A visit to the doctors

The boys had their well check ups this week with Dr. Emm. Colin's 4 year (a little late!) and Cade's 15 month...hard to believe they are that old already! Everything was good with both boys. Cade was over his strep, thank goodness!

My mom came with us, hence the many pics below! She always has her camera with her. I am not sure what the nurses and doctor thought of us snapping pics right and left! :) Colin weighed in at 47 pounds and Cade was 27 pounds. Both were in the 90% and above. Let's just say I have a very strong left arm muscle from carrying them around! :)

We were in the office for about an hour and a half...long time to wait with 2 little ones. Luckily, the office had lots of fun things for them to do while we waited in the room.

The not so fun part came after the checkup from Dr. Emm...both boys needed shots! Colin got 4 in his arms and Cade got 3 one in each leg and one in the arm. It was a sight to see...I am holding Colin while he is screaming, one nurse quickly giving him shots and my mom holding Cade (screaming also) down while another nurse quickly gave him his shots. All of this is happening at the same time, on the same table! The nurses then let the boys choose from the treasure chest...Colin got an ice cream cone that you can hit a button and it flies off the cone, and Cade got a beanie baby teddy bear. At least when we left, they were happy!

Plastic storage tubs

We have a house full of toys...and what do the boys play with??? Yep, you guessed it...plastic storage tubs. Are you kidding me? Why do we have toys?? Below you will find some uses for plastic storage tubs that my boys have "found".

They can be trains, cars, trucks, etc. They can be hats, beds, or tents. They can be book storage tubs, baby storage tubs, or "get away from me" tubs.

But best of all...they can be play with my brother tubs!

Oreos and milk

I am at home today with Cade. Poor little guy has strep. The doctor was surprised his test came back positive because it is very unusual that kids under 2 get strep. So far, Colin doesn't have it and he is doing fine. He went to the sitter today and got to go outside! It is finally nice enough here that we can do that...although, it is supposed to get cold again by the end of the week!

Here is Cade eating an Oreo. I was changing his diaper, a nasty one, and wanted him to stay still while I cleaned him up (that is a hard task for him to stay still!) I grabbed the first thing I could grab and it happened to be an Oreo. That definitely made him stay still. He just kept looking at me like "are you really giving me this?" I then put him in his chair to finish it up and he loved it! Had to finish up dessert with some milk of course!
