Haircuts today...Honey, forgive me!

So our warm weather has finally arrived and Eric
has gotten to the point where he was just sure he would die of heat from his hair! I'm a big fan of short hair on him, but he likes to keep it kind of floppy. Today he said he wanted a buzz cut. So, I took him in.

Before:

After:

He said he felt lighter and he was so excited to be able to feel his scalp!

So we got home and I started thinking about how much easier it would be to take care of Eli if we took the clippers to his hair too. Here's the result
Before: (This pic was a couple of weeks ago, but the just recent post also shows how long and thick his hair was.)

After:

Wow! What a difference? Is it just me or can you actually SEE Eli now? Man he's gorgeous!

The rest are just a few shots of the kids today. Yeah, they're usually all over each other, or all over me!

Eric and I went to drive the Bumper Boats today. It's a bit of a rip off, 7 bucks per person for about 10 minutes, but hey, we had a good time. Then we went inside and each one a game of air hocky, played some dancing game and really blew it at Guitar Hero. After that we did a little shopping and got his hair cut. It was some needed me and him hanging out time. I love you Eric!

Who's saying what?

Oh to be in so much wonder of the world as a two year old! Noah looks at new things every day and loves to say, "Wow! Amazing!" Oh yeah and he calls everything wonderful too!

Since about May or so Eli has been very interested in how old he is. When we ask him, he says, "I freezer old!"
I made the mistake once of giving him 3 of some sort of treat, saying that he got 3 because he's 3 years old. Now, anytime I give him anything he says, "But I freezer old!" Meaning, I MUST give him 3!

A couple of weeks ago we were going to play with the Huismans. Eli knew he would see Greg and he started asking, "Mommy Greggars freezer old too?" "Yes, Eli, Greggars is 3 years old just like you." He thought for a moment and then figured out, "Oh! He same big are me!" I love 3 year old grammer.

Eli has also memorized when his birthday is. When we ask him he says, "My burfday is Febrary!" Since his birthday is on the 5th, I showed him that he could hold up all 5 fingers. Now when we ask him he says, really loudly, "My burfday Febrary fift!" with whole lot of spit and a very proud extended high five-style hand.

Today at the park Noah was having a blast climbing UP the slide. IT was a fairly tall slide and he felt very accomplished. When he would get to the top, he'd hang his head over and look for either me or Eli then say, "What doing?" Then he'd laugh and slide on down. This was repeated a bunch of times.

Some of Noah's phrases lately, "Where are you?" "Oh, there I are!" "I wanna hide" (usually under a blanket or a table, etc.) He'll tell us a whole lot of gibberish that we don't understand, while holding his hands out, palms up, like he's explaining something. Then he says, "K?", very know-it-all like we should know exactly what he's talking about.

"Don't mess with me!"
This is said as he waves his finger at me and gives me a squinted-eye look.

"I wanna like pirate!" As he climbs up and sits on top of the toilet tank. Anyone seen that commercial?

"I wanna like friends!" This means that he wants to hold hands and walk toward whereever it is HE wants to go.

"I wanna sleep mommy." This means that I have to lay down and fall asleep with him.

"I wanna need it." He wants to need just about anything that anyone else has.

This is what I heard from the back of the van tonight. "bacons? (translation: spankins? as in do you need spankins?). Time out! bacons! time out!" Wow, is this how I sound to him?

"Later! Catch the bus!" As he puts on his really cool free IKEA backpack (upside down, mind you) and is heading toward the door. But before getting to the door he had to come back and get his good bye kiss. He just wants to be like daddy and big brother!

"Out!", he screams to me, pointing his finger to get me out of HIS kitchen (which, by the way, he pronounces chichen). Hmmm...where would he get this kind of bossiness?
