New Jacket!

So I have really be trying not to spend any money, but Hudson has grown out of his robot coat and needed a new one. One really nice thing about working at Wal Mart is that I get to see when the new stuff gets put out on the shelves. There were only $35 dollar winter coats for a while, (Which don't get me wrong, is not a bad price, but out budget is soooo tight right now) and then they put out these nice $14 coats and it seems really warm and it matches his snow pants. :) I got it a size too big so that he's got room to wear a sweater under it and has some room to grow.

Also, lately Hudson and Lincoln have been especially cute.

Lincoln and I decided to go eat Lunch with Hudson at HeadStart today. It was fun to see him, and it was nice to get a free lunch too- We talked and ate, and Hudson showed me around his classroom a little, and introduced me to some of his friends. His teachers say he's well behaved and a good listener, and that sometimes he can get frustrated with the other children.

After seeing the behavior of some of them, I can see why.

But it is still very early in the year and they will all settle into a routine soon!

Hudson stayed home from HeadStart today because last night he threw up a little in the sink. I think it was just because he was coughing, but I wanted to make sure that it wasn't anything worse. Of course by the the time 8 AM rolled around, he felt fine and was pretty mad that he had to miss a day of preschool. He'll probably be good to go tomorrow, but for today it's a low key rest at home day.

Lincoln's cough is gone. His gums are bugging him, but otherwise is a smiling happy baby. We are starting him on Rice Cereal today or tomorrow. Tomorrow he will be 5 months old! WOW!
Time really flies.

TGIM

Thank goodness it's Monday. I know, that seems counterintuitive, but Mondays are Hudson's day off from Headstart, so I got to sleep in a little bit today. And when I say a little bit- I mean a little bit. Hudson got up early as usual and wasn't content to snuggle in my bed, but wanted to run around the house and demand I join him. But not having to get him on the bus was a nice change of pace because I had to work last night.

Last night was Lincoln's first night in his crib. I can't believe he's already too big for his bassinet. He has lost all signs of newborn-ness and is now a chubby heffalump. :) He's the sweetest mildest baby- he's almost always grinning! I will post more photos of them soon.

Story From Grandma when I was at work:

Grandma and Grandpa Moore took Hudson out to run errands around town and stopped to get gas at a gas station. Hudson wanted to watch Grandpa pump gas, but couldn't turn around because his seat belt on his booster seat was too snug.

"Grandma, how do I unclip my shoulder strap?"

Grandma loosened the strap a bit and told him that he was too young to know how to unclip it by himself.

"Well," he said suddenly very serious, "When I grow up and marry Britton and I have to put her kids in their car seats I will need to know that."

"Well," said grandma, "when that happens we'll make sure you know."

As I said before, I have not been feeding him lines about marrying Britton- it's all his own idea. And apparently, he thinks about it quite often... (Sigh)

Show and Tell!

Hudson had his first day of Head Start for this year today. It was only a half day, but his job on the chart this week is to be the Show and Tell person. He is SOOO excited. He has chosen his red truck, his spider-man foot ball, and the photo book from his great-grandma that he filled with pictures of his favorite people and favorite things like post cards. His favorite picture in his picture book is the one of him and Britton Tunnell at the family fun center. Sometimes he sits and stares at it and then crys because he misses her. He tells everyone he's going to marry her in the temple. He's pretty devoted for not having seen her in over a year. :)

I wonder what he'll say tomorrow when he shows everyone- but he has forbidden me from coming, which is just as well because I have to work tonight and will probably be too tired anyway.

Lincoln has a nasty cough- he's a little bit crankywhen he is trying to sleep, but the doctor assures me that it's just a cold. He's getting better at rolling and he's also gettting really good at grasping toys and things. And I have a feeling that unlike Hudson, he's going to want to put EVERYTHING in his mouth. (Sigh)

Today we took Hudson to the Dentist to get his choppers polished. He went back all by himself, because apparently he's big enough to do so... :( when exactly did that happen? They cleaned his teeth well and said that his teeth look good. The only concern they have is with his underbite- which will probably require some orthadontic work in the next few years. I wonder how we'll be able to afford it.

But he had a good time, and got to pick a prize from the treasure chest. He looked at a pencil and then put it down because "it doesn't have a tip on it". When I explained that it needs to be sharpened before it gets a tip he decided to take it home after all.

Grandma Griffin bought Hudson a bank with a section for tithing- so for Family Home Evening tonight, we'll be doing a lesson on tithing. He hasn't paid tithing yet, but since he is almost 5 (YIKES!) he thinks it's time he started. So tonight we will practice finding out what 10% is and we'll use his bank and show him how to fill out a tithing slip. Should be fun.

I am thankful that he's learning the gospel and that he enjoys family home evenings!

Hudson is a big brother! Ya, I know it's late- old news and all, but I got a bit busy what with Jason being gone all summer in L.A. So here are a few pictures of our newest family member. Lincoln Henry Moore- Born April 23 2010- 8lbs 6 oz- 21 1/2 inches long.
