Friday we did indeed go out to dinner. TGI Friday's. In the car on the way there, Easton stuck his finger in Dalton's mouth. So Dalton bit him. Hard. And later Easton decided to pay him back. Grrr. I wish I could separate them sometimes. It reminded me of this YouTube that AJ forwarded me awhile ago:
Easton thought that was a hilarious video when we saw it but did not find it funny when I asked him if "Charlie" bit him.
Dinner was fine, there was a balloon animal guy working his way around the tables but Easton decided to pull his dentist/turtle move and wouldn't even talk to the guy. So he didn't get a balloon which he was actually just fine with. But Dalton got a blue puppy. He unwound it all at the table and then popped it on the way home. Good times.
Saturday I did some shopping by myself in the morning which was quite nice, then ran home to nurse Dalton and put him down for a nap then I went back out briefly to the post office. All kid-less. Which can be quite nice. Sure did get a lot more done in a shorter amount of time!
That afternoon we went to a nearby park to play and we met a family who recommended the exact same preschool the lady from Wal-Mart recommended the other day! How crazy is that? So we're going to check it out later this week, actually. At the park, the kid we met was riding a bike. So we were determined to try again with Easton and his tricycle. After dinner we went for a stroll and dare I say it, but I think he may finally be getting the hang of pedaling!
On Sunday Jason tried out another church, but after just the worship part of the service he knew it wasn't a fit for us, so he left. And we finally got our free bagels with that coupon! While he was gone I weeded out clothes that no longer fit from the boys' closets. I unpacked some a few other things that might fit now, including some shoes for my new walker. I put them on him and helped him to walk and it was hilarious. He was taking gigantic steps--like a dog would if you put shoes on it. They'll definitely take some getting used to once we're ready:
Jason came home and did a little work in the yard, Easton and I played blanket games:
Showing off his new 3T stegosaurus jammies that he loves:
The boys and I were in p.j.'s most of the day.
While I was getting dinner ready, the guys all hung out in Easton's room with the K'Nex. Jason made Easton a deal that if he could make one of the "creatures" from a picture, all by himself, then we'd go out for ice cream...it really wasn't as pressured as it sounds, we were merely encouraging him to try something by himself. Well...
He did it!
See it in the picture...sort of.
So, it wasn't exact, but all the pieces were right. Woo hoo! Go, E!
Dalton was happy too:
So, to Cold Stone we went. Easton got his own strawberry ice cream with sprinkles:
I got what Jason called the "AJ Special" because it was chocolate and peanut butter and I had that at their house. My healthy husband and baby boy shared some raspberry sorbet with strawberries:
This morning we woke to a little snow on the ground...not fun because we have to park on the driveway since our garage door broke yesterday. Boo. Jason had to manually lift the heavy door and hold it while I got the cars out. But we still went on our usual Monday doughnut run and after breakfast Easton was chomping at the bit to go play outside:
There was not much snow so mostly he just got muddy. But he had fun till he got too cold, I guess. Or bored.
The boys are doing their quiet time and I s'pose we should head out for groceries later but I have no clue what's on the menu this week. Must figure that out. But first, a few mealtime movies from sometime recently. :)
Toodles!

I've been wondering how the church hunting was going-glad you updated on that!
And I adore that Charlie video, I first saw it on Jessica's blog a while back and it had me in hysterics, I still watch it just to force a laugh!
Those Diddle videos are TOO CUTE! I just can't believe the wee laddie is walking and talking these days!
Hope the preschool tour goes well!
And I'm SO proud of Eastie for building that K'Nex! Wow! Impressive!
KayTar is just starting to get the pedaling thing, too. Steering IS a totally separate matter. LOL.
The D videos are too cute! Grace also loves to say "baby". Actually that was her first word, after mama and dada.
Good luck with the preschool. Finding the right one (in our case daycare) can be quite the chore, but referals always are the best.
That is great E is getting the hang of pedaling!
And snow, wow!
Amy
I swear, both your boys take the CUTEST pictures!
Dizzle's videos are just so funny. He really cracks himself up, doesn't he? :)
I was SO impressed with the K'nex. I actually had to have Matt come look because I could hardly believe it.
And Cold Stone...YUM! We just got one of those and have yet to go. I think that sounds like an excellent outing this week while we have daddy home!
I'm glad I could share the deliciousness of chocolate and PB!
