So behind on and not very good updating photos of the family and our doings. Have we been doing anything?? We at least had some sun in between the rain and hail today. The weather is so strange these days.

Anyway, I wanted to share a couple of pictures of the boys from a few days ago. Before I knew it, Nate was asleep upstairs on the comfy floor (lol) and not just on the floor but on a pile of books on the floor.

I took Will downstairs with me and next thing I know this is what he looks like.


They get the sleeping thing honestly by me. I think I can sleep anywhere too :)

I'm also going to share a picture of myself after I dyed my hair. I picked out a blue black and its very black, but obviously, I have dark hair so it doesn't really make a huge difference. I was just tired of seeing my gray so pronounced. I like the gray hidden.

The boys were quite disturbed by the whole rinsing process. I recall words such as "gross" and "disgusting". In fact, Will later told me before going to bed that it "really disgusted him and that he ran out of the bathroom screaming like a girl". Literally, that is what he said. Let me just tell you that all the teachers are going to know that Nate and Will have an older (quite a bit older) sibling by the words they use. Nice huh?

Visiting over Mother's Day Weekend

We went down to my Mother's for Mother's Day and had a good time. Our gift to her was my hubby's labor which is always a good thing for Mom. Her deck railing needed some tending. For some reason, the individual that put the deck railing up left the space in between the slats much too wide and since her decking is about 15 feet above the ground, it was not a safe place for the boys to be. Plus, with the acquisition of Daisy, it made sense to fix it. So by the end of the weekend, Mom had a safer railing and a new gate at one side of her decking.

But, and there is always a but, the boys (as most children) never keep the same sleeping habits when traveling or visiting. That is our experience in general and it was the case at Mom's. It makes for a somewhat stressful visit when dealing with upset schedules.

On another upside though, my little sister was able to pick up one of my younger brothers on her way down and they were both able to stay the night, so we got a chance to visit with them which was nice.

Here is a picture of my sister and Hunter
And here is a picture of Eden and me. Why does my head look so much bigger than hers??? The question of the century I'm sure.
Well, that's it for now. I guess this is the kind of post you get when its 3:16am. Lesson learned - do not go to bed too early because when one's children wake you up its impossible to get back to sleep.
