First Cut!

Well, the baby mullet is finally gone. It wasn't until this week that I finally thought, "this isn't so cute anymore." Not that my baby isn't always cute to me... and everyone else that sees him, but it was getting a little long and when people ask how old your little girl is (wearing all blue and looking so boy to me) then you know it's time! I started the cut and Adam finished it. He was mad and squirming so much, we only had to cut the back since the front didn't need it. It's a little choppy, but still cute. Hey, it was my first time cutting with actual scissors. I use the clippers on Adam, and tonight was only the fourth time for that. In these economic times, we cut all the boys' hair. That's what tonight was, hair night for the boys, and finally Greyson got to join in. Jude even asked to have his locks cut off. I think that he'll have plenty of time to get the "do" back so he can be Wolverine for Halloween. He has the perfect hair for it! When he gets sweaty it can be pushed up on all the sides and back and POOF, Wolverine!

Mullet tucked into the shirt collar!

Getting ready...

ooh, toys!

Oh, heelll no!!!

Happy within seconds...

too cute!

We've been up to, well , not much around here lately, but I've been plugging away with the camera. Lots of video lately since the boys have been pretty funny and Greyson's finally walking every where! He is so proud of himself. He is also teething, but thanks to his cute teething necklace, he isn't hurting that much. Just in the evening is he a little cranky, but it was much worse when he didn't have the necklace... for his first 2 teeth he got back in the summer! He finally has about 6 teeth, 3 of which just popped out and 2 more are finally dropping down after seeing them lingering for the past month or more. (FYI: I was just reading the site info, and they don't recommend these for babies anymore due to the laws, but we have not had any problems with Greyson trying to actually chew on his, he doesn't even play with it.)

Ethan has been registered for Pre-K in the fall and is very excited to "go to preschool when I'm 4!" I'm excited because it is about 1/2 the price of Jude's pre-k that he went to, and I think much better suited for Ethan. I had to go stand in line and wait for over an hour to get him in, he got the last morning spot available... I'll take last, we're still in!

Ohh, one big task that Adam and I accomplished was we switched the boy's bedroom with ours. I know, how could I give up my master bedroom... easy! It was turning into the boy's storage closet anyways. Now they have all of their things in their room, and we only have their rocker in our room. We DID NOT switch baths though. There is no way they need a big bathroom, they are small kids, and I have a lot of stuff to store in ours.

Jude is happy that we've finally had some better weather so he can go biking. I know it isn't Maine, but the rain gets to you too. Martha, I'm sure you'll see spring soon!

I think that my next task will be to... oh wait, I have baby showers to plan! Stay tuned for Molly and Geoff's "Party" update. Hey, that's what it will be, a co-ed cocktail party, mock-tail for Mol. She knows what she wants! Bets and I are throwing it for them in Portland and we're so excited, it'll be lots of fun.

Mamma Mia!

I know if you follow my Face Book account, then you've seen the boys' video, but this one has to be added here for the record. They love the movie and the soundtrack to Mamma Mia. So here is one of their renditions of the song.

(The song is playing in the background if you can't hear it.)

BTW, their Grandmother is responsible for their love.

Greyson's Learning to Walk!!!

We have had a busy weekend with friends and family. On Friday, Grey, Ethan & I went to our play group. I think Greyson saw all of his friends walking around and decided he had to try. From the group, we went to Grandpa Jim & Grandma Doris's house (Great Grandpa Greg was visiting), and he started taking 1 & 2 steps. By the end of the night he was making it half way across the living room (with treats to entice him)! Today was Super Bowl day, and he tried walking more. He gets really excited about it and starts bouncing which makes him fall over, but he doesn't seem to mind when he does a face plant. It's very funny to watch! I bet by the end of this week he'll be making his way around the house.
