The Tooth Fairy Has Come!

Wow, this is a tough milestone.  Don't old kids loose their teeth?  My child isn't that old is he?  Oh, I will probably be saying this forever. 

Yes, that is what the tooth fairy brought him.  Dad tooth fairy is very generous.  Then when there was a trip to the store (the very same day) to cash in the earnings for a lego set it turned into $20.  Hmm, I think dad just really likes legos.  Basically became a reason to buy a new lego set.

We were talking about the how the tooth fairy system works last night after the tooth fell out.  Luke snickered and said "Ha, that's just mommy and daddy".   Oh boy, no fooling that kid.  Then after that he told me Santa and Easter bunny were just mommy and daddy too.  No, Alex was not the one to tell him this and he does not go to school.  He's just a bit too smart for his own pants.  Alex still goes for the story.

Another funny story about Luke...He has been toilet trained since he was 2 1/2.  He caught on completely in about 2 weeks.  Well, seven months later, he decided that going in underwear is easier or more interesting or something.  So, we back to rewards for keeping pants dry. Anyway, he told our sitter yesterday "You can laugh at me all you want, but I'm still going in my pants."  (Our sitter was not laughing, well maybe after he said that.)  But, seriously where does he get these things from when he doesn't even go to school yet?

 

Warmer Weather = Lots of Time at the Park

Our park visit two Mondays ago. It is always so peaceful at the park on a Monday afternoon. We had the park to ourselves except for some senior citizens getting their after lunch walk in.

This appeared to be a mother and son.  Wondering if this this is what I have in store for my park visits in 50 years.  I will probably still be taking pictures and it will be my 5,000th blog post.  So cute!

Luke's Birthday

Luke's birthday was on a Friday.  Our sitter decorated with streamers and balloons while he was napping and e had a little party with the four of us that evening.  Luke really wanted to go out to dinner for his birthday, just like we did for Alex's birthday.  So, we did and the boys greatly enjoyed their cheeseburgers and fries.  We came to open presents and have cake.

 

Luke's 3rd Birthday Party

Easter 2013

Easter Sunday was a busy day. We woke up to find baskets and eggs. We had a relaxing morning and went to one o'clock mass. Alex and I headed over to Grandpa and Grandma Porters to visit those that were there while Luke was napping and then headed to Grandpa Phibbs with the family for dinner. We came home and were suppose to head to bed, but the weather (and the light) was so nice that pictures and a bonfire was needed. I haven't taken pictures of the kids outside without being all bundled up (my favorite way to photograph them) for awhile. It was a fun way to end the day.
