I’ve been slacking on the blog lately and I’m sure you’re all dying to know what we’ve been up to! The boys have been busy in school- this month is women’s history month and Xander is learning about many great women. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Last week was St. Patrick’s Day and the leprechaun found us in our new house. Xander was pretty sure that Santa, the Elf, the tooth fairy and the leprechaun are all connected so they all got the news we moved at the same time. He was right. That silly leprechaun left some cool surprises for the boys! <\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n

Last weekend, Xander started basketball class. He’s been very excited and was ready in his sweatband, wristband and basketball outfit. Nate said that when they arrived, he got a little nervous because none of the other kids had all the gear, so he removed his sweatbands and headband, but as he got more confident, he put them back on. <\/p><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Xander was in the 4\/5 year old class, and in what may go down in history as the peak athletic achievement of his life, the teacher told Nate Xander should move to the kindergarten class, because he was TOO GOOD for the 4\/5 class! It turns out, all that dribbling practice with Grandma Debbie really paid off! <\/p>\n

While Xander was killing it on the b-ball court, Gussie and I were running errands. At some point along the way, he managed to jab a straw right into his eye and started SCREAMING. I pulled over and, yes, there was a visible scratch across his eye, so I called the doctor and made an appointment right away. He pretty much screamed nonstop until we arrived. Luckily he just had a scratch and the doctor gave us some antibiotic drops and a patch (and a sucker) and all was well. Patching his eye lasted less than 24 hours, but by the next morning, his eye felt much better and he has since made a full recovery. 
\"\"
Last Sunday Xander lost his second tooth! Now he has a decent sized hole in his mouth that he can push peas and other small food through. 
\"\"
\"\"<\/div>\n

This weekend was busy and fun! On Saturday, Xander got a new bike (his way much too small) and a basketball hoop for the backyard! We are ready for the Spring to be here! <\/p>\n

\"\"
The second week of basketball went well. Xander had a new basketball outfit, but decided the sweatband was too hot (wristbands were still good though).
\"\"<\/div>\n

On Saturday afternoon, the Nelson crew came over for a busy afternoon of playing with the puppy, decorating cupcakes and running around like only 5 energetic kids can! They ate snacks, ran, screamed, and all whined a lot when it was time to leave, so I think it was a huge success. <\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

Hudson is growing and is now 22 pounds! When he walks, he drags his back paws and his nails have ground down so much his toes were bleeding. We’ve tried skipping walks for a few days, but every time we’d go back to walking, he would bleed. So when we were at the vet for his shots, I asked and they suggested buying him some shoes until he learned to pick up his feet. So now we have a puppy in shoes and it looks ridiculous, but they didn’t seem to bother him much. And Nate and I were surprised by just how loud the dragging sound was once he had shoes on, so it’s not surprising he was getting so beat up. <\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"
I’ve been baking nonstop and my very small business is keeping me busy. I like selling cookies because it allows me to be creative and bake as much as I want. But I don’t have a desire to grow- I don’t want to be TOO busy with cookies or have it become stressful. I am gaining a small following though, which is fun.
