WTF?! . . .Fart Gun Version

So, I got shot with a fart gun tonight.  Yep.  A FART GUN.

Oh, What's a fart gun, you ask?

Apparently it is when a buck naked 5 or 3 year old bends over at his waist and puts his head on the floor while using his hands to spread his butt cheeks apart and aim farts at you or his enemy brother while screaming "FART GUN!" and laughing hysterically.

WTF?!  Where do they come up with this stuff and what on Earth am I in for?

Math whiz

The other night at dinner I asked Bo how many chicken nuggets I cooked if I made 6, 6 & 4. He thought for about 5 seconds and answered, "16". I was shocked!

Max is 2!

I can not believe our baby is 2.  It's just crazy to me. He's getting so big.  To celebrate we kept it small and had Grandma & Grandpa over for dinner and cake.  He chose a white cake with chocolate frosting and sprinkles.  It was yummy.
There was some serious spit involved but the candles were eventually blown out.
The big gift of the day was a wagon from Grandma & Grandpa. 


All of the boys loved it.  Bo spent the rest of the day carting Sam and Max around the yard.  I can't believe we didn't own one before.   And check out those off road tires.  Perfect.  Thanks Grandma & Grandpa. 

It is still hard for me to wrap my head around the fact that Max is 2, but here is a little more about him at this awesome age . .

- He is so much fun.  He loves to be the center of attention and has a light around him that makes everyone smile when he walks into the room.  He is definitely the baby of the family but not a push over.  He holds his own. 

-Has a very infectious belly laugh.

-Is extremely possessive of his things.  Puts up a fight if anyone takes his toy, cup, dog, etc

-Loves green beans, soup, popcorn, toast and chicken nuggets.

-Hates to wear shoes.


-Has bad eczema on his feet and hands.

- Is all about "Baby" and likes to take him everywhere.
- Will go pee pee in the potty if naked.  Runs into the bathroom and crawls up onto the toilet all by himself

- Is a binky baby and likes to have a bunch.  "1, 2, 3, 8"

- Usually takes a 1.5 - 2 hour nap around 12:30 and goes to bed in the evenings around 7:30.  He sleeps on 2 crib mattresses next to each other on the floor of his room.

- Favorite response to asking him to do something is, "No way, Man!"

- Is very picky about what he wears every day.  Very opinionated. 

- LOVES the Wiggles and Monkey (Curious George)

- Can walk on his toes like Sam

- And makes me proud everyday to be his momma.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAXY!!  I LOVE YOU.

Helmets! We All Need Helmets!

( I keep going back and forth on the title of this post.  Torn on whether to put it as one of my WTF?! posts or something else because, let me assure you, "WTF" was muttered many a times during all of this.  Many many a times.) 

As if Ethan's injury wasn't enough, Wes' dad fell off the roof 2 days ago (or ladder or something; we probably will never know because he doesn't remember anything) and was knocked unconscious.  Thankfully Marcia was home and called 911.  He was laying on the ground, out, not moving, fingers bent backward.  Not good. 

All he kept talking about was the gutter and the fact that the gutter is bent.  Even the paramedics were getting a bit annoyed.  "Yes, Karl, the gutter IS bent."  (It got bent during the accident and was the first thing he saw when he woke up on the ground)

He was taken by ambulance to FMH where we quickly learned that he, too, like Ethan, had sub-cranial bleeding.  Are you kidding me?!  5 days.  5 DAYS after going through all of this with Ethan, we were right back where we started with Karl.  And like Ethan, he was medivac-ed to Anchorage to see the neurosurgeon. 

Seriously, you can't even make this stuff up. 

But thankfully, his brain contusion was small and did not have any increased pressure so the doctors just wanted to monitor him for 24 hours to make sure the bleeding would not continue.
The funny part about it is that a bunch of our friends were still in Anchorage with Ethan so Karl & Marcia had quite the welcoming party.  It was really nice for Wes and I to know that they were not down there alone but some of the pictures seem like they were having a little too much fun. 

But then again, misery does love company. . .
