Now I have more than I can personally eat

My New Jersey friends are getting ready to get some presents!

How Much is that Doggie in the Window?

This is Sneaky's new "I'm on bedrest because I have a back condition" crate.

As you can see, some people have other ideas for it.

The Batwing

Pap sent this to Michael the other day--unassembled in its original box, of course.

THREE HOURS LATER.............Mommy had it all put together.

6 Year Molars

For the past few days Michael has been complaining about his mouth hurting.  I looked where he was pointing and saw what looked like a canker sore.  I put some Orajel in there and he seemed to feel better.

Tonight he asked me for more medicine for his mouth and I had him lay down on my bed while I put it in his mouth.  I put my finger in there before I put the Orajel on and the "canker sore" was hard.

Poor Michael G, he doesn't have a canker sore, he has a 6 year molar!!!!!  I'm so sad--this is his first permanent "adult" tooth :-(

Sorry I don't have pictures--didn't think you'd want to see inside his big mouth!

New Obsessions

Cal is still very into trains and Thomas, but Michael isn't really (thank goodness).  Of course, Cal likes to like whatever Michael likes, so he follows along with just about anything.  The new thing in our house is Legos and Batman.

DeeDee found some Batman pjs and sent them to us today as a surprise.  She had no idea that I had been out at Target just yesterday trying to find them, unsuccessfully!

Of course, trying to get the pictures of Michael was like PULLING TEETH.  He is 4.5 and has a BAD CASE OF THE WIGGLES all the time!  Cal was willing to stand back against the wall and pose for his pictures, then rushing over to preview them to make sure he liked them!

Chef Hats

Okay--so the boys got these chef hats from my aunt, Amy, for Christmas.  They decided yesterday that they needed to wear them with their sunglasses on while inside.  They also needed to wear them outside while swinging.  Then Michael said his hair was getting hot and he took it off so Cal followed suit.

Tomatoes

Can you believe these beauties????  I was out this evening admiring my tomato "trees" and I think I can officially say that I will probably have more tomatoes than I can personally eat!
