Socks & Sweaters


I love my little helper Ryan. Or I should rephrase that - I love my big helper Ryan.
He is growing up so fast. I just want time to slow down. He is such a good helper, and a great big brother. He is always teaching his little brother how things work in the world. I love it! He got straight "4's" on his report card, and we are so proud! (grades go from 1-4, 4 being the best).
His favorite after school snack is homemade frosting and graham crackers. This time he wanted to make the frosting all by himself, and I let him. I showed him how the measuring cups/spoons worked and he made it all by himself. He loves to help me in the kitchen!


Ethan has been having asthma issues for about a month now, coughing, weezing, etc. This last Monday night it got pretty bad and he could not say a full sentence without getting winded and hacking. So we took him to instacare. He is such a good boy! We were there for 3 hours and he was so good the whole time. Here he is with the nebulizer. He is now on steroids to help him get better. Poor guy!


When I wake up in the morning, the first thing I do is go to my sock drawer (because you all know how much I love socks) and put on a new pair of socks. Here is Ethan thinking he needed to be just like mom.

I can't wait for Spring! But here are two things I am going to miss during the hot months ahead:

I heart graham crackers with homemade frosting, too!

We're twins, Kel! I am SO a sock girl, especially cool funky socks like Ethan's wearing. lol

And finally, there aren't any more free zoo days this winter since the weather is warming up. However, when we get a zoo pass soon, I'll call you and you can join us for free on our pass! I miss you, girl! It would be so fun to hang out. :)

We love graham crackers with frosting!! It is funny too because when I have told other people about it they act like we are weird!! Those people are missing out:)

Maybe Ryan should have made me some graham crackers and frosting while he was here. Dang it! I am just the opposite. I hate socks and I for sure dislike sweaters. How are we from the same family???

I just had graham crackers and frosting two days ago for the first time in years. Love it! Your boys are too cute, and definitely growing up! Hope Ethan's asthma gets better soon. :(

We love graham crackers and frosting. I grew up eating that as an after school snack as well.

I do love socks and sweaters, but I have to admit that I also love flip flops and shorts so bring on the warm weather (well actually we really have been having nice weather down this way, but still too cold for me to be wearing shorts and flip flops because I am a wimp). :)

I'm with ya! I love to grab socks every morning and throw on a sweatshirt for the day. Hope spring comes soon so we can all get our kids better!
