As you may know, Caleb and Logan love the water. They get all excited when they hear the water running for bathtime (they do a naked run down the hall and it's pretty cute). And, now it's finally nice enough to play with water outside!
At the lake this weekend they had fun throwing rocks into the water, splashing around, and they even got brave enough to venture into the waves a little bit with Mike.
We have a little pool that we set up in the driveway last night. I gave the boys haircuts on the porch then they had "bathtime" in the pool (aka skinny dipping!). They enjoyed splashing around, but didn't want to sit down at all.
They played in the pool again this afternoon. Still didn't want to sit down, but liked it when I took a bucket and poured water over them. They were content for quite awhile to just stand there and splash.
It really is much more fun than what this post makes it sound - this may be my most unenthusiastic post yet, but I don't have the energy to think up a more creative description. :)

camp
Well, I wouldn't say it was our most stellar camping trip. Certainly could have been worse, but could have been better, too. As if camping with two 18-month-olds wasn't hard enough, let's throw in a whole bunch of cold and rain.
First, we were disappointed that we weren't able to get to the campground until Saturday afternoon when we had been planning on Friday evening. With the way the weather was last week (rain, rain, rain) Mike ended up having to work Saturday morning. But, maybe getting there Friday night would have been too much for us anyways...
Memorial Day tradition, we went camping with my parents, my brothers and their families, and my sister-in-laws sister and her family. Everyone has a camper except us. At this stage in life with small children, I have no desire to do any camping whatsoever without having access to someone's camper for cooking, getting out of the rain, etc.
The first night the boys took a very long time to fall asleep, but once they did they were good for the night. Sunday afternoon naptime went pretty well - that's when the worst of the rain went through and I guess that helped them sleep. With the way it was coming down I would think it would be too loud in a tent, but they did fine. They took awhile to fall asleep again that night, but then did fine.
Let's see...we took a few walks to the beach. The first couple times it was still cold out, but today it got nice and toasty first thing in the morning. Of course the boys loved the water. In the campground they rode their tractors around, played with Boden's trains some, saw lots of dogs, and had fun running around in Papa and Grammy's camper when it was too wet to be outside.

boo
Sometime earlier last week we were bringing the boys up to their room for bedtime, and Mike got to their room before us, waited behind the door, and jumped out and yelled when we came in. Caleb was fairly startled. So, yesterday when we were going upstairs for naptime, Caleb beat the rest of us to the room, waited behind the door, and jumped out and yelled when we came in! It was SO funny!

van
First of all, I'm keeping my fingers crossed, Caleb has stayed in his crib!
Now, the van. Here's my vehicle history: through high school and most of college I was blessed to have a vehicle provided by my parents. It was NOT by any means stylish, but it did the job and for that I am thankful. So, my senior year of college when I went out to choose my very own car I had a few specific things I wanted (wanted, not needed...). I wanted it to be black, have a sun roof, and cd player. I ended up with a red car, no sun roof, no cd player. It was a great car, though, and I was happy to drive it. Fast forward to the car being totaled (not my fault!), and then Mike and I are car shopping together. That's when we got the Escape. Blue, no sun roof, but I DID finally get a cd player! After awhile the cd player broke and never got fixed. So, imagine my joy when we found this minivan and, oddly enough, it's the coolest vehicle I've ever owned. It's dark gray (getting closer to black...), has a cd player, sun roof, and extra bonus, leather interior! Well, of course, last week the sun roof broke. Thankfully, it was open and wouldn't shut, so we were forced to get it fixed. :) Had to drive around for a few days with a towel stuffed in there when it was raining (it was stuck flipped up, not all the way open), but now it's fixed and I've got my nice vehicle back. Now I just wait for the cd player to break or something... :)

Day 5
Day 5 of our crib saga. Yesterday I caught Caleb trying to get out of his crib. I'm thinking another day or two of trying to train him, and if we're not successful it's time for another solution.
Yesterday Caleb also got out of his exersaucer again. I had the boys in exersaucers watching tv so I could have a few minutes to get things done, and normally they're too busy watching tv to try anything, but after awhile Caleb got out (Emily, this was just a few minutes after you stopped over. So my peace and quiet was almost done...).
So far, Caleb has never gotten out of a pack'n'play, but he can jerk it around some to get to a light switch he wants to play with or something if he's on the hard floor. Now I've moved his pack'n'play to the rug so he can't move it.
Sigh.

