Stuff and Nonsense

Stuff and Nonsense are two little mice in the book Grandma
and Grandpa got Michael at Ollie's this week. 
Michael loves this book because it is a pop-up (and touch-and-feel) book.
Now for some "stuff and nonsense" from our week! 
These are camera shots - we still don't have a working camera...

My first time making blueberry pancakes - yum!

Christopher's post-nap mohawk.

Michael made a bed and tucked in Bessy, Buzz, and Rex.

Crock Pot lasagna...turned out pretty good! 
The kids ate it up!
I haven't even gotten a call that the parts are in for our stove,
so I imagine it will be at least another week with no oven!!!

 
Enjoying an evening outside - bubbles!

I felt good enough to clean up our post-storm mess Tuesday night!
Bring on my 2nd trimester please!!!!!!
(12.5 weeks right now)

Taking a cute shot for Daddy :) 
Yes, the van is 'wearing a HAT'!

Michael practiced writing his name a few times...

The boys love to play dress-up all on their own!
I think it's adorable!

Christopher napping - I found him with Mr. Grumpy Pants.

4th of July was kind of a lonely bummer this year....
but I pulled out some new/special plates the boys loved!

We also made a fun dessert!
Michael had more fun doing blueberries
and looking at it than eating it.

The boys showered just in time for us to catch 2 different neighbors doing a few fun fireworks.  Michael doesn't like the loud ones!  Both boys were covering their ears!  It made a lonely July 4th a little better though.  We tucked Christopher in and I let Michael watch the Macy's and Boston Pops fireworks with me (late, I know...). 
Michael loved it!  I loved it too!

I am already excited about July 4th, 2013 - hopefully living in Boiling Springs, celebrating with a complete family, and cuddling our new bundle of joy.

That sounds like fun. I understand the lonely, but you are doing great keeping fun activities and projects for the boys so they don't miss Daddy so much. I love the cake! And Michael is doing really well writing his name!

Thanks! He learned most of that at school so I can't take all the credit....
