The fight

He loves his puppy

Last week was fairly uneventful in the Fieleke household. It was my first week getting to stay home with the boys and I loved it. No regrets for quitting my job. I am so fortunate that I could make that choice. The weather has been really beautiful so we've gotten to spend a lot of time outdoors.

Blake is working on dressing himself. He's been able to do the bottom half for awhile now, but we're working on getting shirts on too. Yesterday he came down the stairs and said "mommy, I need help." I asked him what was wrong and he said, "I put my pants on backwards." I told Blake that I had to take a picture of it. He said, "no, I don't want a picture." Poor guy, his mother is already embarrassing him.

Blake and Drew had their first fight over a toy the other day. Drew has this puppy that sings. Drew was playing with it but then Blake took it away and started pushing buttons. Drew just starred at it, but then decided he wanted it back so he started pulling at it. It was actually a pretty tame fight. Blake did the sweetest thing yesterday (maybe to make up for the fight). At the kids gym he made a friendship bracelet for Drew and him. It was precious.

Move It

No, I am not announcing what we have decided to do regarding Kyle's job. I just solved a puzzle. Yesterday on our walk Blake broke out in the song "I like to move it" or "Move It. " I'm not actually sure what it is called, but Blake knew all the words to the chorus. For those of you in our generation you probably know what song I'm talking about. Kyle and I both looked at each other and thought, "Where did he learn that song?" Today we were waiting for the mail to come and Blake mentioned that he was excited to get his movie Madagascar in the mail from NetFlix. He then started singing "Move-It" again. Oh, I thought....that song is in the movie. I was ready to start interviewing who Blake was hanging out with, now I know that the bad influence was just Mimi and Pampa and the children's gym at the YMCA where he saw Madagascar :)

Easter Sunday

Praise God for the risen Savior! Easter was a wonderful celebration! The day started out a little chilly and rainy but quickly turned in to a beautiful, warm and sunny day. My parents came over for lunch and I managed not to burn anything. I substituted shoestring fries for hashbrowns in the casserole since HEB's hashbrown section had been raided, but it still turned out pretty yummy. Drew managed to ruin his Easter outfit (no information is probably needed on how that happened). Blake kept his clean until he decided to dig a car out of the dirt in our backyard. Boys will be boys :) At night we took a Fieleke family walk and played a little tennis. Blake is learning how to be a ball boy. Eventually he'll learn tennis too. Blake and Kyle watched the Sound of Music for the first time last night (yes, despite the fact that Kyle sang in the church that Maria and Capt. Von Trap got married in, he has never seen the movie). During the Favorite Things song Kyle asked Blake what his favorite things were. Here is his list; singing, eating colored goldfish, watching movies and jumping.

Saturday we had a great time at Blake's first official Easter Egg Hunt. It was down at my parent's development and had a petting zoo, games, face painting, lunch and of course the easter egg hunt. Blake loved the animals. His favorite was a goat. The Easter Egg Hunt was a hit and he loved it once he got the hang of it. He especially got excited when he found out that the eggs had candy in them. Blake refused to sit on the Easter Bunny's lap but Drew enjoyed it.
