Big Brother to the Rescue!

Alestair likes to "get Baby out" aka rescue poor Emmett from napping and going to bed. Sometimes he tells him stories mostly he just like to jump in the crib with him and get him all excited making bed times very difficult. I usually don't put Emmett down until Alestair is asleep or have Alestair fall asleep elsewhere and move him...I have to save some sanity here I am not being a push-over. Really do you see the excitement on Emmett's face? The close up is below. I am so thankful my boys love eachother! They both squeal when they see eachother for the first time in the morning it makes me laugh!

Lamb Stew...

Most delicious! Robert made it for us with just a bunch of stuff and I have to say it was way better than I thought. I have never been a stew lover but after this I might be one! The carrots were sooo good (my mouth is going nuts right now) and the peas weren't mush (I almost always hate peas cooked) and the lamb well lamb is just darn good!

Happy St Patrick's Day!

I got the boys matching shirts...

There was no way that leprechauns were going to take my kids that day! For breakfast we had green milk with cereal and for dinner we had hot dogs wrapped in green blankets. I don't remember what lunch was since it was so close after Letter P day and so soon before naptime.

For letter P day we Planted Pumkins! Alestair had a lot of fun and made himself quite the mess! Emmett tried to follow but wasn't fast enough :)

Pasta Making

Alestair has asked and asked to make pasta. So we did it! He helped roll and cut the dough. It was so much fun to do something with him that I used to do with my mom! He was very cute and listened to me the whole time too.

I think he may be a bit confused..

Alestair spilt some milk on himself toda. It pretty much all soaked into his shirt at chest level. He came running to me completely frantic saying "Wook at this! Wook at it! My boobies OH NO! My boobies!" It was hillarious. I could hardly explain to him what happened but a change of clothes helped him out.

Bunk Beds

This is the first night that we set up the bunk beds. More pictures will follow.

A friend of mine said that her dad was trying to get rid of some bunk beds and since I have been thinking we would need to get some for when Emmett is no longer in a crib I have been looking for a good deal. Well as he wanted to get rid of them we didn't have to pay for them. I however kept looking for matresses. Robert picked them up and to our surprise they gave us two matresses to use as well! We are incredibly thankful! I told my friend; whose dad this was, that I would give her Alestair's toddler bed and mattress as she will soon be needing her crib for a new little boy. So it was that on the last day of February Alestair grew up into a bunk bed user and his friend Kristie grew into a toddler bed user. I took Alestair out to pick out bedding at Target. That was such an exprience! He has very particular taste. I tried Thomas and that was a no. He didn't like any of the disney stuff there. Not that I did either so it worked out but we were running low on options that I would be ok with having on my son's bed. Until we found the Backyard Friends line. So so cute! Green and Brown with frogs, grasshoppers, turtles and, Alestair's favorite, fireflies! We picked it up and took it home! I have since found wall stickers and will probably get another set for the top bunk we like it that much! I am also planning on printing up the song "Fireflies" by Owl City and putting it on the wall cause it would be way cute.

A Feast

Alestair joined in... Emmett also grabed my chocolate milk and had a death grip on it. I could hardly pull it out of his hands. And he is cute.
