!!
I tried not to go into panic mode, called Cady, and headed back towards her apartment. It was NO WHERE. I finally called Chris hysterically crying as we tried to remember everything that was in the purse and wallet.  I got home and called the police to report it when my cell rang and someone had found it.
I met these two couples later that afternoon to pick it up and the first thing they said was, "We are nice Christian people, we didn't take anything. We went through it all to try to find  a number."  They ended up finding a check my in-laws had given Ryan for his birthday and it had their home number on it. They called their twice until someone answered.
I am sooo thankful for these people. I had soo many things in there that didn't really belong because we had just traveled to Baltimore. Andrew's immunizations for school registration, Ryan's immunization book, giftcards, checkbook, etc..etc…

Oh, how I love you initial bag.

I'm too quick Mom

I ran the bath for the boys in between making dinner and playing ball in the hall tonight. Ryan saw the bath and decided he didn't want to come back out into the hall to play and just wanted to put toys in. Since I could hear him throwing  the toys in, I didn't think much about it. Then Andrew ran past me one time to run in and see what he was doing and this is what we found.

                                          WHAT?!? You got a problem with this?!?!

Good Luck Mike!

We headed back to Baltimore for a quick weekend trip so Chris could teach a training and we could attend Mike's going away party.  He had tons of friends join him in wishing him Good Luck as he sets off to London on a new adventure with a new band. Good Luck Mike!

 We also got to see the Raven's beat up on the Texans. GOO RAVENS!!

We made it over to Providence Fire Department for Kids day as well. The kids got ID cards made and really enjoyed playing in the Fire Truck and Ambulance. Andrew and Wyatt  even got their first face painting.

We are settled back in the city now for a fun filled week off from school for Andrew!

Red light, Green light

What else do we do when we are too lazy to get out/too cold out?
This morning we raced down the hall about 100million times playing red light/green light and catch the ball. Hopefully this equals a good nap and rest!
And, it cracked me up. Andrew put this shirt on this morning and walked out and Ryan said, HO HO HO. He must have remembered it said Santa.

Ryan's 2 year Checkup

Ryan had his 2 year check-up today and everything looked great. I don't think either of his stats were completely accurate because he wouldn't stand on the scale alone (so Mommy got weighed too!) And there was no way he would stand on the scale to be measured. But, regardless, he was 27lbs and 33 inches. Smaller than Andrew at 2 in height and weight. 

                                  Andrew was a big help-feeding him pretzels every two minutes.

Ryan didn't want to play with Birthday hats on his birthday, but now, everyone must wear them around the clock. 

Zoo in January?!

We had a beautiful day today and HAD to get out to enjoy it. The boys have been locked inside so we spent most of the walk down to the zoo climbing on rocks. Andrew loved feeding the animals although Ryan wasn't too sure. We spent the entire day (minus Ryan's nap) outside. What a treat!!

                       The dancing Delacorte Clock. The boys always love watching it.  Kind of a dark picture-

Loved our 52 degree day!!