no success
So, we're still working on the whole "stay in your crib" thing. The couple times we've caught Caleb trying to get out he's been disciplined, and he doesn't like it, but apparently he has a poor memory. This afternoon my mom was over so I could help her put together a photo book. We were working in my office when we heard a very loud thump. Knowing what it was I quickly ran to the room, and yes, there was Caleb on the floor (crying by this point). Not that a fall is good, but I'm glad no limbs were caught in the slats this time, and maybe this fall was enough to keep him from trying again?? We shall see.
Today we went to lunch with some friends that I used to work with and the boys did very well. Last time I went out with these friends Caleb ate his cheese way too fast and then puked big time. Rather embarrassing.
Mike is still recovering from the 25k. And for some reason he's lost his voice as well. You know Mike, he's a bit of a talker, so it's a bit frustrating for him. :)

eventful
Eventful day here at the Krol's! First, Mike ran the Riverbank Run 25k. Weather was a little iffy for spectators, but really didn't end up bad at all. Mike was running with my brothers, and my sis-in-law and I (and the kids) were able to see all the guys at almost the halfway point. They were pretty much still together at that point in the race and at a very good pace. As soon as they went past we hurried back to the car and quick got to downtown GR so we could see them finish. (Quite a feat for two moms, four kids, and lots of traffic, closed streets, etc.) At the finish the guys were no longer together - my brother Mike finished in just under two hours, Eric in just over two hours, and Mike finished in 2hr 20min. Overall he is very happy with that time and I am so proud of him. Of course the initial goal was to finish in under two hours, but due to shin splints he hasn't even been able to run in about a month. Poor guy was in obvious pain at the end, and I guess it was his hips, not even the shin splints. I didn't get a photo at the halfway point because I was jumping up and down cheering, and at the finish I took video clips, which I'll try to get posted later.
My dad also ran the 5k race and did very well. Unfortunately, his race started at 7am and there was no way I could get out there with the boys that early to see him run.
So, we finally get back home and it's naptime for the boys. They did very well considering Caleb didn't nap at all yesterday, they got to bed late last night, and got up early this morning. You'd think they would just zonk out for a good solid nap... A little while after naptime I heard Caleb fussing a little bit, and it just sounded like a slightly different cry than normal so I thought maybe I should peek in their room. So I look in the room and there's one empty crib. I find Caleb on the floor in between the wall and his crib with his leg caught in the slats of his crib. I think he must have been there at least a few minutes because his leg looked like he was losing some circulation, but thankfully nothing major. Poor thing! We have no idea how we didn't hear a loud thump or anything. I sat up with him for quite awhile (of course afraid to put him in his crib...) but he wouldn't fall asleep. Eventually we put him back in his crib, but he didn't sleep at all (great). And when we went in to get the boys later, Caleb was straddling his crib rails. Not sure if he had been sitting like that for awhile, or if we just caught him at the right time before he fell down. Tonight at bedtime when we were still in the room he started to put his foot over the edge and got a pretty firm talking to about it, so we'll see how things go. I'm monitoring the room fairly close until they fall asleep...
Backing up in the week now, we had some great weather for outside playtime. One day I set out a couple buckets of water for the boys the play with, they loved it! Kept them occupied for awhile. I just wish you all could see every little thing they do, they're so cute. When the buckets were a little low on water I filled them up with my watering can. Then after a bucket got dumped out, Logan came right over to get my watering can and tried to fill up his bucket himself. And the looks on their faces when they tried to drink out of the buckets, oh so cute.
A couple nights ago, Mike (and the boys) put together a wagon they got at their first Christmas. I was very curious to see how they would do riding in the wagon (if they would actually sit down good or not). They did great and loved it. Mike took them all over the yard and they did not want to quit. They especially enjoyed going fast down hills.
Speaking of things they love to do and don't want to quit... Oh, the life of a toddler - when you're having tons of fun and you have to stop what you're doing it's like your world is just crashing in. Drama! Having to come in from playing outside, having to get out of the wagon...things like that. One minute everyone's having fun, the next minute there are two very sad little boys. And by very sad I mean screaming and throwing a bit of a tantrum (that's more Caleb than Logan).
Another interesting thing I've observed lately - (they've actually done this here and there for quite a while, but it's just more consistent now) they know pretty much all the things they're not supposed to touch or mess with. They will look at something and say "no-no" and then go right ahead and touch it. Or after we tell them "no" for something, they'll say "no-no" and go on doing what they weren't supposed to do. At times I get a little frustrated that they obviously know better, but still don't do what they are supposed to, but then I realized, are we as adults really all that different??
The boys say "doggie" all the time. I have got to catch it on camera because it's one of the cutest sounding things. Logan says "ball" alot. And I mean ALOT. More than I can come up with a response to every time, but many times he's saying so insistently like he expects a response from me. They both say "amen" ("me-me") when we pray, and many times before we pray - they've got it figured out that they get their milk after we say "amen" so they're trying to speed up the process. :)

