Thaddeus: Knowledgeable & Curious Good Character Award

Proud Thaddeus

Every so often Thaddeus' school has their teachers pick out students to receive awards for certain areas and having a positive PYP (Primary Years Program) trait.  This time Thaddeus was selected in his class because: Thaddeus is knowledgeable and curious about our world. This morning they were giving all the selected students their award. This was the first time we've really been able to attend anything because in the past it's been too hard to bring Xavier with us because he was either still on the oxygen or two soon off of it and we didn't want to take the chance.  So, this morning I {Keep on Reading}

Thaddeus: He’s a Character!

All dressed and ready to ride his bike, inside!

It never amazes me when Thaddeus comes walking into the room with some weird outfit on, dressing like a character from his favorite cartoon at that time.  Or just putting weird things on, just because. Here's a few pictures of him throughout the years, including the most recent from this month! I don't know where he gets this from, he's a weird child! :teehee {Keep on Reading}

Milestone Comparison: Take 3

April-1stEaster

So here we are almost 11 months after Xavier made his presence and it's time for another comparison.  Xavier has met some new milestones and is doing much better! Here are the milestones that have been met before each boy reached 11 months of age. Slept through the night: Thaddeus was 2 months old, Xavier was 9 months old. Held own bottle: Thaddeus was 5 months old, Xavier was 9 months old, but still refuses to do it! Smiled: Thaddeus was less than a month old, Xavier 3 months old. Laughed out loud: Thaddeus was 3 months old, Xavier was 5 months old. Rolled over: {Keep on Reading}

Tooth Fairy Pillow

So, Thaddeus is getting ready to lose his first tooth.  I don't remember it ever taking this long to lose your first one, but whatever. Anyway, I've been trying to figure out how the Tooth Fairy is going to visit and switch out his tooth for money without waking him up.  I can't even go into his room to turn his radio down or anything else when he's sleeping because he'll wake up. Tooth Fairy Pillow Earlier this morning while Xavier was napping, I decided to do some Googling and found this pattern/tutorial for a Tooth Fairy Pillow.  Now granted this pattern/tutorial was for a {Keep on Reading}

I’ve been slacking with posts with updates

DSCN2849

For no reason really.  I've just been slacking.  I have a couple of reviews I'm getting ready to write-up and some come with a giveaway, so keep an eye out for them! I also have a few items coming in for review that also have giveaways.  I do need to get my butt in gear with pitching for reviews. Most of my weekends are full with working, yes, I've gone back to work during the weekend.  However, I don't know how much longer that'll be going on with summer coming.  I don't plan on working during the weekends in the summer because that's our family time to go out places and I'm not {Keep on Reading}

We’ve moved the boys to their new rooms

Love how the crib fits in this spot!

I'm not done painting yet, not even close to it yet. But we moved the boys to their new rooms this weekend because I wanted to be able to paint in Thaddeus' room while Xavier was sleeping.  Here's a few pictures of their new rooms.  You'll have to excuse the mess in Thaddeus' room, he's a slob! :toofunny I still have to remove Thaddeus' name from the wall and put Xavier's in its place.  But that'll have to wait!  Sorry about the colors in Thaddeus' room, for whatever reason the camera was not cooperating with the natural light in the room today.  No new painting yet in Thaddeus' room, {Keep on Reading}

We have some Dinosaurs!

Valcano, Trees, & small Dinosaurs

I've slowly been getting some of the stencils painted for Thaddeus' new bedroom.  It's hard to do when Xavier sleeps in that room right now, but I've got one wall about half way done and another wall started.  I'm beginning to think we should start moving the kids into their new rooms so I have more time to paint.  You know, I would then be able to paint when Xavier is napping! Anyway, here's a couple of pictures of some Dinosaurs and other items for the theme.  I also edited the images so you can see the colors a bit better.  I'm not sure if they are exact colors, {Keep on Reading}
