Tidbits

So today as I'm trying to get Wyatt to settle down and fall asleep (at 7:30 pm since he had no nap), Will comes in from outside and decides that he wants to rock with me and Wyatt.  He says, "Mama, I don't feel very good, my tummy hurts."  I say "Oh No, maybe you should get ready for bed since you dont feel good."  Will says "Yeah, I don't feel good........I feel like dog poop Mama.  Dog Poop."  As I am laughing to myself trying to figure out why he thinks he feels like dog poop, he says:  "I feel icky, just like dog poop and it stinks!"  I'm not really sure that I want to go there trying to figure out his logic, I'm just going to assume that he didn't feel very good!!  Kids say the darnest things............... more tidbits to follow I'm sure!

TA DA!! The new Swing Set is here!!!

Yes, it is like have mini version of Vegas for kids in the backyard!!!!!!!

Drew and I decided to purchase the boys a new swing set since the one that we acquired from Raelyn and Greg was no longer "safe" for them to play on.  We have been looking at this swing set for 2 years and finally bit the bullet and ordered it.  It took 3 weeks for it arrive at the house and only took Drew about 12-14 hours to put it together.  It is quite the Swing Set.  The boys were stunned the day they came home and saw the boxes (which had pictures on them) and then amazed the next day when they came home from daycare to see the new playset in the back yard.  Will looked at me in the car with his mouth as wide open as I have ever seen it and says "Mama, its perfect!"".  Wyatt just smiled and said "Wow!".  It has been a great babysitter since Drew erected it and it is hard to get them to come in at night now. Here are some pics of the old one and of the new one.......
Old tried and true!
