Happy Easter

Happy Easter!! We had a neighborhood Easter egg hunt and it was fun. It was a little cold and it started to rain (that's why Sam is in his winter hat instead of bunny ears). Aren't my bunnies cute? They had 2 baby chicks and a bunny to pet. Sam kept saying "woof woof" to the rabbit. Guess we need to work harder at our animal sounds.
The kids 2 and under didn't really get the whole pick it up and put in your basket. Sam picked one up tried to open it or he's sit down for a break. It is his first Easter egg hunt. Last year he just sat in the stroller and watched.

All 3 boys were in different "hunting" spots so I only got pictures of Sam. The boys still got tons of eggs doing it by themselves. I was with Sam and Gordon was at work. He misses all the fun!!!

I wanted one more picture of their cute faces and it wasn't going so well. Sam just wanted his candy, Parker was cold (he's been running a fever) and Dylan "hates pictures". It can be torture, I keep saying just one more and 10 pictures later I let them eat their candy. This was the best one.

Best-Friends

I apologize it has been a month since I last updated. I am really awful about keeping everyone posted I know it. But I wanted to post about the boys and how Parker and Dylan are best-friends (and the worst of enemies). They get mad at each other and say "I'm not your best-friend today." It's comical. We are trying to instill in the boys that they are brothers and best-friends and they will always be there for each other.

Now we found out that Sam will have a best-friend too. A little baby brother due early July. Suprise, suprise not an August baby. I admit I was sad at first not getting the baby girl I wanted. But, Dylan reminded me that "you get what you get and don't throw a fit." and Parker said Sam has a best-friend now. How cute these boys are. The Thompson family name lives on and we are all excited (even Daddy) about another baby!

Sneaky Sam!

He wasn't that into his Santa's presents. He was curious why Santa left food on his plate. He's thinking of taking it. Is anyone looking???

Oh YUM YUM!! Breakfast!

Nothings better than carrots and chocolate chip cookies at 6 AM. Thanks Santa!!

2nd round. This boy is all about the treats. Food (candy) is definately the way to his heart.

Brothers Bonding

I am amazed at myself for updating my blog twice in one weekend. Anyways, I was downloading our Christmas photos and thought the one of Same and Parker is our funniest photo. Sam's Great-Aunt sent him a book that you put your face in and become that animal. Well, Parker was showing it to Sam and Sam just put his head between Parker's legs. Sam thinks he's funny when he does it.

Wet Pants

Parker and Dylan don't like to get the bottom of their pants wet! They walk through the snow and pull their pants up. But Sam doesn't mind being wet!

This is the puddle at the end of our driveway.

OOPS!! He didn't cry, he got back up for more and more and more!

His pants looked like this. He didn't want to come inside so I had to pick him up kicking and screaming. He cried the whole time I was trying to change him into dry clothes. Sam is going to be my outdoor boy.

Let them in?

Two nights ago while among peaceful dreams I barely am aware of the door opening and pitter patter to Gordon's side of the bed. Dylan had come into our room and he always goes to Gordon's side of the bed because guess who is always on my side, Parker. Parker usually doesn't come in until 5 am and crawls over me (I sleep on the edge hoping for my own space). Sometimes Parker wakes me up asking for me to hold him. I have to be touching him. He is a mommy's boy. Anywho, 2 nights ago after Dylan has been in our bed awhile he gets up and leaves. I wonder why until I roll over and hit the dreaded wet spot. Oh sure pee in my bed then leave to change into dry clothes and hop in your DRY bed. Well what do I do at 4 am. I roll over hoping Gordon doesn't find out because he'd make me get up and change the sheets. Minutes later he realizes Dylan left and asks me where he went. I played dumb and rolled over. Well he felt the wet spot got up grabbed a towel put it over the wet spot and got ready for work.
Not a good morning to have to strip the sheets, mattress pad, feather bed thing and the mattress was soaked. I go through spurts where I let them come in then I tell them to stay out of our bed for awhile and threaten to lock the door. Sometimes I think that their little it won't last much longer and they'll be to big or too cool for snuggles with Mom so why not enjoy it. (except for when they pee us out of the bed). My Mom says I did the same thing when I was little. Sorry Mom and Dad I now know how frustrating it must have been.

Merry Christmas!

Don't they look like angels? Sam did not like Santa, he would look up at him and cry then look at us and cry then back to Santa. I think it is their cutest Santa picture so far. The boys wrote Santa a letter and our elf "Ralphie" took it to him when he flies to the North Pole at night. The next morning Ralphie had a letter from Santa to us saying they were mostly good boys all year. Santa also sent some gold reindeer dust and told the boys to sprinkle it outside the house on Christmas Eve to help the reindeer with their landing. I loved this Christmas with them. So full of excitement, innocence and they BELIEVE. I caught Santa sneaking in their rooms on Christmas Eve. I'll post pictures of that later.
