Apparently when you go to McDonalds and you tell them the happy meals are for boys, they give you barbies. That is what happened when I took the boys there for dinner tonight. The funny thing is, all three of my boys were excited to have the doll. Alex even asked if I had a barbie brush he could use to brush the doll's hair.

Makin' Lunch
3/6/11
When I got out of the shower today I found Jake making lunch for him and Spencer. He got the hot dogs out of the fridge and cooked them in the microwave. He even cut up Spencer's hot dog. I thought this was very nice of him. Maybe Jake is trying to make up for taking the lamp in my front room apart and rearranging the furniture, which he did earlier today.

More "Beers" Please
3/4/11
Spencer decided that he wanted some rootbeer, which he calls "beers" and figured he would pour himself his own cup. He got the rootbeer out of the fridge and climbed on the counter to get a cup. He put the cup on the shelf in the cabinet and proceded to pour the rootbeer into it. Rootbeer was everywhere, and he managed to get a little in the cup as well. Jake has taught him well.

Poop on the Walls
3/3/11
One thing I have learned from being a mom is that children are disgusting. Jake confimed this by sticking his finger in his poopy diaper. (Oh how I wish he would let me potty train him!!)When he saw the poo on his finger he thought it was gross, which is was, and wiped it on the wall. Then he went and washed his hands. Why couldn't he have just washed his hands in the first place? And why wipe it on the wall? It is never ok to have poo on the wall! That is Jake though. We don't understand a lot of what he does.

Church...Is It Worth It?
2/20/11
We are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Part of being a member is attending weekly church meetings. Three hours every Sunday is a long time, especially with little kids. Lately I have been pondering if it is really worth the torture every week. For us, it is like being at the circus. We chase our kids all over, they cry, scream, throw things. I don't get to hear anything that is being said and often end up in tears myself, but we are trying. Today Matt asked Jake what he learned in church. Jake's response was "Santa." I was pretty sure we learned about Jesus, but I guess Jake is getting something different from his lessons. So, is it worth it? I hope one day it will be. For now, we will just keep trying.....

7 Years Old
Time has flown by! My little boy is 7! I guess that makes him not so little. He still loves legos and transformers and is such a smart kid. It really doesn't seem like he was born that long ago. He is a good boy and I think he can do great things if he puts his mind to it. I love him so much!
Silly Spencer
Updating my blog is not something I am good at. I realize how far behind I am, but I am adding a couple funny things Spencer did from February 2, 2011.
Last night I went to check on Spencer before going to bed myself and found him curled up in his bed completely naked! I didn't think he knew how to undress himself yet because he hadn't done it before, but like so many times before, I was wrong. He got upset at me for moving him and getting him dressed while Matt changed the sheets. I felt bad moving him, but it would not have been a good idea to leave him there all night.

In our house, and really, anyone who has little kids or animals knows this, we have to make sure the bathroom door is shut. Well, someone left is open and Spencer got in. No, that is not toilet paper in there either. I think Spencer thought he would do some laundry and put Matt's dress shirt in the toilet. When I found him he was getting ready to put another shirt in. Good thing he didn't try flushing!
