In Remembrance of Mr. Krabs

Mr. Krabs
Nov 2008-July 2011

You found us in that IKEA store

Oliver could not let you go

You're yellow and as bright as the sun

Your tiny eyes do glow. 

You were Oli's favourite friend

He took you everywhere

But you grew old and got all gross

You had nasty stuff in your hair

I'm sorry we lost you Mr Krabs

We looked for you for a while

And whenever Oli asks for you

I'll think of you and smile

Here's some of your best moments:

 

We love you Mr Krabs!

Oli's first picture

So Oli has been colouring and drawing for a while but it usually just looks like a big mess, which is fine! He always shows his drawings to me and tells me what they are. Today he showed me a drawing and I was so proud of him because you can actually tell it's a face!! But that's not all, he even told me the story behind the picture. He said "Oli is crying because he misses mummy." And if you look at the picture you can tell the top two circles are eyes with tears drawn underneath, so cute. I know this is a small thing, but it just made my day! Here's his work:

Date night!

Last night we went to see the last Harry Potter movie, it was sooooo good! I dropped Tim off at the movie theater a couple of hours early and then took the boys to our friends house (thanks Iverson's!) I cried a lot in the movie, it was very sad, but amazing. I almost feel like it's the end of an era. I read the first book when I was 12 and feel like I've grown up with them, this one was by far the best!

A couple of Sickos.....

So the past few days in the Oblad household have looked something like this:

Our poor little guys were feeling poorly, which caused them to basically lay down all day. Can't say I really minded, it was actually a nice break!

They're better now :)

Happy Birthday to me.....

So I recently turned 25 and I had a lovely day! Tim surprised me by dropping me off for a 1-hour massage and with this personalized cake:

We also went out in the evening to see a movie and got some grub without kids.....lovely.

But my favourite present was driving to Denver and getting to eat this!!!! Divinity.

it's better when we're together.....

We few, we lucky few, we band of brothers. Is two enough to be a band? Anyway, here's why I love having two. Whenever they play or are doing something together, they always sit very close to one another. If Oli moves, JJ goes and sits right next to him, it's very cute.

Here's some of the things we've done today:

Playing in the sand at the park

Taking a bath to remove the sand!

Playing tools

I was actually really proud of Oli during this one. He's usually quite possessive over his toys and likes to play alone, since JJ usually destroys whatever he's doing, but today he was really patient with JJ and was showing him how to hammer the nails (all plastic!) was sooooo cute to watch.

A trip to the store

Having some quiet time watching a movie

Just before bed

Goodnight kiss!

I love having two boys, I hope they'll stay best buddies.

Teething and cuteness

Our little baby JJ is almost 14 months and it feels like he has been teething non-stop for the past year! I don't remember noticing it as much with Oli, or him really being affected much by it, but poor JJ has had it rough. He's been very upset, had fevers, millions of poops a day, a constant runny nose, and just been generally fussy a lot of the time, sometimes his gums bleed too which makes me sad. He's always walking around finding things to chomp on, usually it's his fingers, or occasionally Tim's shoulder! He finally just got his 4th molar so I'm hoping that's it for a while!! Still.....we love this little man!
