Empty box?

I was going through the hand me down clothes that Carrie had given the boys. I was pulling out all of the 3T winter clothes. I had brought up 3 boxes of mixed 3T and 4T clothes. I had gone through them awhile ago, but they were still mixed up between the different sizes and different seasons. As I emptied the boxes, the boys really enjoyed playing with them.

Check this out to see what is going on.

Playing in the driveway

Today Andy Chitko (Shawn's friend from grade school) was in town from California so we went out to lunch with him. The boys really enjoyed going out for lunch. We just went to iHop. then we came back home and the boys played outside since it was such beautiful weather. The boys just loved riding the bikes down the hill of our driveway and then walking their bikes back up the driveway. Needless to say, they took really good naps after that. Here is some video of them playing.

Playdate

Tonight the boys and I went and visited with Nora and her kids. It has been a long time since we got the kids all together to play. I think it was summer when she came over here last, so we finally set a date for all the kids to get together. The boys were very good playing with Nora's kids. Nora has twin boys who are just over 2 and a daughter who is 4. We went over there for pizza and play. Fun was had by all. Sorry, I forgot my camera so I didn't get any pictures.

New car seats

The boys have upgraded to the last car seat. They are now in boosters. My little boys are growing up. They look so small though in the car with their new car seats. Here they are sitting in them in the house just after I put them together.

Shopping cart 1, Isaac 0

Last night I took the boys to Walmart so that I could pick up a prescription I needed. Everything was going fine. I had Isaac in the big part of the shopping cart and Brady was standing behind it helping "push" the cart. We were standing in line waiting to pick up my prescription. Isaac was standing in the cart, but was behaving himself pretty well. I looked away for a second, and then looked back to find Isaac falling face first out of the cart. Needless to say, it scared the crap out of me. He started crying almost immediately. I tried calming him down and looked him over. At first I couldn't see anything, but then after a few seconds, I saw blood starting to form in his mouth. I then started to look to see if any of his teeth were loose or determine what it was that was bleeding. He was crying so hard and I couldn't get him to calm down, so I took both boys to the front of the store by the clinic so that I could at least get the boys to sit down and I could take a closer look at Isaac. I couldn't really see anything seriously wrong, but he was just looking worse by the second. Brady was very good this entire time. He just stood by me or sat on the chair the entire time. I ended up taking Isaac to the emergency room just to be on the safe side. On the car ride over, he had calmed down and by the time we got to the ER he was almost to his normal self, which was a good sign. I just wanted to make sure he was alright. That kid is a tough kid, because he was just fine. He had a fat lip and I bruised his nose, but other than that was fine.

Potty training update

Sorry, it has been awhile since I've posted. Its been busy around here. The potty training had been going fairly well, until recently. Now Isaac doesn't seem to interested in it at all. He will maybe go once a day, if we are lucky. The last few days he hasn't even gone in the potty at all, but he did go in the tub after his bath when I told him to go.
