We definitely got our practice in for our boy this past week. We watched Linda and Wade's boys while they spent the week in Acapulco, Mexico. We had many fun events and activities throughout the week. We started out cutting their hair Saturday morning and getting things ready for Sunday. Sunday Erik wanted to make cookies but much to his surprise he had more than enough helpers to get the job done. Fortunately we were able to distract them with some goop (cornstarch and water) while the cookies were being made. We also experimented with mixing colors to make the goop even more fun.
As the week went on I kept the kids on their daily schedule; helping Spencer off to school, practicing letters with Kaleb and making sure Brycen was happy. But not every morning was as smooth as others. One morning I decided to make German pancakes and while transferring the eggs from the fridge to the counter I dropped four of them on the floor. Let’s not forget to mention on that same morning Spencer's bus drove right past him as he was waiting to be picked up. 
The kids had fun playing in the snow, jumping on the trampoline, and wrestling with Erik. Friday night Kirsten came over to babysit so we could go out on a date. We saw National Treasure and stopped for some Cheesecake at The Cheesecake Factory. Yummy!!! Saturday we took the kids to Home Depot where they got an apron and built a football stool. While Brycen was napping Spencer and Kaleb had fun painting their stools. (You can't really tell they had a blast from their pictures; but they did)
The kids were very excited to see their parents when they woke up this morning. Erik and I had a great time but are grateful they don't all come at once. We are still excited about parenthood and look forward to the precious moments children bring.
Thank you Spencer, Kaleb and Brycen for a fun week!
