...wow, talk about stresssssfulll!!! Who cares about these things anyway? It really was a bit of a goat rodeo getting these done, but don't we look good!? (You can click on the collages to enlarge them.)
Daddy sometimes takes us to the hardware store on Saturday mornings to let Mumma have some (not so) quiet time with Ian. We have a BLAST! I thought the best part about going was driving the "race car" shopping cart, UNTIL.... last Saturday we found out there is a weekly kids workshop where we get to build something! Yes, that's right, Daddy holds the nail while WE get to swing the hammer!! We get our own Home Depot apron with our name on it and when we complete a project we get a special pin to put on our apron. This week we built a spice rack for Mumma. We both can't wait to go back and build something else! Daddy.....well, I don't think he's as excited as we are about us building things. ;)
The second time around, or at least for Mumma. ...and as you may recall from Myles post several years ago, it's NOT gymnastics, it's tumbling!!! :) Finally the poor forgotten middle child gets to do something fun! I get to go to Kids Gym just like Myles did when he was my age. The biggest difference is that I am not a chicken like he was! Man, I will do anything!!! Backward roll, forward roll, trampoline, rings, sponge pit, you name it! I LOVE going and I think Mumma likes me going too, cuz I go to bed very nicely after all of my running, jumping, and tumbling.
She's here, she's here!! Our new(est) cousin made her grand debut (late of course, as chicks usually are) into this world on November 10. Addilyn (Addie) Marie was 6.13 pounds and 20 inches long. We went to visit her, Wes, Aunt Wendy and Uncle Ben in the hospital. I gotta let 'cha in on a little secret though, this poor girl doesn't stand a chance with all of us boys around.
Weighing in at 38 1/2 pounds fully clothed and standing 43 1/2 inches tall is one average 5 year old boy. :) Myles had his 5 year old well child check up and is making up for some lost time and is now in the 50% for both height and weight. He had a great check up and even got to go to McDonalds play land for dinner, as Mumma thought she had to bribe him since he was going to get a shot. ....well, did he get lucky, cuz there were no pokes at this visit! :) We won't bother letting him know now that he will have at least one shot at his 6 year check up now, will we!?
I got to have my first "big" birthday party at Kids Gym. We had a good time bouncing and running, and bouncing and running, and bouncing and running...well you get the picture. :) I had all of my pals there and we had a blast!
We all went apple picking at Gull Meadow Farms last weekend. It was fun picking the apples, but I personally found it more exciting to see how far I could kick the apples on the ground.
