nailed it

So Sunday night Jeremiah comes up to me all excited and says "mommy I ate a nail!" We went to the hospital for an x-ray and sure enough there is a nail in his stomach. I may have freaked out a little bit thinking that it was going to perforate his intestines and we were going to end up at primary childrens with more surgery. Luckily that didn't happen. They sent us home and told me to just watch him and wait for him to poop it out. The nail finally vacated the premises this morning. It has been a stressful couple of days. Who knew a nail could travel through your whole digestive tract without causeing any problems? Still, I wouldn't recommend it.

Christmas and other stuff

Christmas was kinda weird this year. Steve was in North Dakota working, so the boys and I went down to my parents house. The boys got spoiled rotten, apparently it's a Grandma's right. Jeremiah actually understood what was going on this year, so he had a lot of fun. Jacob was more interested in the wrapping paper than the actual gifts, but whatever. We had fun, but it just wasn't the same without Steve. He got back the day after Christmas, so we had a do-over.  

Jacob liked to put the wrapping paper in and out of the bucket. Who needs toys?

This was the boys Santa gift. Jeremiah has really gotten into cars lately, so he loved it. I didn't think Jacob would be able to to do it, but turns out he can do it too.

When Steve is gone he calls a couple of times a day. Jeremiah has gotten really weird about talking on the phone and most of the time just starts screaming if I try to get him to talk to Steve. Jacob loves to "talk" to Steve, but only if he is holding the phone. Jacob and Steve have very meaningful conversations. Jacob doesn't really talk so much as grunt. He would have made a great caveman.

I haven't made a cake in a while, so I decided to make a fake one for fun. I'm not really sure whether I like it or not. Too simple? I don't know. I had fun making it anyway.
