"The Boys"

New Eden cute-ism this morning.  Came downstairs and sees brothers and says, "Hi boys!"  That's the first time she's used "boys" as a label and just struck us a sweet.

Owen, toothclops.  He will not touch the tooth nor allow anyone near his mouth.  Ate the first one.  

 Does everyone get turkeys in the swingset, or is that a New England thing?

Asher, all concentration following 'learn to draw' directions.

Edie-pie

This is one of those videos that you just shouldn't bother clicking on unless you're a grandparent, and a grandparent very interested in pretty boring footage.  Long movie of Eden pretend-napping (a new trend around here) and singing.  (Pardon mine.)

Speaking of pretend napping, she has taken barely a nap since she turned 2.  Every day she is in that crib for at least 1.25 usually 1.5hrs.  She is tired.  No nap.  She says, "I wake up!" and proceeds to play every day.  I guess she must not be *that* tired.  Ugh.  She is cute as she plays in the dark talking to herself and playing with her blanket.  I would feel bad if she weren't generally having a good time in there!

In other news, Reuel and the boys left at 6:30am to ski all day and had a blast, my sister found a wedding dress on her first day out, I baked 3 large double recipes of cookies for church fellowship time tomorrow, and put together a bookcase for Eden's room, and halfway through the bookcase came down with a stomach bug.  Which is why I'm still up...too queasy to sleep much.  Also chills and aches but no fever, never had that before.  So all 3 trays of food wasted for tomorrow!  Bummer!!  Drat you public school!!


Another O quote

Talking at bedtime, in the dark, sitting together:

I am so excited Aunt Debbie is getting married!!  It is going to be so much fun for you to get to go to a wedding.  And you're getting a new uncle!!

O:  I know.  Mom, I really hope Aunt Debbie gets a baby.

No pressure intended!  Just recordin' memories :)

O quote

Me:  Here Owen, want to shave? (hands over Dad's electric razor which he only uses when in a hurry)
Owen:  No way, that will hurt!
Me: Nope, doesn't hurt, here try it.
Owen:  Oh it just tickles.  I thought it hurt unless you put whipped cream on your face first.
