UFK

Ultimate Fighting Kitty

The contenders:

Keegan V Willie

The other night I heard the fight going on between these two. Not sure who won but I know one of them has a nail(a piece of the claw not a real nail) stuck in his side. Lets go to the photographs..


while Keegan is the one that has the nail in his side, I think the pictures speak for themselves.
WINNER!

Chatty Cathy

Luka has become a regular chatty Cathy these days. Over the last week or two, instead of talking AT Charlie he talks TO Charlie ie: "Charlie!! Charlie!! What are you doing Charlie?"

Luka also has a nack for waking up just as I'm shutting down the house and getting ready for bed. This was the case last night. He woke up around 11pm. I peaked in on him and he was fine so I ignored him, got in bed and just listened to him talk. Here is the conversation he has with himself "Llena (his girlfriend from the 1st floor, her real name is Ellena she's a month older then him) Llenaaaa Llena? Wheres Llena? Mommy? mooommmmyyy mooommmmmyy Where are you Mommy...Charlie! Charlie! CHARLIE guess what(or maybe it was get up) Charlie! Daddy? Daaddyy.." That went on for a few more minutes until Kev finally went in there (he came home midway through Luka chatting away). He stayed awake until after 2:30am. He woke me up twice during that time (kev was up doing work so he was dealing with him) once to cuddle and the other time I just gave him a bottle. While he was up with Kevin, he asked to "watch a show", "play with trucks", "turn on the lights"..he asked for many things until Kev just gave him some toys and put him back in his bed.

I don't know how he does it but its like he has a sensor that goes off when i'm about to go to bed and when i'm trying to get up early in the morning before the kids get up. So I just give up, I was trying to change my schedule so I would go to bed earlier and wake up around 6 every morning. Luka won, I'll try again in a few months.

WANTED

Has anyone see this boy?



He went missing about 3-4 weeks ago. He has been replaced by a 16yr old hormonal teenage girl. He talks back, he test his limits with authority, he also laughs in your face when being punished. The last part is nothing new (he's done it since he started getting time outs), it has tapered off over the last few months but is back with a vengeance.

I'd like him back ASAP!

Easter in NY

So I don't really remember much about Easter, guess I should have blogged sooner. We spent most of the day at Aunt Debs then went to Kev's parents for dinner. Oh ya, and Shaun also told us that he was moving to South Africa, not for good just for now. So here's some pictures:

The egg hunt

Luka found his first egg

Charlie holding on to Luka's egg


The egg hung was on for the adults...you might think I'm kidding, but it gets pretty competitive, look at Erin in the background

The Easter bunny left the baskets in the back room..so the boys didn't get them until I remembered half way through breakfast

Uncle Shaun and Charlie

Later that evening at Kev's parents house

Enjoying their toy phones

not sure if he's excited or crying

The Fam

Hope you had a Happy Easter!!

Spring Brunch and Egg Hunt

The event went off great, we had plenty of food and lots of help. I was super stressed about running such a large event (it was for the 2 family dorms on campus). We had over 250 people show up. While the egg hunt was fun it was wicked windy. I also forgot to tell people that the golden eggs were prize eggs. I got most of the people who found them but some were left out. Someone also stole the 3 eggs Luka had, one of which was a prize egg..I was ticked. Next year I think its best to do the egg hunt BEFORE the brunch. Thanks to Anna for all her help planning the event, and to Andrew for helping out the night before. Now some picture:

Food Table..lots and lots of yummy stuff

June 10th?

Are we sure its June 10th and not October 10th? While 59* is still considered warm here, its not a warm 59*, it feels more like the lower 50's..sigh, will summer ever come?
