No glittering.

Connor was upset because while at a red light he saw an empty coffee cup about to go into the sewer drain. We explained that it isn't nice to litter.

"Yeah, some people shouldn't glitter. " :)

All people and it is "litter", but I know his Nana would agree with his statement completely. :)

Sick-o, cute pics anyway

Connor threw up Friday morning at 4:00 am. He was in the bathroom already and it only happened one time, but he has been laying low.

After he felt "so much better" this morning and actually wanted to eat/drink something, I gave him some chocolate almond milk.

An hour later, I found him on the floor of the living room and he didn't look so hot. I offered to carry him (all 44 lbs of him) to our bed. He agreed. Within 10 seconds of putting him in our bed, he threw up the chocolate milk without any warning whatsoever. He started throwing up again, but I already had him in my arms like a baby headed for the toilet. I consider it a huge success that only 2 drops got on the carpet! Most of it got on me and him. Poor buddy. He felt a lot better once he finished and wanted to take a bath. I'm sorry, I know it is gross, but I had to take his poor picture with chocolate milk all over him...and in the toilet too. That was all he had to "eat" in over 24 hours, so it looked exactly the same coming up as it did going down...still gross, but whatever.
He felt a little better later in the day and Declan was just playing on the floor and playing with his snowman blanket, so I got out the camera.

Poor Connor-man looks sick in the pictures, but they are still cute and worth sharing.

Double JJ Resort Weekend

We had a lot of family fun this passed St. Patrick's Day weekend at the Double JJ Resort in Rothbury, Michigan. I honestly was more than a little skeptical of this Groupon purchase and tried to keep my expectations low. We had a wonderful time and it was a great place to go as a family!

The boys have matching suits but you can't really tell. 

both boys LOVED the hotel room...and having us all together in the same place.

day 2 at the waterpark while Brian kept Declan. This is when Connor whispered in my ear, "I love our little family."

check out those rolls!

Declan is delighted by Connor and finds him hysterical!

coloring in Sally's craft room.

schedule of events for Saturday. We did most of them.

Brian and Connor coming out of one of the big slides!

a little roping lesson :)

Declan and I took a little snooze while the "big boys" were in the waterpark.

Waiting to get his face painted at Sally's.

painted face AND a balloon sword!

Family bingo. Connor won laser tag, the duck race AND bingo!

Brian won blackout bingo and Connor picked out a frisbee for his winnings.

A little line dancing. :)

Declan's favorite time...in the room.

A "Wanted" Family. 

Waiting in the freezing cold for a pony ride.

Connor said this looked like an apple core.

Connor and an Eeyore look-alike! 

After freezing for half an hour, this is the closest we could get Connor to the pony.

Bumbo Bath

I am way behind on pictures, but here are a few from tonight. Declan LOVES his bath, but he can't sit well enough and he is definitely too big for his bath chair/sling thingy. We normally just bathe him on the floor of the tub, but I thought he would like to sit up and take a bath in our big tub.

FYI, Bumbo's float....even with a kid in them. I was glad Connor was in the tub with him and definitely didn't take my eye off him for a second!
