Sunday morning

We're still living the shut-in lifestyle (no big crowds or MDO/church nursery for Theo) for a few more days. He was put on Prednisone in the hospital and we were told that it decreases his body's immune system for a month afterwards, leaving him more susceptible to infection. We took it easy this morning and spent time reading the Sunday paper (Jack discovered the funny pages and loved looking at them) and letting the kids watch "Dumbo". Theo crawled up in the red chair with Jack and covered up in the warm blanket. Our weather can't make up it's mind!!!

Visiting the Boudreaux's

A few friends and I went to see Bride Wars today and Dave took the boys over to our friend's Jen & Bob's house while I was gone. We ended up staying for dinner, which was great since we rarely get to spend time with their family. The kids all had a blast together......... lots of superheroes and princess action going on! Even Theo got in on it.

Playing around

Bear with me while I figure this camera out! We took the boys for ice cream and then to the park. It's fun to take pictures with no annoying delay now.

Upgrade!

I took Jack out this morning and got some new Mardi Gras decorations. Dave and I spent literally a whole week throwing stuff away and organizing our house! Now I have room to fill it back up with stuff :) Anyway, we got a Canon XSi camera yesterday and it's going to be my goal to figure it out. Here are a couple of pics that I snapped of our new decorations.

King cake

Jack had his first king cake of the season tonight after dinner! He may have had a bite or two in years past, but this is the first time that I made a big production of letting him have a whole piece of his own.

And here is Theo "driving" the Wii game while Jack took a break to eat!

Brotherly love

Jack has reached a stage with Theo lately where he actually professes love for his baby brother and enjoys his company. The turning point for him was one day in the car when Theo passed a toy to Jack. Jack exclaimed "Theo shares now!!!" and went on to say "He's a good baby now". We do refer to Theo as "bad baby pie" on occasion (referenced from the movie "Waitress"). Here the brothers are before bed in their pjs. Theo just got these pjs from Gigi for Christmas and they don't fit anymore. Hence the highwaters.

Fur cap

Jack inherited his father's head of hair........ very coarse and thick. I call it his fur cap because it does look like a coon skin cap or something when it gets long. I took Jack to get a trim today and I couldn't get over how much my little boy has grown up this past year. We used to have to hold him down, almost hog-tied, to trim his hair and now here he was sitting in the chair by himself, with the drape on, being still and cooperating! The stylist really did a great job and trimmed his hair for over 15 minutes. Now I can easily spike the front. What a difference a year makes.
