Happy EASTER!!!

Greetings everyone!!! So after the last picture posted, I had several people concerned that Mr. B had a little issue with his hearing...so to make everyone (and myself) feel better, we took him to visit "Dr. Glub" (Dr. Glover) today so that he could check Mr. B and Buzz Lightyear's ears. Doc said that everything looks fine. He did the little hearing test that you may all remember in school where you raise your hand if you hear something. Doc said Mr. B was a great patient! He loves "Dr. Glub!!"

We are gearing up for the holiday weekend. We visited the Easter Bunny this morning, Mr. B was pumped to see him! I think the last time that we saw him, B was not a happy camper...but that is one of my fave pics of him...and I have one from when I was little too!! Tears and all. Last night we decorated Easter Eggs!!! I was so excited that B decided that one egg needed to be dipped in ALLLLL the colors. He calls that one his "Ugly Egg." I loved it! We always had an egg like that. I'll try to get some pics of it in our Easter photos from Sunday morning! It is purty!

Mr. B and his Daddy are more alike everyday. MB NEVER forgets anything he's read and has pretty much cornered the market on photographic memory skills!! My oldest brother M called today to ask if I had seen his wedding band while Mr. B and I were at his house last weekend. He'd looked everywhere and it wasn't where he had left it. I told him I had not seen it, and that it was doubtful that Mr. B would remember if he had seen it, or played with it for that matter, but B was playing at the desk that it was sitting on, so it was a possibility. I talked to Mr. B with no luck, he didn't have a clue what I was talking about...so I enlisted Daddy for help. Since Mr. B and Dad think on the same level (ha ha...just kidding) I asked him to put B under the microscope and see what he could get out of him. Lo and behold, Mike called to tell me that B said he had played with a "gray ring" that day and had put it in the blue bowl with eyes on it. He said he was hiding it from the baby (his cousin). So I called brother M and told him to check there, because YES, my kid does have a vivid imagination but this story was too good to be made up. So when brother M called his home, his housekeeper checked and she FOUND IT!!!!!!!!! What a smart little guy! I was so relieved. Smarty pants!!!!!!!

So-- off for now! I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday weekend and that you are all staying warm---cuz it sure is cold here! OH! BG seems to be fine. She's kicking me like crazy, so I know she's still in there!

Love to all!!!!!!!!!

Spring is in the air!

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL DAY!!!! I love spring in OR!!! I can't wait for the leaves to start budding and the grass to green up. It is a great time of year. Mr. B and I spent the evening at the playground...the black playground as he calls it...because there is a huge wooden structure that he plays on and the wood is kind of a grey color. There is a purple playground too, its near our house. We like that one as well.

Mr. B is timid though. We have been to various play areas in restaurants that have the tubes that kids play in and he just won't go without getting upset. One day MB had to get another kid to guide Mr. B out because he was stuck, and crying. He is so nervous and cautiously steps over the playset, which is huge btw. It makes me wonder if the BG is going to open the gates with a no fear attitude. I have heard that about a lot of second kids. Can't wait to see their differences.

We went to our old neighbors house in Kville last night. They have two kids older than Mr. B and he always loved playing with them...so it was a real treat. There were about six kids there in total and they had a ball. Suddenly Mr. B comes running into the room where all the adults were, with blue goggles on his head and a play screwdriver in his hand and yells, "Mommy!! We're DANCING!" Well let me tell you, my kid can cut a rug. His favorite thing to do is shake his booty. He bends all the way over and puts his hands on the ground and shakes his booty in the air. Now I must say that I didn't teach this particular dance to him, although we've learned many together, but I do encourage him to do it often. It is so funny!!! So glad he got my dancing skills and not his Dad's (sorry MB)!

Spring weather brings lots of fun for us as I imagine we won't be inside much these next few months. I was hoping that we'd be able to enroll Mr. B in a sports activity, but no luck at his current age. Oh well. We'll find more to do!

BG seems to be doing ok, she's moving a lot especially at night...I am not feeling so hot today though, but I think I just ate too much. MB is out of town again for the week.

Got to run get the pizza put away that is on Mr. B's tray. Mattie B is giving it the evil eye...she's sneaky when it comes to people food. Will post again soon.
