Here I go again.....catching up. Let's do it through pictures.
Last weekend, Grandma C came to spend the weekend with us and visit the boys. It was a great visit with lots of fun playing. Everyone was happy until Eli woke up Saturday late afternoon with a high fever. That started four days of being sick for him - he missed two days of school. He would be ok in the mornings but by mid-afternoon, his fever was back up. The scariest part was that when he woke up Sat afternoon, he was saying things that didn't make sense and complaining that his head was hurting. It was pretty scary but I think it was just the high fever. Even with the fever, we had a great time with Grandma.
Grandma brought Valentine's day treats for the boys.
This cracked me up. Cole kept stealing Eli's M&Ms when he wasn't looking
and shoving them in his mouth.
We spent some time outside playing. The boys love hanging out on the ramp to Daddy's shed.
Just a cute picture of Cole. =)
Mid morning Saturday, we headed to the flea market. Grandma found a cowbell for Grandpa. The boys loved making it ring.
Super Cool Eli.
Mommy's Monsters were Grandma's Monsters this night.
Cole absolutely hates these Elmo slippers. He loves them until we put them on his feet then it's no fun anymore.
Grandma & Cole reading Sunday morning.
Pitiful sick Eli.
Fixing a 100 piece puzzle with Grandma. Eli has become quite the puzzle master lately.
Concentrating on the dinosaurs.
This squirrel cracked me up. He came into our screen porch, was looking for something to eat and kept staring at me through the window.
Sweet yogurt face.
Hey Cutie!!
Since Eli wasn't feeling well, his "sick" present was another set of Trio blocks. He loves to build things with them and we love watching his imagination grow.
On Monday, I took Eli to work with me in the morning. He fixed puzzles, watched videos and played Trio blocks.
Eli loves coming to the jobsite. He asks me at least once a week if he can go. He told me today that he didn't want to go to school but wanted to go to work. If only he knew!!

Hey Hollywood!
This weekend, we had a good weekend at home. Eli was better and back to school mid-week so we had a healthy weekend. Saturday we did a family bike ride in the morning. That was fun because when we finished riding around the lake, we saw the Police Department Equine division bringing their horses to the lake trail for some exercise and to patrol. The boys enjoyed watching the horses come out of the trailer and get dressed to ride. After naps, the boys played outside and we just hung out at home. Sunday morning early, I went to a yoga class while Tim and the boys, again, played outside. It was great that Tim had them out because it rained quite a bit on Sunday. After lunch, we went to celebrate a neighbor's 5th birthday with cake and ice cream. Both Eli & Cole ate a huge piece of cake. They played for a while and then we had family nap time - it was wonderful! The boys napped at the same time and so did Tim & I. I don't think we have ever done that but both Tim & I had headaches so we decided to sleep them off. It worked pretty well! After dinner we made some cookies and then called it a weekend.
Cole loves trying to ride.
Ready for our Saturday morning bike ride.
In-ride snacks, Cole is ready to go. Eli is getting quite heavy so I think a trail-a-bike is in our immediate future.
The big thing this weekend was these two plastic boxes. The boys loved pushing them around, playing with them and sitting in them. Here they're on their knees watching tv.
And then sitting in their boxes.
And after nap, sitting on their boxes.
My fun of the weekend was making a rag baby quilt. Here Tim took an "artsy" shot of me sewing.
And here's the finished product - this side if the clean side.
And here is the "rag" side. I love it! It's so soft and I absolutely love the colors. The baby girl I made it for was born Sunday morning. Yay! Can't wait to give it to her.
Funny picture of Cole post-hair cut on Sunday. He looks like a little body builder!
