We all survived the day! It started out a bit crabby, we had a OK PT session and then they both took good naps and woke up in good moods.

The secret to success is to always put myself in between them and try to get them playing with their own things. Or, just put them in a drawer.

Brendan wanted to chew on his HME and oxygen line again so I made him wear his cap. If he is going to have his oxygen in his mouth, he ought to breathe through his mouth!

He wore his cap for an hour and ten minutes!

Keeping Trevor happy while I make dinner involves a spoonful of peanut butter straight from the jar

He is not a huge fan of mac n cheese, but he will eat some. But mix in hamburger meat, and he ate the entire bowl and asked for more! And that is on top of peas and raspberries and spoonfuls of peanut butter!

Trevor and I have a ton of errands tomorrow. One of them is picking up my camera from the shop! It is done and the repair came in under the estimated cost. YAY!

I am very happy with how well the boys behaved today, minus the part where Trevor did not nap for even a minute. He spent an hour in his crib alone and was quiet so that Brendan could sleep, but he was bouncing, jumping, climbing, and playing. I am so happy he is still in his crib and that this is still an option!

While I tried to put Trevor down, I strapped Brendan in tight to his high chair and put his spy cam on him. He was enjoying playing with his big cats and waited nicely for me.

Brendan took a good nap, they were crazies all morning so I expected them both to sleep well! Brendan had some wireless time again, so it was the perfect time to get out the tunnel! Watch for Brendan’s “hands free” cool trick.

Trevor played nicely with some trains as long as I could keep Brendan from charging him.

Trevor got this book at Sam’s Club today. He LOVES it and so does Brendan. It has these little plastic popper buttons in all of the pages. You have to count the farm animals and click the little poppers on each animal. All combined, he probably spent 2hrs today popping the poppers. Genius idea!!

Brendan isn’t watching football, he is telling me how a rocket goes UP UP UP.

I wish that when I said we had a busy weekend ahead that I meant that it was packed with fun. 🙂
It started out with Bill running to Home Depot this morning at 6am and renting a power rake to prep the lawns for the winter grass. He mowed and dethatched all morning. (Still was 103 today!)

The boys actually had a good morning, but they were up to something.

When they put their heads together, that is when we will have the biggest trouble!!

Their secret mission begins

I got them to forget about their mission by playing a video of a garbage truck. You can find anything on the web these days! Trevor is helping Brendan study so he is ready for Tuesday.

Trevor discovered the ball popper on his behind the gate adventure. Put up a toy for a while and it is like new again.

It is also highly desirable

I have realized that I use the phrase “There you go” with Trevor quite frequently. He now says it too. He was putting coins in his bank and he says “Theyygo, pig”. I took Trevor this afternoon to a Beads of Courage event hoping to take some cool pictures. The flyers failed to mention that the whole thing was OUTSIDE (I mentioned the 103 degrees already!). It was too hot to stay long or stand and take pictures of people making beads with hot torches. Trevor picked up a cool handmade bead and we left fairly quickly.

Tomorrow will be busy too, but we have no outings planned. Bill has a work-related lunch to attend. I hope the boys nap well!!
