Lets Paint!!

I finally broke down and bought some paint for the boys. There are some things I just don't want to clean up or get out and paint is one of them. But crayola finger paint is so easy to wipe up. They got it all over the table and there hands and it wipes right off. No hard rubbing. Oliver does not like having it on his hands so he only wants to paint until he gets it on himself then he is done. But Ethan could paint all day if I let him.

Ethan's last day of School

Ethan had his last day of school last week. We are very sad it is over but he will go next year too.
Oliver just loves getting his picture taken.

Here is Ethan and his teacher Miss Barb. She is such a great teacher and just loves all the kids. We cant wait till Oliver is old enough for her class.

This is Ethan and Miss Robin. Her and Miss Barb were awesome with the kids. We will miss them next year.

I did what??

I just wanted to say that I read 3 books last week. Who would have ever thought that I love to read. And that I would or could read 3 books in one week. You might think no big deal, but to me it is. You are probably wondering what 3 books I read so I will tell you. Janet Evonavich had 13 books out about a bounty hunter named Stephanie Plum. I read books 5 and 13. And I cried so hard laughing they are so funny. Then I just read The Spellman Files but Lisa Lutz. Funny but not as funny as the Stephanie plum stories. But still funny. A very funny style of reading. So I would say that Lisa owes me $6 but I enjoy reading so much now I guess she is off the hook.

Seattle Childrens Museum

We went to the Children's Museum last weekend and of course the boys loved it. Ethan wants to go everyday but I am not driving so Seattle everyday. And it was very cold. But we were inside so it was OK. Ethan did say that he liked the Olympia Museum better. Luckily for me cause that one is closer.

Gel is not just for Girls!

So as a Hair Stylist I really want to do fun things with the boy's hair. (Not having a girl an all) But Ethan has been telling me that gel is for girls and he doesn't want any in his hair. So last week I tried to trick him and put some in anyway. He did not like it at all. So I figured that I would end the battle and not try again. So Yesterday he woke up with some pretty crazy hair, I asked him if I could spray it down with water so it wasn't so sleepy head looking. He says Mom I want to have my character hair today. Can we put gel in it? (his character hair is from him Mii) So I was all to happy that he actually asked for gel. So today he wanted it again.

I told them that all my dreams have come true because they let me style their hair.
Oli never has had a problem with the gel. But now that his brother has it he has to have it too.

This one one cool lookin dude.

It's Your Birthday!!!

Winnie had her birthday yesterday. I made a delicious chocolate cake for her. We had yummie tacos for dinner too. It was reall fun to have her here. We went bowling on Friday to really celebrate and of course I forgot my camera so i don't have any pictures of that.

After we had cake I took her up to my shop to give her a sweet new haircut. There is no way this girl is 30.

Just Livin

So this morning when we were getting dressed Oliver grabs the camera climbed up on the couch and says CHEESE!!! He loves getting his picture taken. We will see if this lasts till this summer when we get new family pictures. His new phrases are, "Awe Man" and "Do it"

The other night Ethan stripped down to nothing and was just running around the house. Sometimes I wonder about this kid. But after looking at other friends blogs my kid isn't the only one that likes to strip down.
One of Ethan's new favorite things to do is dress up and be the Survivor Man. So this is his survivor man outfit. And again here is Oliver loving having his picture taken.....Naked.

On Sunday we went up to Toms parents house. It was a little cold but we couldn't resist letting them go for a ride. Oli cant reach the pedal so Ethan is pushing if for him. They would be on that all day if we let them.

Ethan was taking a load to the fire pit. He was driving around picking up all the broken branches from this winter. This thing is cool because the back has a button so you can lift it and dump out the load.
