It must have been a long night...

I don't know what time Colin got home, but this is what we saw the next day.

Spring is here!

There is about a two week period in the spring when both trees are blooming. One is purple and the other is white. I just love it. Here is are some pictures.

Kevin's Request

Out of no where, after talking about best friends, Kevin made a request.

K3: "I want another baby in your belly."
Us: "What!?"
K3: "I want it to be a girl. I want a baby sister."

No news from us. Just a strange conversation.

Meet the newest member of our family! UPDATED

We are going to use the blog to keep you updated on our new family member. For now, she is still growing, but soon enough she will be here!

We have a caterpillar! The boys found her tonight and we took her home. Her name is Jane. (Kevin wanted to name her Kevin, but I told him we have enough of those already. So he said "We will call her Jane. We don't have enough of those yet.")

As of now, she is getting used to her home in a jar. We did pick grass, leaves and sticks up to make her as comfortable as possible.

Pictures may come soon.

UPDATE: J2 is no longer living with us. She is an Eastern Kentucky caterpillar, more commonly known as a tent worm. She is a pest. (As my husband would surely add, "Just like J1.")

Dinner With Friends

We had friends over for dinner the other night. Tina and Kyle came over. I work with Tina and Kyle is in Kevin's class at school. The boys all get along so well together, so I took some pictures of them playing. Most pictures were good, but there was one I took right after Colin fell and right before Kevin fell on top of him. It looks like Kevin is kicking him in the stomach. I had to post it.

Here they are:

Zoo Trip

For those who don't already know, the zoo is Colin's favorite place. He mentions it every single day. (What do you want for breakfast? Zoo! What did you do at school today? Zoo!) So with the weather being so wonderful last weekend, we headed to the zoo. (You would think he would flip out from being so excited, but he acts really cool about it. It is almost disappointing he little excitement he actually has when we finally take him.) Kevin gets much more excited. We always eat lunch there and ride the train. Kevin's big thing now is getting a corn dog on stick.

Here are some pictures from our day.

Funny Things Said

Last night Kevin and I were talking about a birthday party we were attending the next day. We were talking about the cake and pizza we were going to eat. Then he asked if there would be anything to drink. I told him there would be juice.

Then he added, "I hope it isn't disgusting stuff. Yeah, like raccoon pee."

What?!? How does he come up with this?

Kevin Says The Strangest Things

We were driving to the doctor today. It was just Kevin and me in the car. Suddenly he yelled "Get out you old goose!" (We have been reading Sam And The Firefly, in which the firefly calls the owl an old goose.)

Surprised, I say "That came out of no where!"

Kevin says "No. It came out of me."
