Tonight Scott is working on a home improvement project, and I don't want to just sit around being lazy while he is working hard on putting up some shelves in our food storage closet in the basement. I am way excited for the shelves, cause the ones that were in there were way wimpy and most of our food was just in bags and boxes on the floor. Our basement has a somewhat finished room- I think the previous owners were just in a hurry to get it done, cause alot of the walls are not straight, the doorframes have big gaps and the lights don't work in half the room. So its a work in progress! Thankfully, its not an urgent fix up, so we are taking our time!!
We are looking forward to spring and sprucing up the yard and hopefully putting in a playground for the boys. They love playing outside, and it will be fun to have a "park" as Daniel tells us we need in OUR yard! Although the simple things are pretty entertaining too. I was picking rocks out of an old flowerbed and we saw lots of worms and spiders, and 1 ladybug. Nathan and Daniel were pretty fascinated. I had gardening gloves on, or I wouldn't be holding worms for them!
One afternoon the boys thought it was the funnest thing ever to throw diapers (new ones!) down the stairs. I think I was doing the last blog post! Anyway, then they had to get costumes on. I am glad they had fun, but not so happy that Daniel likes to do it all the time now. My own fault though.
He is my sweety! Last week he was sounding croupy one night, and I was sleeping with him. We had a long night with a humidifier in his face, several trips outside to get the wheezing to stop, and priesthood blessing from dad, he finally was doing better. He was hugging me most of the night, and coughing in my face. But how could I be mad when he also kept saying, "Love you mom." I am glad he is doing better.
After all those fun pictures, I don't know that I need to say much! I guess there wasn't much about Andrew. He is almost 1 and you can definitely tell he has big brothers who get him to laugh by pulling his cheeks out to see his teeth, or throw toys at him or knock him down! I wish he wouldn't laugh everytime- it really encourages Daniel to keep doing it. At church last sunday, Andrew was having fun trying to take another baby's pacifier, and push him down! When he actually pushed him down and the little guy started crying, Andrew just looked up with a very surprised look. It was funny, Andrew just thinks that is how to play. Guess we need to work on his play time skills before he plays with babies his age.
