Wood Family updates... and who wants to come have a drink with me?!

Well, first things first. Bretty did it. We're kicked out of the gym for a month:( He bit yet another kid and drew blood again on monday. It's been 2 days and I'm seriously going crazy!! I am a product of structure and that structure exploded. So, if you want to come join me in my new coping skill, come on over and bring your glass. Just a reminder of the little devil causing all this trouble... He's saying "cheese" for the camera:)

Next update, Michael and Jeffrey (or should I say "I") had to do their first research paper about a famous Utahn and then dress up like them and present memorized autobiographies about their person. Michael was the astronaut/senator Jake Garn...

And, Jeffrey was Jedediah Smith- the famous Utah trapper/explorer...

thanks to Grandma Ilene and Thelissa for the great costume helps!


The next update is another "box" adventure. Easton had a friend over and they played in this vacuum box.

Then Jeffrey got a hold of it and attached to a computer box and added some duct tape. It became a fabulous "house" that Easton has spent every night in the last week. Sadly, Bretty attacked it today and it had to go to recycling.
And, finally I had to make yet another cake for a cake auction in our ward. If you don't remember my first attempt scroll down to February 2008. Anyway, I think I'm getting better, don't you? We still had to buy our own cake back though:)

Super cute cake. And believe it or not, super cute Bretty! Those teeth do look sharp though! Maybe he belongs in "Baby Twilight".

Maybe you can find a cannibal gym??? Oh man, I'm sorry. I don't like the gym that much, but I have to admit I'd be annoyed to find out I "can't" go. He IS cute, though. Could you just go late at night or early in the morning by yourself when they're all asleep? Good luck!!

So sorry about the biting! I have the same Monkey "Leash" and got some comments about it in the airport in Hawaii . . . oh well, at least we care enough to not lose our kids. Big deep breaths and cookies help me.

Sorry to hear about the gym. I was once there with Luke. Now I have to resort to going at 5:45 am. It is very hard to get up, but I know how much you need your sanity!

I am sorry about the gym, poor you. Cute cupcake idea!

Even though you can't go to the gym when you want to, look at all the other things you are getting accomplished- like Utah Reports and cute cupcake displays! Also I can teach you how to link other posts to your post so people can link back to other posts when you talk about them. I learn these things when I;m not at the gym in the middle of the day!:)

Love the cupcakes. Who knew you were Martha Stewart in disguise (except I'm pretty sure your biceps are MUCH bigger than hers)!

So, I'm just gonna give ET a bunch of boxes for his birthday.

Natalie said...

p.s. Its so true, that flower cupcake is a vast improvement from your dragon/frog/some type of amphibian (did I spell that right Kari?) cake. Props to you.

The things we do for our kids... SIGH. Clay and I are looking forward to playing with Bretty tomorrow though!

Sorry to hear about the gym. You will just have to do push ups at home or somethin...not like you need to do them or anything:)
