2 months

Wow! How did I let 2 months go by without blogging? There is a lot to catch up on!

After Christmas the boys did a lot of playing with their new costumes. They still play dress-up almost everyday, either firemen, pirates, knights, cowboys or super heroes.
Christmas break was snowy so the boys did dome sledding with Poppi and even helped him shovel the sidewalk.
Right before Christmas break to came an end , I took the boys to the WOW museum. They had so much fun! They played pirates, legos, cars and, of course, dress up.
In the middle of January Izee got rid of his binky! The Binky Fairy came and brought him a baby doll. He never asked for his Binkies after they were taken. He just told us, "No mo' binky. I big now."
We also visited the National Western Stock Show in January. The boys insisted in going dressed like cowboys. They fit right in. :)
At the end of January I quit my job. Yes, I'm a stay-at-home mom again. The kids are loving having me around more!

The first 2 weeks of being a SAHM I also watched 2 other little boys. 4 boys is kind of crazy but fun. I'm not sure I could do it full-time but it was fun for 2 weeks.
Things have settled down a bit now that is is just me and my 2 boys. Izee and I go shopping or somewhere to play while brother is in preschool in the mornings.
A couple weeks ago the boys had their first sleep over together. It was so cute! They got to have popcorn and watch movies in Kae's room. They finally went to sleep about 10pm.
We had a great Valentine's Day! Andrew and I celebrated the Friday before when Kae was at Parent's Night Out at preschool and Izee was with my parents. We actually got to see a movie in a theater. Aren't we hot in our 3-D glasses?
On actual Valentine's Day we had Family Fondue Night. (Of course I dressed the boys in their adorable matching sweaters for the holiday.)
Today was a sick day. Izee had a tummy bug last night so today he has been taking it easy and watching movies while I blog. This morning he requested a bath. (After a tummy bug I totally want the same thing.) He lined his toys up in a parade on the side of the tub. It was so cute!
Whew! That was a lot of stuff! I think you are caught up on the Howell Happenings. I'll try not to wait another 2 months before blogging again.
