Putting on his uniform for the last time. Its kind of weird to think he will NEVER wear that uniform again (knock on wood!)

Why Isn't There A Comedy Troupe of Three Year Olds?
The boys have said some really funny stuff lately and I've been meaning to blog it. Luckily tonight I was already at the computer when Max and I had this conversation...
Max: Mommy, Bugsy has a candy wrapper in his mouth!
Me: OK, I'll get it in a minute (I was very busy playing Jewel Quest).
Max: But Mom, you have to get it now! Why are you still playing your game?
Me: ugh...because...
Max: Mom? Are you going to kill Bugsy?
Me: What? No? (And no longer playing my game) What are you talking about?
Max: Are you going to kill Bugsy because he ate my candy?
Me: No.
Max: Oh. But I don't like Bugsy. He stinks. Parts of him are black and they look like poop.
I would like to defend Max by saying it is bedtime and he is very tired tonight. But where on earth did this come from???
Here are some more things the boys have said...
Last night we had dinner at the Mellow Mushroom before Ed left for Maryland. While we were there, Max took a sip of his Sprite and made a kissy face and turned to Ed. Ed gave him a kiss but Max still had a kissy face. He wanted to give Ed "Sprite Mouth to Mouth" I guess. Where do they get this stuff???
Another Max moment...Nolen had a fever and threw up on Thursday night. I panicked. I have bad memories of the boys being 6 months and 21 months old and BOTH having the pukies right after Ed left for Iraq. They had no way to tell me WHEN they were going to puke and no control over WHERE! It was rough! Anyway, when Nolen threw up I had flashbacks and as I was furiously trying to clean it up and washing my hands every 2 minutes, Max kept following me everywhere. I was getting frustrated because I didn't want Max to be exposed to whatever his brother had (although its a tough transition for boys that very often use the same toothbrush because I don't want to hear them argue over whose is whose). We tried to explain to Max that Nolen had germs. Then Max didn't want Nolen to touch him because he didn't want the germs. So we explained that germs are in your spit and snot so you have to sneeze on someone or share a cup to catch their germs. Well, when we took Nolen's temperature yesterday it was 98.6. Max happily announced, "Yay! Nolen can lick people again!" (I know that was a long story, but the punchline is worth it.)

5 Things I Haven't Blogged Yet
Sorry, I know I haven't blogged in a week but its been pretty quiet around here. Edward was in Huntsville last week for a Chinook conference and the kids and I were just hanging out. This is our last week with Ed before he takes off for his new job in MD. He isn't "working" this week just running errands to clear post and stuff. It will be nice to spend time all together before he goes to start his new job but it throws me off to not have a real routine. Its ok though, its just one week! Here are some of the highlights of the last week.
1. I found a lump in my breast a couple of weeks ago and had it checked out Monday and an ultrasound Tuesday. The radiologist said it was just breast tissue AND he called me skinny so it turned out to be a good day on Tuesday. hehe I was nervous about it but not really scared. I should be low risk (nursing kids, no maternal history of breast cancer) and my Grammy has had several lumps removed. It was a relief to get that over with. When we got to Flowers Hospital in Dothan, I told Nolen that he was born there. He told me, "Mom, I didn't like getting born." (This made me think of Jennee) I asked him why and he said it hurt. I told him that the doctor didn't do anything to him. He asked, "oh, just to you?" I said yes and then he decided he didn't mind getting born.
2. Max wants me to buy him some "cokaly coco muffs" cereal. He saw them on TV and they make everything chocolate! He asked me how much they cost and he wants to go to the store and buy them! Ha!
3. I wish my camera battery had not been dead the day we counted all of the money in the boys' crayon bank. Nolen saw a kid playing Lego Indiana Jones on a DS at the doctor's office and he wanted the game for the Wii.
Mom: It costs $50 and you doesn't have a birthday coming up.
Nolen: I have ten thousand monies in my piggy bank.
Mom: I don't think you have 10,000 dollars. If you do, I want to borrow it! hehe!!
We came home and I had the boys sort all the coins. Then I explained that four quarters make a dollar so Nolen started making stacks of four quarters and counting how many dollars he had. He was getting SO excited! In the end, he had enough to buy the game, which we did and he loves it! It IS a pretty cool game. We also watched Raiders of the Lost Ark on TV and it was cool because the game follows the movie pretty well and Nolen liked watching it. Don't worry, he was asleep by the super scary end!
4. We made Daddy a Chinook cake before he came home on Thursday. It looked better before I iced it. haha! I got lazy and didn't go to Wal-Mart to get black licorice for rotor blades and a red gummy bear (ed's call sign was Red Bear 22) but it still came out all right. I'm slowly getting better at the cake thing.
5. Nolen told me he wanted a wall of his bedroom painted green so that he could draw on it like at the Byrd Nest. He wanted a chalkboard wall. I told him we might be able to do that at the new house but until then, I got out my giant white board. I bought it in college to do math problems on - see I was saving paper and being green way back then!! Anyway, the boys have had a blast drawing, doodling and writing words on it. I decided it would be fun to play Pictionary Jr with the boys but Wal-Mart didn't have it so I made it. It wasn't fancy but the boys LOVED it! It kept their attention longer than ours! Max and I did most of the drawing. Max drew a snake, Mickey Mouse, grapes, and pizza to name a few. Nolen drew Lightning McQueen, and broccoli. It was a lot of fun!

Summer is officially here!
This past week (sorry I'm playing blog catch up) the boys and I went to the pool three times! I would have gone more if gas wasn't $4 a gallon! I need to check the times on the E'prise pool. Anyway, here is a video of Max jumping in. Max is great in the water! I told him he was a fish. I asked him if his name was Nemo. He said, "No. My name is Di-nee." I don't know where he got this made up name, but now its Max's fish name.
Weekend at the Lake
Max and Nolen swimming...plenty of safety here! hehe
I like the lighting in this picture.
Group picture! (from left to right) People: Neil, Max, Linda, Nolen, Edward; Dogs: Daisy, and Scooter
And...Jasmine is such a country dog! She spent hours jumping in to fetch her toys!
