AsherNothat'spoop!

Today I decided to take the boys outside.
They wanted to take a walk so I took them on a walk through the wooded area behind our house.
There are still no leaves on trees so you can see straight back to the little pond.
Anyway, I told them not to touch anything unless they asked me first.
Moments later from behind I hear, "Mom, gwapes!"
I turn and do the only thing I can do with the amount of time I'm facing.
I yell, "AsherNOthat'spoop!" Yes, I'm pretty sure that came out as one word.
Deer poop in fact. It was not a grape at all and it was within inches of his lips.
Sooooooooo glad I caught it before it went in.
The rest of the walk we heard "more poop!, more poop!"  Lots of deer behind are house apparently.

Also, right now it's snowing outside.

Dear PA,
Don't you know it's the end of March, that the official first day of Spring was the 20th, all the snow just melted. Seriously, STOP SNOWING!

Tonight's dinner:
Noah: I don't want it, it's really really gross! (crying, crying, more crying)
Asher: Noah, calm down! Eat dinner!

He finally ate.

In the past week I've made gluten free corn bread muffins, lemon pound cake (oh so good), pancakes, bread and tortillas are on the list for tomorrow. I don't think I've been feeding Heath very well so this past week I've been trying to do a little better.

A lesson, a chocolate pie, and a tree.

I forgot to add this picture to yesterday's post. This was my thanksgiving "How to kill a deer" aka "where's the kill zone on the deer" game plan from Heath (the artist). I think I'm ready. Send me out coach.

This picture is for uncle Joshy. Asher is eating chocolate pie and loves it. Loves it like uncle Joshy. 

This is what it looks like at our house right now. 

We decorated  our tree yesterday. I broke one ornament and the the boys knocked the tree over. 

It's true that Asher likes to flush the toilet and say, "bye, bye bubbles" and true that Noah is a little confused about Santa and thinks he's coming to take his toys.

I think you mean wonderland

 Yes, it snowed today.

Noah HAD to go outside.

Asher HAD to stay inside. He's got a little cold. We put a hat on him anyway so he didn't feel left out.

Noah was frozen.  I had to drag him in because really he would stay outside forever if I let him and he didn't exactly have the right snow gear on. Noah is such a funny kid. His new thing is saying "oh, dear!" when things aren't going so well. His talking is improving so much that we can actually have a little conversation. I feel like he's my little buddy now and we're getting to know each other better. Heath seems to think he'll be able to take him hunting earlier then he thought. Noah will say randomly in a whispering voice, "Shhh, a deer."  I got a new calling. Young Womens president. I have a great counselor and there seems to be a lot of work to be done. We are going to the pumpkin patch tomorrow with the Nazelrod's and the Ence's.

It's true that I'm putting off potty training because I'm not quite sure how I want to go about it. Also true that Noah shared one of his trains with Asher the other day...and a friendship created.
