Big brother knows best

This afternoon after Matt got up from his nap the boys were running back and forth from couch to couch laying on one another's blankets and pillows. At one point they get the big idea to lay on the loveseat together, one at each end. After about 3 minutes of that, big brother gets up and gets Matt a pacifier, his juice, make sure he has his blanket and pillow and "puts him to bed." The hilarious part was that Andrew knew to get the pacifier (out of the drawer mind you) and that Matthew was going along with every minute of it! I was laughing so hard! This is Matthew after Andrew put him to bed!

Much to my surprise!

This evening I was at the computer in the basement finishing a paper that is...of course...due tomorrow for one of my nursing classes. I had told Andrew that I was going to be back upstairs in 30 minutes to put him to bed. I heard him get out of the bed a few times so I knew he was still up. Then I got busy and wasn't paying much attention anymore. When I got upstairs this is what I found.

Needless to say he is sleeping in my bed tonight because I am not carrying 62 pounds of dead weight 5 feet across to hall to have my back killing me tomorrow!

When Mom's not watching

Yesterday, Andrew presented to me with a finger bleeding perfusely. When I asked him where this happened this is what I found...They took the lid off its hinges, the pins still in the hinges, the glass was laying on the bed and as far as I know...most of the medals are still present. The key to this whole story is I didn't hear them do ANY OF IT! This is just a forcast as to what lies ahead!

Just some new moments.

I just took this picture this afternoon and I absolutely love it! I can almost see the halo above his head...however, I know the truth!

This is Jason's little HUSKER boy. Anytime Jason has the boys because I am at work or school, I come home and Matthew has this outfit on!

This is Andrew's self portrait. I know it is out of focus...but I LOVE IT!

Another Doctor's Appointment!

Andrew came out of his room tonight with the line..."Mom, I forgot how to sleep. Will you rock me?"

So he climbed up on my lap and we "nuggled" in together. (I need a bigger rocking chair by the way to fit the two of us!) Anyway, as we were rocking Andrew goes...

"Mom, when you get out of school tomorrow, will you take T-Rex (his new prized possesssion...next to his castle) to the doctor. His eyes are red."

For those of you who are unfamiliar with the Fisher-Price Mega T-Rex...his eyes light up...RED!

A weekend from...WELL...guess it wasn't that bad!

I know I have be negligient in keeping up with my blogging so if you would rather read my blogs PLEASE feel free to e-mail me and I will send you my homework to do instead! :)

We were supposed to be in Scottsbluff this weekend for State Student Nurse convention...however...Jason's mom got sick and was in Methodist last week. We switched our plans quick and could I have skipped clinicals we would have been down there earlier! I would like to say she is doing better...which she is...but it's slow.

So Friday morning I took a Patho test in 15 minutes :) packed up the kids again and headed to Omaha. We spent the afternoon hanging out with Grandma K and by the time Jason got there Grandma K and I were ready for naps! :) That night Uncle Mike and "his friend" (Jason's sister) came out and played with the boys.

We ended up taking Andrew to Urgent Care on Saturday to have them tell me that he had an ear infection after waiting for an HOUR AND FORTY-FIVE MINUTES! We then had to stop by Cabela's so he could look at which shotgun he would like to buy! Yes...my 3 1/2 year old wants to buy a SHOTGUN!!! (I would like to take this minute to thank Jason, Papa Shoe and TIM!) The weird thing is he knows exactly what he's going to do with it...go deer hunting!

We got home this afternoon about 2:30 and early enough the boys could run around like mad men outside for awhile and Jason could try to snowblow!

Now, it's Sunday night again and I have two tests tomorrow...which I have just BEGUN to study for...and a week of clinicals and class! YIKES!

Andrew at his best!

Tonight we were sitting at the dinner table and I was asking Jason to do something, but he was too busy eating so I jokingly said...

"OH, I forgot you can't do two things at once!"

Without hesitation Andrew piped right up and said..."MOM CAN!"

We both got a good chuckle out of it. Five minutes later Andrew was pounding on the table yelling at his dad to pay attention to him.

That one about sent us to the floor laughing.

Church Goers!

Last night after we had finished supper I asked Jason what time he would like to go to church in the morning. Andrew just flat out goes..."WHY?"

It was all we could do not to laugh. His grandfather and great-grandfather would probably have a cow if they heard him!

Learning to Count

For weeks I have been trying to teach Andrew the "Buckle My Shoe" rhyme. For the most part he does okay...but last night we had a regression it went as follows:

ME: 1, 2

Andrew: Buckle my shoe

ME: 3, 4

Andrew: Get off my horse!

Needless to say...we didn't get past three and four...my was on the floor laughing.
