Milestones

We have lived in our new house about 6 weeks, and we finally did it! We got both of our cars in the garage!

See? Picture proof!

Of course, we still have stuff to unpack...

Of course, not all of it is ours...

And we have boxes to recycle...

But maybe by the end of the year we will have it cleaned out, right?

What's that in Your Nose?

I couldn't make this stuff up if I tried.

Maddox came out of his room (after bedtime) to tell us there was something in his nose. Upon closer inspection, we realized the boy had pushed a small rock up his nose. Way up his nose. Left nostril, to be exact. Trying to avoid an ER visit, I pulled out the tweezers, only to find that he had blown it down low enough that Ben could work it out with his fingers. 

Imagine our surprise when this boulder landed in his hand. How did he get that in there? It's huge!

I'm not sure my nerves can take another 15 years of this.

Bombs

This morning I had an errand to run, and I realized there was heated conversation going on in the back of the van between Connor and O. This is where I tuned into the chatter:


Connor: No, I blow you up!

O: No, I blow you up!

C: My bomb is 100 times big and your bomb is 10 times little, so I blow you up!

O: No, my bomb is bigger so I blow you up!

Let me just say that - to my knowledge - they have never watched movies with bombs and explosions and blowing people up...

And They're Off!

Before...

After!
