the sleep-over!!

The sleep-over went well. The boys had a great time and for the most part they did good. There were no fights, no one was left out and they even went to bed at a good time. So I guess I can not complain! Both neighbor boys were able to stay the night so that made the boys very happy.For dinner we all made our own mini pizzas and root beer floats.

(Dalton, Jakob, Kode, and Bry)
Bry acting silly

Then after dinner they went in the basement to play some games and then watch a movie. And a movie is just not a movie with out 3 bags of popcorn. Anyway, they did good.

so embarrassed. . . . .

On Wednesday I got a call from the school nurse saying that Bry has pink eye and that I need to come and get him right away. (so after I hung up the phone with the nurse I immediately made a phone call to see if I could get him into the doctor. Luckily I was able to get him in) Anyway, so I hurried over to the school to get Bry. When I walked into the nurses office Bry was sitting there. He jumped out of the chair and said "I am feeling great can we just go home." I took a look at him and thought to myself he doesn't look like he has pink eye. (what in the world is the nurse thinking) So we grabbed his backpack and we were on our way.

Well I had already made the doctors appointment so I had to take him. When we got to the doctors office the nurse took a look at Bry and said so what are you here for anyway? I told her that the school nurse said that he has pink eye so we are here to get some meds. She chuckled and said "it dosen't look like pink eye to me but we will let the doctor make the final decision" So when the doctor came in he took a look at his eye and said "I don't think he has pink eye but I will give you some meds just in case. Go ahead and treat him" (I was so embarrassed to be there at the doctors office. It was a total waste of time. So next time when the school nurse calls I am going to use my mother instincts and decide for myself weather the doctor needs to be involved or not) Although I am very glad that he doesn't have pink eye. And as far as those eye drops they are such a pain in the you know what! Bry hates to put them in his eye!

How Sweet!!

So I had to go to work for a little while the other day and I asked the boys if they wanted to go with me! Well Kode just wanted to stay at home and Bry decided that he would go with me so that I was not by myself! So him and I headed over to my work for a while. So I started doing what I needed to do and he decided that he was going to make something out of paper. He told me that it was a surprise for me and that I could not look at it. I didn't think much of it. I did what I had to do and then a little while later we were on our way home. He said he had fun making something out of paper and when we arrived at home he ran into the house very fast (I was busy getting things out of the trunk so I payed no attention to him) So when I went up to my room there was this sign sitting on my bed.

A very special sign made by Bry to Shawn and I! He is so sweet and thoughtful. (the little animals are his from his collection and the letters were cut out on the die-cut machine at work!)

Thanks Bry that was so sweet of you! It was a nice surprise when I went to my room and saw that on my bed. We Love You!!

Do Something 4 Me & I Will Do Something 4 You!!

So last weekend the boys wanted to have a sleep-over at our house but Shawn was working that weekend so he told them that if they did something for him then he would do something for them. (he told them its like you give a little and I will give a little) So Shawn told both boys that they had to go out and pick up dog poop in the back yard and if they both did that then he would let them have 2 friends over for a sleep-over the next weekend he was off of work. So Kode was not for picking up poop. He had a total attitude over it. But Bry was all for it. (which this really surprised me) He said he would be out in the back yard first thing in the morning to get it done!!

So Saturday morning came and Bry was up early and on his way outside. Well Kode was not having any of it. So Bry was outside for a few minutes when he realized it was not much fun by himself and he knew Kode was not going to come out and help him he went to 2 of our neighbor's houses and asked them to come over and help him and they did. The one little boy brought his boom box over and they jammed out while they were taking care of the back yard. (well I do have to say that I am not really sure that Bry helped out much. He is a great talker and an awesome director. He is great at telling the buddies what has to be done and then he chills while they are doing all the work. Anyway, I guess as long as the job is getting done right!!)

Well Kode saw that they were having somewhat of a good time and he decided to get over his attitude and he went out to help them. He decided it would help them all out if he raked it all into a pile then it would get the job done faster!

Bry chatting and shoveling the poop up!
Well here is 3 of the 4 of the boys
.
All in all they did a good job and Shawn was happy! So the sleep-over is on!
(I am not a big fan of sleep-overs but this was a deal between Shawn and the boys)

P.S: This all started cause 2 of the neighbor boys knocked on our door last Friday asking both boys if they wanted to stay the night at one of the neighbors house (but he hadn't asked his mom yet) Kode told the boys no he really wanted to have them sleep at his house. (I said no cause Shawn was working and no friends at our house when dad is working. 3:45 a.m. comes early enough and having the boys up most of the night would not help Shawn get any sleep!) Well a few minutes later both of the neighbor boys knocked on our door and said that the mom said no on staying the night at their house! So that is when Shawn made the deal with both of our boys that if they give a little he will give a little! So anyway the sleep over is on and the boys are so excited!!
