Sick, Sneaky & BUBBLES

Whoo! It’s been a crazy couple of days at my house. I am trying to be more frequent in my blog attempts, but it just wasn’t working for me this week.

On Monday James, Colin and I all caught part two of the horrible stomach virus (NOT fair! We already paid those dues in January….) So we spent the first part of the week stuck inside. I didn’t want James throwing up all over my house, and the only way to get him to remain stationary was to set up the portable dvd player (for the car) in his room, turn on Finding Nemo, and have him lay on the “bed” we made for him on the floor. It was obvious that watching movies and having mommy hand deliver beverages to his room was something James quite enjoyed. By Wednesday he was all better, yet he would periodically get bored and then shout, “Ow Ow!…My tummy kinda hurts…maybe I need like…Nemo…watch it in my room or some-din…..dat make me feel better.”

He is SO SNEAKY…but not good enough for me.

And this story here proves that James is very lacking in sneaky skills: Today he broke into the pantry while I was bathing Colin, took a bunch of chocolate and hid it in his room. I know this because after I finished diapering/dressing Colin, James came out of his room with chocolate melted all over his face and then said, “I hid chocolate in my room so you won’t know I’m eating chocolate.”

I’ve got a couple rounds of photos I’ve been meaning to blog, so I’ll just start with these, and catch up on the rest some other time. These pictures are from this past weekend. Jim had found a spot in Boulder that looked like a cool place for photos, so we headed there on Saturday. Here’s James, with his new tube of birthday bubbles!
