Mesquite elementary had a family Feast party and every family get to decorate gingerbread houses.
I think this was their first gingerbread house decoration ever. They did great! Had so much fun!
Michael's house in the black container and Enoch's house in the clear container. Peter made a snowman with three mushmellows.
When Enoch is at school, sometimes it's very hard when Michael and Peter just have each other, they seem to be always bugging each other. But there are times, when they play so well together and I feel so happy to see them bound as brothers.
One morning Michael and Peter played soccer on the grass then played on the trampoline, using the entrance as the goal. Then tonight these two just went to the toy room to play, you can hear them laughing together.
The other night while Michael was practice piano, Enoch and Peter played chasing games. I was surprised to see that Peter actually can play well and keep up with Enoch and Michael now. Time really flies, I still remember Peter as a baby and now he is just a big boy like his brothers.
I love that they can do more and more things together now, they have less and less gap, they include Peter in more and more things they do. I hope you three stay best brothers. Love you three!
Since being back from Mexico thanksgiving our boys have been sick. They went through a round of stomach flue with puking and then Peter started to have a fever the night before, and have a weezing sound (which was corrected by the doctor as a strider sound). Last night I felt horrible, he was having a really hard time keeping his breath. He didn't cough a lot, but every time he did it was painful for him, I can tell. After calling his pediatrician, I decided to take him to the ER. Our neighbor Loraine came to take Enoch and Michael to sleep at her house guest room. Sam happened to be working at the ER last night so he came to visit us during work. But he was too busy and had to go back to work. We got checked in, the Dr gave Peter Steroids meds, breathing treatment. He got better and then worse again, so they gave him another breathing treatment, and waited another two hours until the steroids kicked in. Peter was cheerful as long as he could breath better and play with iPad. We got discharged around 1am.
On the way to the ER, Peter was so sick during the car ride, he would make laboring breathing sound, and ask me to hold him. "Mommy can you hold me?" 'Mommy can you hold my hand?" I started to pancake, I had a slight feeling that there is chance of losing him!! I started crying. It was a scary moment to me. I hope I never had to experience that again with any of my kids.
Michael: Mom, do all moms stay at home? Do they not go anywhere?
Me: no, some moms have to work. Some moms don't. You are lucky because I don't have to work, so you see me all the time. Would you like me to go to work instead?
Michael: NO!
Michael: Do dads have to work all the time?
Me: no, some dads stay home watch kids and some dads go to work. What kind of dad do you want to be when you grow up?
Michael: I want to be a dad stays home watch the kids! Mom can go to work!
Me:(😁) I hope you can find a mom that would let you do that.
Michael: How can I find a mom?
Me: well, you just be friends with girls and play with them, get to know them, if you like them, then you can ask them to be your kids' mom.
Michael: What if they don't want to?
Me: ugh... Then you go find another one!😁
I caught a grasshopper outside and gave it to the kids. they've been in love with it this past week. the grasshopper lost one back leg when I was trying to catch it. and then lost another during the time Michael and Peter were playing with it. and this morning, it died after being sick for a few days. we've tried to feed it lettuce, water, oats and even cotton balls(Enoch's choice). sadly it went rigid and died this morning. Michel was really sad and wants to find a new one.
Peter always calls it "grass monster" which was really cute! and in the first pic the boys built a duplo box they called "grasshopper 'S house" to trap the grasshopper in there. I can see that they really likes the grasshopper a lot.
They even have this fake grass for the grasshopper to play on.
Found boogers on the wall and I was starting to doubt our friends's kids who just came over to play. Michael just came to me this morning to tell me sorry for putting booger on the wall... cause daddy found him doing that and told him to say sorry to me. He is sure daddy's son haha ;)
Peter closed the door on Michael's finger today. Michael learned the hard way that he shouldn't put his finger in the crack inbetween the door and door frame, where the door connects the door frame. It was really sad. I gave him some tylonal and chocolate before taking him to see his Dr. Took xray of his fingers, everything looks fine. So they put Band aid on there to proven pulling off the fingernail. But was told that the fingernail is going to fall off on its own.
I told the boys to give them some time to read books before I turn off the light. And came in to found Michael lying on Enoch's bed with Enoch reading the "there was a coyote who swallowed a flea". Peter saw me coming in, wanted me to put him on Enoch's bed saying that "enoch reading coyote "... so cute!

I went to my room to lie down for a while after putting Peter to bed and found Michael sleeping in the toy room :)
Michael told me that I am really pretty! Nice to hear that on a day I feel crappy,bloated and drained( you know what I am talking about) and husband left at 3:30 for work. Michael is now unloading the dishwasher for me.Thanks for being the sweetheart I so needed this morning
Just saw Michael made this necklace-alike stuff with my leftover fabric. He said it's the "muscle" he just made. Hilarious
Peter is in this stage of singing songs. Especially during car rides, he would sing songs nonstop. Today he was singing "ring around the Rosie's" and then Michael joined in to teach peter how to sing the whole song. It was cute!
Had a somewhat busy day. View from JPMorgan Chase Tower 60th floor. Also walked houston downtown tunnels for the first time. Then in the afternoon, Daddy took the boys to the library and then a great park to play while I had my doctor appt. By the end of the day, we asked our boys what their favorite thing was today, Michael said " eating dinner!" And Enoch said "playing Angry Birds games on daddy's Nexus!" Yeah, pretty much sums it up ;)
