Me, Binky & Freddy

Today was a very big day in our family. We traded "Me" (a binky for most people, but commonly called the me in this family) for Binky and Freddy. We've been trying to convince Seffers that he was too big for his me for quite sometime, but he just wasn't in agreement. So, I got a brilliant idea from a lady at church, and we made a little trade. We took the boys down to the Build a Bear Workshop and Seffers adopted "Binky" the little brown pony and lovingly placed his "me" inside. So now when he feels sad and lonely at night, he can squeeze Binky and feel his little me inside. We'll just see how well this works out. Samuel traded in 15 very close to perfect school papers in for "Freddy" the frog. Both boys were so excited to finally be able to build their own pet. They enjoyed being a part of the process - filling, picking out the heart, and bringing them alive. It was really fun!!!

Here are some photos of Aaron's big day last week. Adam took him down to the Surgery Center and he got tubes put in his ears. After a straight 5 months of ear infections, we decided it was time to do something about it. He was a little worried at first but was soon happy as can be... thanks to Versed! The actual procedure was over with in just a few minutes, and they were home soon after. Easy as can be!

Another Day

We spent the day doing just normal things... We got a lot of new snow yesterday so we had to go out and try it out, of course. The boys had a great time filling up the nicely shoveled walkway with their new snow shovels... so much for getting any help! It was fun to watch Seth try to swing on a swing that was only an inch above the snow. Walking thru it was also a pretty big chore for his little legs. They had a great time out there. I, however, am very sore....This shoveling stuff is hard work!!!

Aaron and I watched most of the fun from inside the warm and cozy kitchen. He loves to sit next to the window and bang on it the whole time... can't let his big brothers forget about him. We found a new favorite food - these honeycomb shaped noodles. He absolutely loves them. He figured out right away the easy way to eat them... just poke them! So while we all eat spaghetti, Aaron gets honeycombs. Try them, they're awesome and so much easier for little fingers.

We ended the day with some yummy nachos and a movie - Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. It was, ummmmm..... interesting. I don't think I would rush out in a blizzard to rent it, that's for sure :) So, just another ordinary day around here... we keep pretty busy doing boring things not really worth writing about... but I thought I would anyways :)
