It's hard to say exactly what we've been up to since Easter. Just life I guess. I went to a shower for my cousin Alisha and her little boy. Craig and I did some yard work. Finally. We finally finished the pathway in our front yard. I'm really pleased with our front yard right now.

This is our pear tree with all it's blossoms. Our apricot tree never got very many blossoms because we didn't prune it soon enough, so I was happy to see some blossoms on our tree.

The boys and I have been up some fun things. We have made pictures out of shapes. We made bird feeders with apples, peanut butter and bird seed and we planted some seeds. We planted flowers and pumpkins. I was happy to see that our pumpkins had started to grow. They are growing fast too. It looks like we may be able to have a Pumpkin Party after all. If we can get them in the ground in time.

The boys have been up to their usual cuteness.

Big H is such a good brother. When he has a cookie, drink or snack, and Little H wants some, he happily just shares. Little H fell off the chair the other day and Big H pushed me out of the way and said, "Let me see my Hynerum." He helped him up and then gave him a hug.

He's also good to his mom. He sweetly brought me an Oreo cookie the last two morning. He loves to bring me flowers. And the other day when I sneezed he brought me some tissue.

Big H just loves his dad. He gets so excited when Craig comes home. And always asks for him when he's at work. He loves seeing his Daddy.

Big H has a bit of a sassy side. In nursery he wouldn't sit up and I kept trying to get him to. He finally turned to me and said, "I'm Tired!"

The other day Big H came into the kitchen, saw that Little H was dressed and said, "Oh! I want to get dressed."

 Big H has been continuing to poop his pants. He also went through a bad rut of bed wetting and peeing his pants. We were getting a little frustrated, so we told him that when he had an accident Little H got to pick the movie at nap and bed time-- movies are a big deal to Big H. One nap time he got up to use the potty, but didn't make it in time and peed on the floor. He took of his pants and got clean underwear and climbed back in bed. We told him he could pick the movie, since he had tried but just didn't make it. He replied, "I no pick. I peed my pants"

The other day he spilled punch on his clothes. We changed them and he asked for a diaper. He sometimes wants diapers to poop in so I strapped one on. He, of course, had to put on his batman cape. And his cowboy boots completed the ensemble. Craig mentioned the need for a picture. When I grabbed the camera he informed me that he was Super Harold.

Little H is now asking to use the toilet every now and then. I think he mostly wants a treat. One time he asked for a treat and I told him only if he went pee on the potty. He sat on that toilet for over an hour. Big H peed his pants because no toilet was free. Little H still produced no pee. I gave him a treat for his dedication, and his poor little red bum.

Little H has decided he gets to pick out his clothes now. Every morning, when I walk over to get their clothes for the day, he's right there saying, "I want to pick out shirt." If he is left out of the choosing process, and does not approve of my choice, there is no convincing him to change his mind. He's very particular.

After we planted the flowers and pumpkins I asked, "Do you think our flowers will grow, boys?" Little H replied, "No I don't want to grow boys."

Little H still likes to pretend to be a kitty. The other day I had to refer to him as a kitty and not Little H or else he wouldn't respond. Big H would get upset and say, "He's not a Kitty. He's Hynerum."

Baby M needs a story too:
He is a super social baby. He takes off independently in stores and buildings, and doesn't give us a second thought. The other day he flirted with a couple at Costco. He waved and talked. Next thing I knew he was climbing up to their table, ready to join them for lunch.

He also had fun flirting with some girls when we stopped to get ice cream the other night.

He likes to show off and play up the cuteness when he's around people. He has a cute wave, and says, "Hi-ya!" He waves to us each night at bed time. Lets just say he knows how to be cute.

Also, Baby M has given into the Thomas obsession. He LOVES Thomas and dances and claps when it comes on.

The last of the things that we have been up to is the baby shower we had tonight. I was so excited to host this shower for my friend. She has 3 boys like me, and is now expecting her first girl. We have just really enjoyed her, and her family, and I was just so excited to help her celebrate this moment.

I don't feel like a did much. She had it at her house, so I didn't have to clean. She practically delivered all the invites. All I had to do was make invites and bring the food.

I was kind of sad that I couldn't get really into it, do to lack of funds, so my mom took me shopping and we bought some fun decor and a diaper cake kit. Diaper cakes are surprisingly easy to make. Now that I know the secrets I may have to make some more. I like this kit because it doubles as a headband, hair clips and tutu for the baby.

Me doing food meant homemade Cafe Rio, Oreo truffles and a fruit tray. I may enjoy making these a little too much. There just so nice, easy and fun. They add such a nice touch.

Other than that there's just work. Craig is picking up some stuff at a temp agency. I quit my job and I am hoping to maybe get some baby sitting jobs. Things seem to be falling into place pretty well right now. We hope things continue to go well.
