Taxi

Mike has learned a new song that they play on Noggin. He surprises me b/c out of nowhere he will sing songs or say things that he has picked up and I had no idea he knew them.



These are the words just in case he's not quite clear-

Taxi, Taxi
Riding in the backseat
Roll the window up
Roll the window down
Put the money through the slot
See ya later
Thanks a lot
Sure beats walkin' cross town

The month of May

I have been so bad about posting anything. So here are the happenings from most of this month! I can't believe it's gone by so fast. We are going to the dr on Wednesday, so hopefully I will be posting news soon. The boys have just moved into a room together tonight for the first time. This should be very interesting! We will see what kind of funny stories come from this!

Mother's Day!

Our picture from the Melting Pot


This year I got a huge surprise for Mother's Day. First, Joe and the kids got me a watch to wear when I work out. Now that I am pregnant, I have to check my heart rate all the time and it's hard to do without a watch! The best part was that Mike was so excited that he and "dad" had gotten me a present. He was clapping and jumping up and down. He notices every time I wear it.
Secondly, Joe had secretly arranged for our neighbor to watch the kids while we went out to dinner in Wilmington. He made plans for a mother's day dinner at the Melting Pot. It came with flowers and a framed picture of the two of us at dinner. It was so nice and he did such a great job keeping the surprise!

Memorial Day Weekend!

The pool is open! Hooray! We went to the pool on base Saturday. Mike had a blast. He played with some other kids and had lots of fun pretending he was a submarine. Henry had fun, but after about an hour we had to leave b/c even with SPF 70, he was getting burned. Only my kids can get a sunburn with SPF 70. Must be that Irish blood. Just not made for sun. Joe has the worst burn I think I have ever seen. He thought going to the beach for the first time without any sunscreen would be ok. He's hurting now! The kids had a great time at the beach on Sunday too. The actual ocean was really cold, but there were puddles left from high tide that were really warm. They both played forever. Henry was a challenge b/c he wanted so badly to eat the sand. We stayed for a record 2 1/2 hours!

Goofing Around

Joe has been off work due to the holiday. As these boys get a little older, the rough housing seems to become more and more constant. Henry, even as small as he is, has been finding his way into the craziness. Sometimes on purpose, and sometimes because he is just caught in the crossfire!
