Baby brother comes to visit

William came to visit last weekend and I can't believe how bad I can be at taking pictures! So, no current pictures of William, but in honor of his visit to Madison, this is a good recent one of us (and Mom) :)

We found "I'm Board" which is a game store for...how did you guess..Board games! We bought Alhambra and Innovation. We played Alhambra several times, but didn't take the time to figure out Innovation yet. It was a fun strategy game. Not sure if it is one of those games you wouldn't get bored with though....we'll see :)

Thanks for coming William!

So, I'm am now introducing myself as the "hider finder" in our family. Scott and I searched and searched and searched again for the remote control to our TV. As you know, Blake likes to use these remotes as a telephone since I won't always give him my cell. Well, when Scott was napping on the couch, Blake snuck up and stole the remote from him, and hid it in an undisclosed location. We hadn't been able to find it for a couple days until the "hider finder" came along and discovered Blake's hiding spot.

As you know, we do cloth diapers. Well, I found this cloth box to be excellent at storing his diapers and Blake found it to be excellent at storing remote controls. This box was nearly empty and both Scott and I had looked in it a couple times briefly, but for some reason, we didn't pull all the diapers out. I decided to look one more time, and there was the missing remote!

Blake also got a toy which has 6 little balls which he LOVES to throw everywhere. Unfortunately, they are small enough to roll under furniture, which is where we find them at the end of every day (and throughout the day). Well, we've been missing 2 for a while and Scott found one of them under our kitchen sink, but where oh where was the 6th?



This is the locked cupboard under our kitchen sink. Blake pulls the handles as far back as he can and drops his toys through the crack. Thankfully, they either fall through the crack on the bottom, or rest on the shelf. They have not yet fallen in the trash. His first ball rolled behind the trash, the SECOND ball, fell onto the shelf, rolled to the back, hit a groove behind some plumbing, and hid there until the "hider finder" found it!

 Thanks Blake, for keeping us on our toes!!
