February Fun

A picture from earlier in February: cousins together.  Little Owen fell fast asleep, thanks Riley!

Oh, this little kid.  If only he had a little more personality.  He is wearing his giraffee, Ron Bob Grapes underneath his hat.  Mike and I both agreed he looked like he had hidden dreads.  I told him that power tools were not appropriate for a six year, so he had to inspect them to see which ones were appropriate.  His verdict?  Crowbars are definitely appropriate for a six year old. 

This looks familiar.  Little O has been having some wheezing so the doctor gave him a nebulizer.  I HATE IT.  He becomes a different baby on albuterol, he screams himself to sleep, then sleeps for maybe 30 minutes, and he seems wired and hyperactive.  I'm just trying to give it only when absolutely necessary.

On friday Mike took the older three kids to see the Canton Charge game with Carter's scout group.  The kids got to form a line for the team when they ran out on the court.  From what I understand Carter and Ava had a great time.

After Dawson ate his dollar dog and cotton candy he was done.  So far he hasn't been a fan of organized sports.

The weather has been unreal!  A week of temperatures in the high 50's so we have been spending every possible second outside.

Now a laugh for everyone at my expense:  I got to the bus stop Monday morning and I realized that Dawson didn't have his American symbols project that was due (he made the Lincoln Memorial).  So I left Ava and Carter with neighbors to get on the bus and we raced back home to pick up the project.  Of course Dawson missed the bus so we followed it to the next stop so he could get on the bus.  (School drop off is a mad house, so I would much rather get him on the bus.)  As I saw him run onto the bus I realize that he left his backpack in the backseat.  So I park the van run around and grab his backpack.  Meet the bus at the next stop and run up to give Dawson's backpack to his bus driver.  And I realize that I'm still wearing my pajamas.  Cute!  An eventful start to my Monday.  I asked the kids if anyone was laughing at their Mom in her pajamas but they said no one noticed.  That's ok, all the parents at the bus stop did!
