Wipeout

Mommom has been letting Lucas watch a little of the show "Wipeout" when she watches the kids on bowling nights. He LOVES it and lately Lottie has gotten into it as well. It's an obstacle course that contestants have to try and make it through. The kids make courses for their stuffed animals, and always want us to make tricky things for them to run through/jump over. Today, it was 65 degrees and we spent the whole day outside. Lucas began making a course out of orange cones to run around... Next thing you know, the entire backyard is a "Wipeout" zone! The kids loved it!!!

Fun February

Let's see... What happened in the world of Williams in February?

We celebrated Mommom's 60th birthday!
Went downtown to an International Car Show... Kids got in every car there, Char insisted on wearing a fairy costume, and Lucas got to participate in a slot-race... And the robot referred to Tony with Lottie his shoulders as the "double human"!
Lucas had actual homework for school, though it was more like homework for me...
The kids celebrated Valentine's Day at school with a dance and party.
Lottie insisting almost every day to wear summer dresses as soon as she gets home from school.
Some hot tub action at Mike & Brenda's...
A phone call at work on Friday morning that Lucas tripped over his own feet at school and fell, busting his whole mouth open... Shoes, pants, and shirt covered in blood and a few hours in the ER... Although it looked swollen and terrible, the docs opted to not do anything... And a few hours later, we had this (believe me, it looks 300% better than earlier in the day!):
Lucas even got new school shoes out if it...
Other random-ness...
A new truck... Adios Tacoma, hola Tundra!
A little virus/bug...

For real, WHEN did baby girl start looking like a little kid???

The rest of cuzzins weekend...

Early the next morning, we headed over to Jeff and Chasity's house to relieve them of full command of 4 little ones. We hadn't hung out in a while, so we decided we'd make a fun day of things. First, we went to Denny's in Annapolis. The kids got a little crazy during the 30 minute wait... Then we ordered all the kids "pancake puppies" (hush puppies made from pancake batter). Yum, right? Nope, every kid was mad they didn't get "regular" pancakes. Kids...
Then we drove downtown to the Science Center. We took the kids back in early December and had a blast. And Jeff heard they were having a cool bugs exhibit for kids... They got to touch all kids of worms/bugs, eat cricket pancakes, have cricket spitting contests, watch roach races, and be exterminators...
Aside from the bug part, there was much more fun to be had...
By the end of the afternoon, this is what we had...
4 tired kids! I know our 2 fell asleep the second we started the car!
