About the new freckles that are always on the boys....Uh...I mean, dirt. I can't seem to keep them clean!
About the messes they seem to cause.....
They're a joy and a blessing. [Most days.]
Update: Matt has been referred to the Neurologist to be tested for Aspberger's and Autism. It's bittersweet - because I'm glad he's getting the help he needs - but at the same time...wishing he didn't need it...you know...things all Mommy's think about. Joshua goes in to start the same counseling process Matt's undergoing...A LOT of the "counseling" is more like therapeutic talking....helping Matt assign a name to his feelings...validating, correcting....same thing he's getting now in the Early Intervention...but more concentrated.
I was just talking with his counselor (Melissa...you rock!) and then my sister Sarah (who's gone thru all the barrage of testing with 2 of her boys already...) and the test they'll be putting Matt through (Josh too...but a little later) is 5 hours. He will have to be sedated. :(
Not happy about that....the kids DO NOT like shots. It's not pretty. (I really don't like taking them to the Doctor's office without Daddy when it's shot day...it's pretty grizzly....the doctor even went so far to say that we should address their behavior issues...and yeah, that didn't go over so well with me!)
I've also been thinking a lot this week about my Gramma. :) Missing her! It's been 9 years since she passed away...I still can't believe that...Mom and I went up Wednesday to the cemetary....I braved the wind and rain...just so I could snap this picture...

It was pretty bad lighting...but this was my best picture.
The boys were cute....they blew kisses to their Gigi Donna. :) I know she'd have loved that...Had to laugh...because the last time we went up there...I introduced my mom to the built in vase. {LOL} She didn't know that's what that was! ;) We found some really pretty pink flowers (no roses, unfortunately), but the flowers were appropriately named "Prima Donna". She would've loved them. I went to my closet last night and found her old shawl/lap blanket she kept over her chair...it used to smell so much like her....the scent has faded completely. :( It made me so sad!
And on a completely different and unrelated topic...Stann bought a recliner. (LOL) We're now officially middle-aged! He's currently snoring in said recliner...while "watching" TV. Reclining in it only brings his head down so that everyone can see his gorgeous head o' hair is starting to thin just a little on top...Man, oh man! We're getting old!
Now it's off to our Ward YW's Fundraiser....Spaghetti Feed! :) I made some cupcakes to auction off, and Stann's bringing his checkbook {wink} to bid on some items. I hope I get the items I want...! I have an excellent "in"...! Stann's the auctioneer!
I'll letcha know what we win!
