Four??!!

Owen will be four on Monday...four...four?! When did he get so big?!

He's running around here today playing with legos - not the little duplos, he's all about the regular legos. He has a fire station made of legos and he just adores it. He builds houses for the fire fighters to fight fires in and makes them space ships to tour the living/family rooms.

He came into our bed to snuggle last night for the first time in weeks. As crowded as it gets, I loved having him all snuggly and sleepy with us.

It's been a busy couple of weeks. I went on my weekend scrapbooking trip and got 58 pages done in my 2005 album - gulp. I'm so far behind. The kids had fun with Daddy and Grandma & Grandpa L.

Jared had cub scouts and swimming this week. I thought that swimming was done, but we have 2 more weeks. He's getting so good at his freestyle and back strokes - and diving off the diving board! We'll take a break from swimming once this session ends since I told him that he could play soccer and baseball this spring. Those two plus Cub Scouts would put me over the edge.

I need to rent a car for the drive to Hilton Head, but it's so confusing. I think that I can rent one at our hotel in Disney, but I wonder if it's more $$$ to return it to the airport, then. Hmmmmm.... I need to get on that.

Only four more days!

Until our scrapbooking weekend! I can't wait!

But I suppose now it's time to get some pictures printed and organized. I hope to get at least one album finished up (2004....) and another one power layout'ed and well on its way.

I think Jared needs to get his throat looked at. He doesn't have a fever, but he's had this nasty cough for going on 3 weeks now. Poor kid coughs himself awake at night.

Owen is such a little stinker, lately! His favorite phrase is "You're Mean!" - spoken whenever he does not get his way or you look at him slightly sideways.

Tiger Cubs' Dragon Head

Isn't this thing cool?! Paper mache - and the kids painted it last week.

Poor Owen

Poor Oobie has pneumonia. :( I got a call from preschool yesterday and, by the time I got there, he was feverish and in hour 3 of his nap. Poor baby. He's perked up today after a good night's sleep and some Zithromax.

I've been feverishly making Disney plans - I can't WAIT! I think that I'm more excited than the kids are!

It's still freezing cold here - when will spring arrive? Some knucklehead kids decided that it'd be fun to do lawn jobs last night. They got my neighbors across the street pretty good, their next door neighbors, the house down the street, the house on the corner, the HUGE commons area at the middle of th sub, and the commons at the front. What possesses you to do something like that???

Winter Sucks

I'm sick of this bitter cold! Where is Spring?! I know it's only February, but this is ridiculous! If the kids have another snow day, I'll scream!
