A Trip to the Doctor's Office

Mason and Alex got their vaccination against the flu today. Instead of a shot they got a squirt in the nose, which was no big deal since they're used to me squirting them with saline when they get a cold. The best part for them was that they each got a sucker. The best part for me was that they got weighed and measured!

Mason: 31 lbs / 50-75th % 34 1/2" / 5th %

Alex: 31 lbs / 50-75th % 35" / 5-10th %

I find it amazing how close they stay in height and weight.

Separate Rooms?

A few people have asked me if I thought moving the boys into separate bedrooms would help at bedtime. Looking at this picture, how could anyone try to split these two up? My little partners in crime. I went in and checked on the boys at 8:30 and they had pulled a bunch of clothes out again. I made them pick everything up (yes, it's all stuffed into the bottom two drawers but at least it's off the floor for now) and then I put them back into bed. At 9:00 this is how I found them in Alex's bed. Mason is laying on the Pooh pillow and Alex has his Bobby Labonte pillow propped up on Mason's back. Cat is laying on top of Alex. I left them how they were because I don't think they'd been asleep long enough to move much but I'll have to get them situated in their own beds before I go to bed.

You Reap What You Sow

I have often been reminded of the time I was little and pulled every piece of clothing I owned out of my dresser drawers...

Last night when I went to check on the boys, this is what I found. They had pulled everything out of the bottom two drawers and half of the clothes from the 2nd drawer. Keep in mind that the room is completely dark and the flash of my camera lights it up when I take a picture.

(Notice cat hasn't gone very far.)
As we were going to bed, I asked Jason, "Do you think God is laughing at us right now?"
