Turning 2

Joshua and Jared turn 2. We had such a good time celebrating their birthday with family and a few friends. The boys had some of their playdate buddies that came too. The cupcake cones were a big hit. All the kids enjoyed them. Joshua and Jared got clothes, books and some new toys to play with when the weather gets nice.
Dave had to work on their actually birthday so my mom and I took them to Build a Bear and they were able to stuff animals and then dress them. Joshua picked a monkey and Jared picked an elephant. They absolutely love their animals. They have to nap with them and go to sleep with them at night. I even had to rock Jared and his elephant the other night. We went out for lunch and the boys even got ice cream, at least they tried it. Cake and ice cream when Dave got home. All and all it was a good week full of birthday fun.
Both boys had to go to DuPont to have their hearing tested as a result of having tubes put in. Jared did enough to pass but Joshua didn't want to coorperate so we have to go back in 4 weeks. I know that he can hear but the technician can not pass him unless he does what she needs him to do. We will try again.
The boys start a tumbling class tomorrow. Hopefully it will let some energy out and they will sleep for awhile when they are through. I will let you know.
As of now we are still waiting to see if Dave's company will go on stike. They have a verbal agreement and the lawyers are drawing up paperwork as I type but until it is voted on and signed there is still a chance. Hoepfully things will go ok and Dave will not have to strike.
Well that is all I have to post as of now. I will post more after our tumbling class.
