Happy “Pi day of the Century!”
(We failed to do anything nerdy to celebrate) I guess we could celebrate any day at 3:14 and 15 seconds.

We did pick up a sweet craigslist score today. A fairly vague ad that I almost let go by said they had 12 Lego building plates and a bag of loose Legos. Those plates are expensive!! Not only did we get the super deal on the plates, including a 3D mountain one that Trevor adores, the bag had almost 50 minifigures (aka Lego “guys”) in it. Brendan is all totally in to Lego “guys”.

Brendan’s favorite Lego set is his police station and he asks for it every morning. He likes to put all the cop “guys” in to the jail and the criminal one drives the police car. Any other guy that drives the police car has to wear the “Bad-guy hat” which is a black knit cap. Now he has so many hats and hairs and legs and costumes. Trevor covered his mountain scape with an army of construction guys.

Here are the boys with some of their new haul.

“The Lego Movie” is a bit mature for them to watch right now, but they like the opening scene with the main character Emmett going through his daily routine. If you haven’t seen it, this will not make any sense.

This mom is having fun with the boys’ great interest in Legos. We have building time almost every day now!

This week has flown by. We heard back on Brendan’s sleep study – all normal! We have a follow up with pulmonology on April 9th to see how he is doing off of the vent. At that point, the vent might get picked up for good! We also heard back on the bloodwork – all normal! His formula is not needed additional supplementation.
We have all had head colds this week, stuffy/runny noses mostly. It hasn’t been serious yet, just annoying. Brendan is doing great!
Here’s the catch up on pictures:

Brendan eats one mint M&M

The boys “helped” with a sewing project

They did help with the cleanup

Brendan puts on his own glasses

He has a little song to share

Second Tuesday of every month is free admission day at the Desert Botanical Garden. We had never gone before so we met Bill after work. Nothing was blooming yet, maybe next month will be better.

Trevor is pulling Brendan away from the cactus to keep him safe

Trevor said, “Aww little baby cactus! They’re so cute!!”

We are already hitting high 80’s for temperatures. We’ve been playing outside in the mud and water and trying to avoid turning on the air conditioning!

Yesterday, Bill took the boys out west to Uncle Ken & Aunt Barbara’s ranch. They got to explore the model railroad layout, meet some of the animals and just play out in the dirt. I got to stay home… alone! I had about 6 hours to myself in the house to get some projects done.

Today was Bill’s turn to go out and leave the boys with me. They were still tired from yesterday’s adventure.
