Year 4 – Week 12 – Day 1

I am trying to play catch-up on the week. We have too many projects going at one time.

I took the boys to the playground on Wednesday by putting them in the trailer behind my bike. I brought Trevor’s bike in the basket so he could ride.

He says he is “poppin’ wheelies”

Leisurely swinging turns in to..

T: “Faster!!” B: “Fassseh tooooo!”

I am constantly telling them to leave the bike pedals alone. This picture is moments before Brendan got his finger jammed in between the bike gear and chain.

“See ya”

Trevor likes the sand at the playground

How does he get it all over his face?

It is good to have a twin

Brendan had a mysterious fever for about 24hrs and an elevated heart rate for about 72 hours. We don’t know what happened, but he seems to be feeling fine now.

In this light, his horns were showing. 🙂

His hair did this by itself. I couldn’t help but laugh.

Bill got a big cactus needle in his side wall and ended up needing to get a new tire (after a patch job failed). Trevor worked hard to help him put the wheel back on. He told me “I am torquing the lug nuts, Mommy!”

He is a good helper.

I have some videos I still have to edit, I will have to get them up tomorrow. 🙂

Year 4 – Week 11 – Day 4

It has been a number of days, so I have to get a post up.
We have been busy with post-holiday clean up and trying to tackle projects and to-do lists.

We’ve been to IKEA a few times for meatballs and frozen yogurt.

We mailed some late holiday packages. Trevor loves the Trevor-sized handle on the chute at the post office.

The boys make lots of art now. They love markers.

Brendan is working on a huge new project

Shhh… it is top secret

The boys are huge helpers

The project might have something to do with the fact that our home has no stairs and Brendan’s prescription for the most effective PT is stairs, stairs, stairs. He has to develop his lower body strength. More on this project to come.

Secret Trevor won’t tell any more

Random Trevorism:
T: “Mommy, I am sick.”
Me: “Oh? What’s wrong”
T: “My stomach has pickle juice in it.”

(He has never eaten a pickle or had pickle juice, I have no idea where that came from!) I hope everyone in PA is done with their pickle juice. Feel better!

Brendan’s PT has been excellent. This Monday, he had an action packed workout with an obstacle course. He is getting better at wearing his glasses, and his talking is just blowing up! BOOM! Talking Brendan!!
(Videos to come!)
