Back to Normal

The boys got to experience their wild side for two days, and now their hair is back to normal. Ryan shaved Brooksie's head today on the back deck before he went to school. He has a super short do, but it actually looks cute. I'll post a picture soon. Cobe looks fine if he doesn't gel his up- he just looks like he has a normal cut. They both had well-child checkups today with Dr. Green. They both are doing great which is such a blessing. Cobe is a little pipsqueak for his age- he fell under the 25% range for his age, but the doctor thinks he may be a late bloomer. Brooks was just under the 50% for his age.

The Boeve girls are actually here tonight spending the night. Lisa had the opportunity to sub in the morning, so instead of waking them up at 6:30 to bring them over here, they just are spending the night. They are so used to being together that they go right to sleep when I put them to bed so even though it is a school night, they did great.

No huge weekend plans. Braelyn and Selah are coming over tomorrow night; Saturday morning soccer game; St. Patrick's Day parade at noon in Holland and then swimming at Mimi's after the parade. I do not have to teach Sunday School this Sunday, but do have nursery during the church hour. That is our weekend in a nutshell!

"The System" that Lisa and I have put in place for meals has worked like a charm this week as well. She made us two scrumptous ones- individual meatloafs Tuesday night and then a hashbrown/sausage/cheese/crescent roll casserole tonight. They were both YUMMY!!!!! I made foil packs with chicken, stuffing, peas, ham, and mushrooms for Monday night. I liked them okay- Ryan did not. I made Penne Pasta casserole for Wednesday night (sort of like baked Ziti/pizza casserole). We haven't actually eaten that one- we'll have it tomorrow night. I am enjoying the nights off in the kitchen and saving money.

Off to do the crosswords, Sudokos and cryptoquotes that have accumulated this week from the paper! :-) Hope everyone has a spectacular weekend! ;-)
