Lately….

Not much happening this week. Finally back in our school groove after spring break. Jonathan had a tough week adjusting to that. LOL. Friday was, apparently, quite rough. He was sad on and off all day at school.

There was some excitement on Thursday when my parents got their puppy! It's a little poodle and the boys love it, but the biggest surprise was that SIMON loved it. And the puppy loved him back! It was a match made in heaven.  ;) We think it's the hair similarity. HA!

Friday was Tom's birthday. He came home from work a little early and we went out to a chinese place we hadn't been to in years. Jonathan, for whatever reason, was ALL out of sorts though and acted like a Nanny 911 child in the restaurant, so I ended up having to take him out to the car and sit with him in timeout while everyone finished eating. Not sure what gets into him sometimes. When we got home, he was himself again and ate his dinner happily and played outside.

Tom's big present this year was a trip to Philadelphia next weekend for just us! My parents are going to watch the boys for us and we are heading up Saturday morning and coming back Sunday late afternoon. He was pretty excited. It's literally the first time we will have left the kids overnight and gone somewhere (other than to the hospital to have another baby… LOL!)

Yesterday we had dinner at his parents' house. The boys had fun playing golf with Pap in the backyard all evening! Only got one photo, but it's a good one because it's of Ben, who is my hardest kid to get decadent photos of.

Today we are off to our niece's 4th birthday! (Have I mentioned it's family birthday season?)
