Noah's Holiday Concert

20111216 7855

Noah's big Christmas concert was yesterday.  He was still feeling a tad under the weather, but he cried when I suggested he not go to school and pleaded "Mommy my stomach is fine, it's perfect!".  He also said his farts were so hot they actually like melted his poop.  If you really think about it, that's pretty awesome that a 7yr old still had no idea what diarrhea was!  He's not sick very often to be sure.  Anyway, back to the concert!  It was adorable as per usual.  Noah was definitely the most entertaining 2nd grader up there.  By entertaining I mean misbehaving, of course, but the crazy ones make the concerts that much better to watch.

He did a lot of teasing.  He was surrounded by girls, probably to try and keep him chilled out.  Girls are always quick to step up and be a mom to anyone nearby ;)  Well, it almost worked.  Noah did a few pretty amazing poses.  Apparently he learned this "goat head rocker" one from a kid in his class.  I am fine with it.  It was hilarious.  We are proud to be the parents of the crazy kid at the concert.

Noah never could find me up in the stands despite my freakish waving.  I guess I was too far back.  Optimum picture range though.  We were planning to bring him home with us after the concert, but he cued the waterworks again so we gave in and allowed him to stay at school the entire day.  He gets over sickness so quickly!  Meanwhile, Brennan was scaring the mommy-crap out of me for the past few days.  Yesterday and the day before he wouldn't get off the couch, wouldn't eat, and was trying to refuse fluids.  We were persistent with his fluids though and suddenly last night it was like a switch got flipped and he was Brennan again.  This morning he ate and ate, drank a lot of water and juice, and is teasing his brothers again.  We're so relieved he's finally better!  Five days of the stomach flu is a long time for a tiny little boy who is already thin.

Still Happy!! HOORAY!!

We're still going strong with our happiness levels out here. Yesterday was a little bit rough because Tristan was especially whiney, but today was amazing :) We got our grocery shopping done and even managed to have fun doing that! Noah and I were singing Christmas songs already while Tris and Bren laughed at us. Tristan sometimes piped in with a "all the way" when we were singing Jingle Bells. Noah was cracking up when I sang him the Batman version :D After all that excitement the 2 wee ones went down for their naps and Noah and I gave Bosley a bath with his new tea extract shampoo. He looks and smells so wonderful now :) He was in such a good mood after that too! Noah made a concoction of plum leaves, olives, dirt, and paper which he called "olive a cado". While he was doing his own grocery shopping I was taking some macro shots with my new focus point knowledge. I'm very happy. I thought I loved my camera before! Anyway... We also built a littl...

Almost Doesn't Count

We almost ended up with a puppy today. An adorable baby Jack Russell Terrier mix wandered into our yard. He was very sweet, laid back, flea-ridden, dirty, cute, a little broken, good temperament, un-fixed, and very very good with Noah and Emma. I asked the neighbors about him and they showed me where the owner lived. She took him inside and told me how he's driving her crazy because he chews through collars and gets out of the yard (which is because he's a puppy and not an outside breed). She mentioned possibly getting rid of him. Lo and behold he wandered back into our yard not too long after that... interesting. I wanted to adopt him because he was unwanted, but shouldn't have been. He was a very sweet dog. I would have called him Jackie I think :) This brings me to a rant. I know I've posted about the way people around here treat their pets. This is a perfect example. This lady didn't want the puppy anymore so she simply let it go. No collar, no tags...

Project 365: Jan 16 - 20

Tuesday, January 16th - more snow and a cotton candy sunset. It wasn't much, but the ice beneath and timing of the snow itself  meant a snow day for the kids! Now that they're teenagers, that precious time is spent catching up on sleep, which makes working from home pretty easy for me. Wednesday, January 17th - the morning light changes throughout the year as the earth moves around the sun. In winter, it peeks in through my living room window and spotlights the entertainment center in warm light.  Thursday, January 18th - Braved the inch of ice on the ground to attend a legislative reception in Annapolis with my coworkers/friends. We spent the day networking, laughing, and planning to save our little section of the Chesapeake Bay watershed here in Southern Maryland. Friday, January 19th - Jug Bay snow day!!! The weather report called for snow to begin falling as school was supposed to just be getting started, so they announced cl...
