A Big Boy Room!

Nick has finally made the big move upstairs! He is sleeping in Ben's old crib and seems to be adjusting well. We still need to do a little sorting and cleaning of the rest of the room, but it suits him just fine for bed time and getting dressed. 

His first night in his new room. It was pitch black in his room so focusing was difficult and it was an incredibly high ISO, so it is grainy, too. But none the less, a picture of sleeping Nick.

A good morning wake up call from Ben

One Small Step for Man Kind, One Giant Leap for the Wolny's

This weekend, Adam and I decided it was time to finally take back the house! Step one: move Nick upstairs to his big-boy bedroom. Step two: tackle all the toys in the living room and Nick's former bedroom/play room. Step three: remove all things children from the living room. 

The playroom before:

You literally could not walk, nor see the carpet.

2 hours later and 2 boys down for a nap...

Ta Da!

Yup, lasted the whole 1.5 hours the boys' naps overlapped and then it all when to hell again. Though, all the toys have stayed in the playroom so far.

Pants! We Don't Need No Stink'n Pants!

Well, as you can imagine, after playing in the mud and sand after a rainy morning, the boys were quite disgustingly dirty. To the point that they were all de-pants for lunch. All four boys got on the counter to help make lunch which included fresh from the garden tomatoes and blueberries. The boys were in charge of sorting the good and bad tomatoes.

Enjoying the 'good ones' :) 

Fun and Play with the Phibbs

Last Friday we took a trip to Ann Arbor to see Alex and Luke Phibbs. It was a raining day to start, so we played in the house then went outside before lunch. The boys had a great time playing in the fort and in the sand and mud. The boys seemed to always be scattered around the yard, so I wasn't able to get a picture of all 4 of them. 

T-Ball Medal

And with the end of t-ball, came metals! Which was quite fitting as it was Olympics time. Ben was very excited about his metal. He even did the Olympic thing of biting it (though that was not his intention, he was just fascinated with putting it in his mouth)

Last T-Ball Game

Last Tuesday was Ben's last t-ball game. He was a little sad once he figured out there was no more t-ball. But he had a good last game. He batted and fielded with no parental field placement and he had fun with his teammates. We will definitely be back for more next summer!

Nick made a friend, too.

Just Hangin' Out

Sunday we headed over to Milan to hang out with the Pierce's and Auntie Gwen. 

Again, Ben had to get in on the taking pictures action. This time, he got to use Auntie Ann's camera

 Ben was helping David wipe the crumbs off

 Erin and Ben bonded over bowling on the Kindle Fire

 Ben built a whole city in the dirt by the pond. He had trees and a bridge and roads. 

 Notice how the boys are trying to push each other over. Grrreat.
