ACK. . . I am surrounded by boys!!!! I need more estrogen in my life since I am so outnumbered –> 
Here’s a photo of my three boys from this morning:
On that note I am off to see where two of the boys are. I know where the little one is, since he’s nursing now.

Today while JSL and I were out visiting school it started to rain horribly. When I was driving home my parents mentioned it had hailed during the storm. Upon arriving home I saw a pile of white pellets in the corner of the front patio. I put JSL in the house and went back outside to look at things. Sure enough it was hail still sitting there. In fact I looked at the things that NHL had planted and some of the pumpkins didn’t look too good after the storm. Here’s a photo of them so you can see the strange sighting for the last day of May:
NHL is still very anxious to hold his little brother. Here’s a photo of Thing 1 “holding” Thing 2 (JSL was NOT happy since he was hungry at the time):

After I took JSL to the doctor we went to the daycare center for NHL’s parent teacher conference. This was the first one that I have gone to. When we got there the daycare director said that afterward she wanted to introduce us to JSL’s teachers for the fall when he starts going there. I was relieved to hear that JSL will not be in the same infant room that NHL was in. It’s not that it was a bad experience, the head teacher just isn’t warm and fuzzy.
So, JL and I talked with NHL’s teacher about how things are going. She said he’s testing things a little more, but she doesn’t think it is necessarily his baby brother and is likely just the age (almost 4). She was really great. It’s amazing how she really knows NHL after being in the room such a short time. I think her evaluation was the most accurate one that we’ve had – EVER. We also told her that were not 100% sure about the summer and plans. NHL is going to a new school for the fall and we’re debating what to do for the summer. He’ll be bored home with me every day. So we did ask about possibly sending part time for July and August. The daycare director said it’s a possibility and would get back to us.
After our meeting we happened to meet NHL in the hall since he was in the gym having PT. We promised to meet him in his classroom to show off his baby brother to his friends. So we were finally able to part from him and went to see the new baby room. We met two of the teachers. Interesting to note the afternoon teacher in that room is the woman that left NHL’s current room to retire. I guess it wasn’t really for her and she just needed out of that age group. The nice thing about this new room is the head teacher is a nurse. That calms me down a lot and we saw her as we were leaving. She told us to visit often this summer and chat anytime. I was very happy since the guilt about going back to work in September has already started.
After that we went to see NHL and then took JSL to see JL’s co-workers.
On that note I am off to deal with nose milk coming from JSL again. UGH!

This morning we went out to brunch with my parents, my grandmother, Aunt S, and Aunt T. After that we went grocery shopping to get a bunch of things in case this baby actually shows face this century. Then we went home and I was just too tired to go out with the boys. JL decided to take NHL to the park to get some energy out. So the two of them (armed with camera of course – it is JL we’re talking about here) went to the park for about an hour and a half.
NHL is quite the daredevil this year. He has no fear of anything and went from place to place climbing, jumping, running and making daddy tired! JL took a bunch of photos and a video (that will be posted later) to share with me. When the boys were about to head home my parents actually arrived at the park to surprise them. They stayed another half hour and were amazed with how well NHL was doing on things that he wouldn’t/couldn’t do last year. Below are are some photos of NHL’s park fun with daddy.

After the park the boys came back home to show me the video and pictures. Then we decided we weren’t hungry enough for a real lunch. So we went to Kurvers for soft ice cream – YUMMY! Then on the way home a certain little 3 year old fell asleep. We transfered him into bed and then it was time to work on laundry and the tub in the bathroom. A few hours later he woke up and it was time to make pizza.
Now we’re all just relaxing and going to see what happens in the morning when I got to see my OB at 9:00. *sigh* This little monkey is going to be a trouble maker since he’s clearly not listening to me already!

It was bound to happen. NHL is officially turning into a computer geek. Just like his daddy he wants to be on the computer all the time. Mommy found a Harry and the Bucket of Dinosaurs website and he’s obsessed with it. I think of it as therapy since he definitely is practicing with the mouse use. Apparently at school he loves to do games on their computer too. Now we just need to finish cleaning up the upstairs so he has his own computer to use and not just ours.
Here are some photos of NHL the computer geek:
