I still haven't gotton the weekly posting down yet, so this is basically 3 posts in one!! First we have the Olive Garden Adventure. Daddy LOVES Olive Garden and the boys always eat well there. So, a few weeks ago we found ourselves out and about way past dinner time and decided that we would go ahead and give it a try. It was about 8:30, but we figured there was no way there were going to make it home without falling asleep and we had to eat. So off we went. Chase fell asleep shortly after our food arrived. Blake and Ethan thought that this was HILARIOUS and could not stop laughing at him. At first he was putting his head down and rolling it back and forth making humming noises. We just thought he was being funny because he would look up every once in a while to see just how much attention he was getting. Once the food arrived, big brothers stopped paying him any attention. So without an audience, he was off to dreamland!!
Next we have our big bowling adventure. I took the boys bowling with some friends (Tony was home sick.) Normally, I would not attempt this on my own, but it was a Monday night and it was in the middle of our record 30 days at or well above 100 degrees, so the boys had been inside for days. They put the bumpers up and brought us a ramp so the little kids could just roll the ball. Ethan LOVED the bowling shoes and the pink bowling ball. Blake had a blast bowling without the ramp. Chase was perfectly content playing with everyone's shoes!! The kid has a major shoe fetish!! They only lasted through one game, but it was SO much fun. The boys can't wait to go back.

Blakey bowling like the big kids.
MINE shoes!!
And finally, we have Chase hitting the jackpot. I made blueberry muffins. Chase and Ethan finished theirs. Blake ate one, got down for something, got sidetracked, and ultimately lost his breadfast.
Oh, one more. The picture isn't too good here. That is because it was taken at midnight. That's right, Tony is working on his truck and that is Ethan on the tricycle...at midnight. The story behind the photo....Tony's truck wouldn't start one Friday morning. He HAD to get to work, so he left the truck and took the Suburban. We had plans that evening, so once we got home the plan was for me to get the boys in bed while he ran up to Walmart and got 2 new batteries for the truck (it was around 11:00) It had been 105 that day and was expected to be 107 the next so Tony decided that working in the dark was better than working in the heat. Ethan had been especially Daddy clingy and was the only one who was still awake when we got home at 11:00. He had been listening to our conversation and had pretty well decided that Daddy was going to need some help. So he offered his services. The Walmart trip took about 45 minutes, but Ethan never faded. He stayed outside with his Daddy until almost 1:00AM when they finally got the truck running again. And just in case you were wondering, he came in and got showered and in bed but was still up at 7:30...ready for some breakfast!! And the best part is, he is wearing one of Blake's old shirts that reads, "What's not to Love?"
