I was doing a quick clean up and asked the boys to play in their playroom, they listened but were much too quiet. I looked in to find them "feeding" their babies, now how do I explain this one to them?

Five on Friday
Friday is here finally!!! I have found that I look forward to Friday because it means I have two days of Cookie home to help out with the boys and to have some family time. Here it is the five on Friday......
1. Noah had his one month check up even though he is 5 almost 6 weeks old & did fantastic & is 11lbs 12oz & 22 3/4inches!
2. I had my 6 week check up & did not get as clean a bill of health as Noah. It seems I over did it and have strained/pulled my ab muscles so now I am not "allowed" to pick up Samuel and I have to take it easy for the next few weeks. I will let you know how well that goes.
3. We booked our trip to Florida and I am overly excited. Cookie is going with us for part of it so we will have a mini family vacation. I can not wait to see my family & friends!
4. Samuel's birthday is only 2 weeks away & I can not believe that he is going to be two years old!!! We have decided to have his party as a kids only party and out at My Gym I hope he likes it and doesn't look back and thing his mother punked out and didn't have his party at home.
5. Finally, I have to say I LOVE watching a sport game on tv with Cookie he watches every game as if it were the last game of the season and it just makes me smile!!

Muffin Man
Do you know the Muffin Man? Well I do he lives on Patricia Lane & his name is Samuel Popotte! During Noah's afternoon nursing session there was an scary quiet from the kitchen, I called Samuel he answered but would not come to me so I knew he was safe but what was he up to....well he was helping himself to the muffins.

Evening Ride
The boys wait all day long for Cookie to come from work & take them outside for their evening bike ride or whatever trouble they are going to get into. I take this time to get dinner together, use the bathroom, facebook, chat on the phone, or all of the above. I was happy I peaked my head out to tell them dinner was ready because they are so cute on their bikes!

Lies, Vandalism, & Stealing
Lies, Vandalism,& Stealing are all things that Elijah has done in the past few days.
Lies....all of the sudden he is not telling the truth when asked simple questions like "did you drink all your milk?" or "did you let the dog outside?" I hope this ends soon because it is driving me crazy!
Vandalism...Elijah so nicely scratched the side of the minivan up. I was shocked to find him scratching a picture into the rear passenger side panel. When I asked him why he did it he responded, "I wanted to draw you a picture, do you like it?" I responded loudly & without swearing, "NO I DO NOT!" The following day Cookie had him assist in washing the van in hopes it would come out but it did not so this coming weekend he will be helping Cookie buff it out.
Stealing....after a field trip out with Cookie to the grocery store and Lowes Elijah excitedly pulled out a pack of pumpkin seeds and expressed how he could not wait to plant them. Cookie looked strangely puzzled and I asked about the seeds to find out that Cookie in fact did not buy them for Elijah, Elijah simply pocketed them. We began explaining that to him that he could not just take things from a store. Elijah firmly informed us that he did ask he was saying over and over to Cookie "Excuse Me!" but Elijah said Cookie was too busy talking to the man at the store to answer him so he just took them. Well after explain again that you can not just take things we have informed Elijah that he will be going back to the store to pay for the seeds.
I am hoping these three events are a stage that he is going to get out of QUICKLY!

Time Out
Anyone who has been listening to me in the past few months knows that Samuel has been a handful to say the very least. However he is really good at something & that is time out. Amazingly if I tell him to go sit in time out he just goes, he may complain on his way there by asking "Why" a hundred times but once sitting in his chair he sits in it until you tell him to get up or he passes out! My plan now is to send him to time out about 10:30 every morning so he can get a brief nap and I can actually get a minute. Have I mentioned how cute he is & how much I love my almost 2 year old baby boy....well I do & more than anyone can even imagine!

Five on Friday
Five on Friday is all about pride this week!
1. I am extremely proud of my husband & how hard he works to provide for our family, put up with my craziness, & how we have learned to support and depend on eachother!
2. I am very proud of Samuel's manners, for a little boy who is almost 2 years old I think he had amazing manners. I guess the fact that I have been drilling them into him all day everyday for the past 23 months has paid off.
3. I am very proud of Elijah and how he has taken on role of our oldest child. I think he has fallen perfectly into the role and is going to be as good if not better at than his mother and father are.
4. I am proud of Noah and that he is able to nurse while I scream at his brothers, that he sleeps at least 4 hours most nights, & that he decided to be born on the day he wanted and not one that was picked for him!
5. I am proud of myself and the fact that I survived taking all three boys out of the house on two different days and we even had a fun time while we were out!!

Easter Eggs
I know it has almost been a month since Easter but I really wanted to make sure I got pictures up of our egg decorating adventure with the Cluett family. The night before Easter they were so nice to have us over to decorate eggs, Chinese food, banana splits, & great conversation and company. We had a great night just hanging out, they are an amazing family that always make you feel welcome and loved. Julie was confident that her labor trick of Chinese & banana spits was going to work and it did! Anyways here are a few pictures of the eggs that the boys had a blast decorating with the Cluett kids!

Clean baby!
I love the smell of a clean baby, I mean honestly who doesn't. So after being home for almost three weeks I finally broke down and gave Noah his first bath. I have never given a baby their first bath, my mom has had the honor of giving both Elijah and Samuel their first bath. But I knew that Noah could not wait till June for his first bath so into the sink he went tonight & he LOVED it he was so happy & never made a whimper!!!! Success was had by all and now at least tonight while I endless nurse him all night long he will smell so clean!

Brother Love
Saying that Samuel loves his baby brother Noah is an understatement. He is in crazy love for him & often reminds me of Lenny from the novel Mice & Men. Samuel wants to help constantly with Noah, bust out into song when he cries, offers to hold him nonstop, and loves to comb his hair. I am trilled that the love is there but I could handle it being brought down just a little, I hope over time that the fascination with Noah fades slightly. In the meantime here are a few photos of Noah and Sammy.
