Oh, Poop.
I took the boys out to eat for lunch yesterday and while eating, Jake needed to take care of some business. Once we were done eating I snatched him up and we went to the bathroom to clean up shop. Before I even got to the bathroom I could tell it wasn't going to be a one wipe clean-up. I layed him down on the changing table only to find that poop had escaped the diaper and was all over his shorts, legs, feet, and ME. I was planning to go shopping after lunch but not with a poop covered shirt on. So Jake rides home in just a diaper and I breath through my mouth (since I stink) the whole way. Now, this is NOT the first time this has happened to him. At least once a week he has an poop explosion. Another time was at Randy's Dad's house where we had to hose him down in the sink. At least this was the first time he did it in public, but I'm sure it won't be the last. Never a dull moment :)

Birthday guests
I went ahead and scheduled Ethan's 3rd birthday party so that I could get the invitations made with plenty of time to spare. At dinner tonight I asked Ethan who he wants to invite. His reply "Santa Claus and Brian." (Brittany's husband). LOL

Busy weekend
We left Friday night to go to Jacksonville and visit Randy's family for the weekend. What is normally a 5.5 hour drive turns into about 6.5 hours with two little kids, but we got there with very little trouble
On Saturday, the boys all went golfing while I went to visit with Malinah and our new nephew, Brayden. He is so tiny and such a sweet little boy! I took some pictures on him while I was there.
On Sunday, we went to the beach for a little while and had a great time. Ethan LOVED playing in the sand but refused to put his feet in the water. It was very cold and the water was choppy so we think he was just afraid of the waves coming. It was Jake's first time at the beach and he hated sitting on the dry sand, but when we put him on the wet sand he was happy. He felt the sand in his hands and feet and tasted a little. Not too bad, a little gritty.
Randy's brother, Matt, played in a baseball game in the afternoon so we watched him play the second half. We decided to leave at 8:30 on Sunday so that the kids could sleep in the car like they did on the way down. We realized that the drive back is not a good idea at night because we are tired from the weekend and it makes it a long drive back. It doesn't help to get pulled over 10 minutes from the finish line. Ugh. Just a warning at least :)

Let me do it!
Ethan has had the "let me do it myself" mentality for the past 6 months or so, but I never thought that Jake would already be doing the same. I was trying to feed him some ravioli for lunch, but he wouldn't let me put it in his mouth or feed it to him with the fork. I finally set the fork down and what do you know, Jake picked it up and fed himself. So, then I had to keep reloading the fork so he could eat. Sheesh. . .

Easter
We had a nice Easter weekend! On Saturday we went to an egg hunt in Loganville and had a great time. We got there about 2 minutes before Ethan and Jake's age group started. 
After the hunt Ethan played on a few of the inflatable slides and bouncers before heading home. We colored eggs for the bunny to hide and crashed for the night. 
Ethan had a lot of fun hunting for the eggs in the morning and especially liked smashing them and saying "Christ is risen." He did not, however, enjoy eating the eggs that he cracked. Jake also did not like trying the egg yolks and he made a seriously awful face. Randy's Mom and roommate, Liz, brought over Easter dinner and played with the boys most of the afternoon.

At last!
It seems that my little request of Jake from the other day has worked! He has been going to bed at 9pm and sleeping until 1:30am. He cries for about 10 minutes and goes back to sleep. Then he woke up at 5:30am to eat and went back to sleep until 8:00am. Now if I go to bed at 9:00 also we'll be in business.
I think Jake is trying to stand up without any help, and then he ends up crawling around like this. It looks hilarious.
