St. Patrick's Day

Today is St. Patrick's Day and the boys looked SOOOO cute in their coordinated outfits and festive green shirts :) I always feel so happy and content when they match and look nice - makes my heart smile :)

We took a trip to Target today because Jake has been saving up his money and wanted to buy a Wii game. They didn't have the African Safari Hunt game that he really wanted (which I don't want him to have anyway because they shoot elephants) but he did find a fun Scooby-Doo game that he has played all day. (Henry calls Scooby-Doo "Ba-Doo) :) Then we had a pizza party with Poppy, Sassy, Becca, and Brooks. And earlier today we also took a ride on the Gator. Jake drives but I work the gas - it was a nice day and the weather is getting warmer. Tomorrow is supposed to be upper 70s!

Jake started TBall practice last week and seems to really enjoy it! He has learned to catch a ground ball pretty good and stay in the "stance' when he is in the outfield. He got to play 1st baseman and got his first "out" at practice!

Jake and Henry do alot of wrestling, fussing, and playing together. Just now, they were playing monster trucks on the floor and Henry kept climbing over Jake, on top of him. Jake said "You broke my left bone, Henry" - it was pretty cute :)

Henry says alot of cute phrases like "I did it", "I hold it", "I get out", etc - he is definitely talking more and more each day and expressing his desires and needs. He loves to drink water and calls it "wahdee" :) And pretty much calls any other drink in a cup with a straw, tea.

At Jake's school, for good behavior, they get a star on the daily behavior chart. Jake has been doing a good job of getting stars. He received one heart for doing a random act of kindness one day. And he has received one sad face for a day that he turned his friend's lunch box upside down.

At home, Jake has expressed interest in doing chores to make a little money so he can go to the store, Staples, and buy a wii game. The first week, Jake did well doing each day's chore but then he got sick and pretty much stopped. :) The boys both were sick last week with the 12 hour stomach throwup bug. Poor guys! It was sad but thankfully they got better fairly quickly. Jake did have to miss one day from school because of his fever. Henry's fever got up to 102.2.

Jake and Henry both seem like they are starting to get slim and tall. Jake's "thunder thigh" legs as we used to call them are becoming more like little bird legs! Henry, too, is slimming out and looking tall and skinny. I want my chunky, fat rolled babies back!
