Crazy Kids

The day we moved into our house, one of Mason's cousins told him that he had to water this little mound of dirt under the playground so that a flower would grow. Mason took this to heart and every day for 3 weeks he has been faithfully watering the little pile of dirt, with complete faith that the flower will grow. Well Grandma Delta gave him a little flower in a pot and told him he could plant it. So for FHE yesterday we planted the flower and convinced him to plant it in a little better of spot than right underneath the swing. I told him that from now on he could just water that flower instead of the dirt. Good plan, right? Nope! At 6:30 AM this morning Mason bounced out of bed and ran to get his shoes on so he could water his flower AND his dirt.



Last night Mason was pretending to spot pirates in his playhouse. I asked it they were coming and if we should hide, and he responded that we didn't need to hide, they could come play with him.
And the boys loving the rock wall. Myles can climb it almost as well as Mason!


This morning Myles wanted me to put one of my hair elastics on him, and then Mason wanted me to put one on Elliott. When we put it on Myles, Mason said "Oh, you look like a girl. You are my sweet little sister. I love you little sister." Myles thought it was hilarious and kept saying "I look like a girl!"
Yes there is a big ugly bruise in between his eyes. The high chair in Delta fell on him when he was climbing on it and at first he had a huge bump, then a small bump, and now a bruise.

Can Myles teach my daughter something about wearing hair bows? And lets add to that, can she borrow some of his hair? It's just not fair when boys have prettier hair than girls! :)

We're Coming Home!!!

I'm not posting "before" pictures because they are a little too scary, but this is a pretty good "after" picture if you ask me! Mason had another amazing night. Yesterday he wouldn't stand on his own (we think because of all the bruising, pulled groin muscle, swollen foot) but he slept really well all night (and kept his oxygen levels up without help) and this morning he woke up with a lot more energy. He ate 3 little boxes of fruit loops, 2 containers of milk, and is working on a muffin now. He's gone potty by himself, and walked back and forth to the playroom down the hall two or three times. He seems completely back and in the playroom used potato heads to re-enact a scene from Toy Story 2. The pediatrician just came in and told us that he feels good about going home as long as we follow-up with our pediatrician by Wednesday morning at the latest to get the stitches out, re-write prescriptions (can't fill Canadian ones in US), and decide where ...

Quick Update

First of all, thanks for all the prayers we know are received. I'm going to make this update quick and dirty since I have a hard time thinking about it and I want to get back to Mason. I also don't know if every detail is completely accurate but this is the way I understand it. Yesterday afternoon my dad and Marshall took the two boys hiking at Boundary Bay in Waterton . It is a short flat trail that you access through a boat ride and goes for a mile or so and crosses over a creek. They were hiking along and when they got close to the creek the boys stopped and Mason held my dad's hand while Myles held Marshall's. My dad and Mason were in front and to get onto the bridge (just two cut logs with a hand rail on one side) you have to step on a rock. Mason and my dad both stepped on the rock and Mason was so excited to see the water that he jumped up onto the bridge. He slipped, causing my dad to loose his balance and Mason spun around causing my dad to loose the grip on hi...

Need Advice & Suggestions

Image
Okay, I know I have so many friends and family members who are incredibly great decorators and have a much better eye for this stuff than me, so I am calling on you to help me. When we moved into our house over a year ago, I knew the main floor needed painting. I even got quotes from painters. But when it came down to it I didn't trust myself enough to pick paint colors and spent the money on furniture instead. Well, now I'm ready to paint again and have some colors in mind but really want opinions and/or suggestions. Basically the main floor is about 1800 square feet. There is an entrance which crazy high ceilings, then off of that a living room on one side and a dining room on the other. Ahead to the right there is a bathroom and my office, and to the left a hallway and then the kitchen/family room. They are all Restoration Hardware colors that I will have matched with Benjamin Moore paint. These swatches probably aren't all that accurate, but some of you might be familia...
