kids......what would we do without them

it has been a while since my last post but nothing has really happened. things have been pretty calm here and things are running smoothly. the kids are great and busy!! troy is finally getting over his cold. he is so busy and eating everything. caleb has been his usual crazy self. he is growing up so fast. he has been learning to read and is doing very well with it. it is fun to listen to him try to read.

on sunday night, caleb and i were in his bed reading a book. it was a small book and i actually got him to read it to me. there were of course some words that he needed help with. well, he came to a sentence with the word "fort" in it. he started.."f...fa...far...far...t...fart....he, he i said fart". that's my boy! he laughed for 5 minutes about saying "fart". he thought it was so funny.

so, fast forward to yesterday. i usually do my grocery shopping on saturdays but didn't feel like it this week. so when brandon got home yesterday, i went. it took me about 2 hrs. from the time i left to get back home. i was enjoying my break! well, i get home and caleb has this look on his face and brandon is standing right behind him. well, to shorten the story, brandon was on the computer and caleb and troy were playing in caleb's room where there are little legos. caleb starts screaming,"i don't want troy to die....i don't want troy to die....". we think that troy swallowed a lego! we have tried to emphasize that caleb has to keep his legos cleaned up b/c troy will swallow them and get choked. maybe this will work. as for troy, we will just have to keep a check on "things"......