beautiful
I don't know if I can express how much I love having nicer weather! I suppose the cold, dark, long, Michigan winters help me appreciate it even more. It's just so much fun to be outside, and it's a ton easier to get out of the house, too.
Thursday night I took just Logan to the store with me. I think this was only the second time I've gone away with just one child! Wow. It was so easy.
Friday I decided to try having the boys sit in boosters at the table. At first I wasn't sure if they were ready, but I think we're making progress. The biggest part of this change is getting them to eat off plates, and they're doing fairly well. It feels so strange (but good) at dinnertime to have all four of us sitting around the table. My boys are growing up! Below is a pic I took at the first meal, but now we've got the boosters on different chairs and they sit at each end of the table.
Friday afternoon I took the boys with me to a little celebration for my mom's retirement (this was for her volunteers, big celebration to come later this month). They did fairly well considering it was almost naptime and we were in the library so they couldn't just run free. On the way home I didn't want them to fall asleep in the car (because then they wouldn't nap at home and all three of us NEED them to have their full naptime at home...), so I rolled down the windows for them. First, yet another reason to be thankful for the great weather. And second, I love it that they make minivans with windows that roll down in the back! That was one of my little finds after we bought the van that I was pretty geeked about. Anyways, the boys LOVED having the windows down. I wish I could have gotten a recording of them yelling in delight. So, yes, they stayed awake in the car and then slept at home. :)
Friday night we walked around downtown Holland a bit. Tulip Time was just beginning and it was a beautiful night to be out. Many people have their dogs with them, and the boys enjoyed seeing all the doggies. :) We took an ice cream break, and Mike and I had to share a little too much out of our dishes - we'll have to stop going out once we have to buy extra for the boys. :)
Saturday was another beautiful day. Each of the boys got to ride the lawnmower with Mike for quite awhile. And they had fun playing with the dogs. The dogs do so great with them, I love it. They (especially Logan) are always going after Sadie's ball, and she doesn't mind it a bit. She might get a little impatient when she's waiting for Logan to throw the ball for her, but she never gets even close to being aggressive. Caleb has found yet another way to escape confinement (I don't think I mentioned that a couple weeks ago he got completely out of his exersaucer, just about gave me a heart attack). The boys were playing inside the little fence while Mike replaced a door and I was working inside. Caleb was able to pull the fence down and get out - thankfully he ran towards Mike rather than away...
Sunday was a nice and relaxing Mother's Day. We had a yummy steak dinner at home (Steenwyk beef anyone???), and of course enjoyed some time outside with the boys. They had fun running down the small hill in the side yard (under the tree, by the field...). Caleb would stand at the top, do his little excited yell, then run/fall down the hill. So cute. I actually sat outside and read a book while all three of my boys took a nap. I might even soon finish the book I started in January... Then I'll need to decide what to read next. I've got tons of books I want to read, but knowing it takes months to get through one, I need to choose wisely.
Last night I was putting diapers in the dryer, and Caleb decided to help.
Oh, I just remembered something cute. For Mother's Day Mike got me a very pretty bird figurine. I had it out on the table, and Logan was very intrigued by it when he got to the table for breakfast. Kept pointing at it and so I was saying that it's a bird and making somewhat of a "chirp chirp" noise (not very good). Now Logan points at it and does his own noise, which sounds alot like "choo choo". It's pretty cute. Wish I could have cameras rolling 24/7.

no title
Wracking my brain and really cannot come up with a title. I'm sure that's a great disappointment for my many, many readers. :)
Well, as most of you know, we recently experienced the loss of our baby who we were eagerly looking forward to meeting face to face in November. Actually, as I heard someone say on the radio today, we didn't "lose" her, we know where she is - we'll just have to wait until we get to Heaven to see her. And, no, we don't know the gender of the baby, I'm just choosing a pronoun. I'm not going to share my thoughts and feelings here - partly because I'm very private about things like this, and partly because it would be a huge jumbled, rambling mess. We so, so appreciate everyone's thoughts and prayers during this time, it means alot.
When you have two toddlers, life must go on, and for that I am grateful. I mean, you can't help but smile when you've got two little boys being silly and cute. And, you just have to get up and deal with the everyday duties.
Last Thursday we took the boys to the GR Children's Museum. Cool place! Lots of fun stuff for the boys to look at and play with. I'm pretty sure we came home with a cold bug, but oh well. Mike and I both have colds, the boys both have runny noses. Caleb also has a rash all over his torso. First noticed it Monday evening, hasn't cleared up so now I've given him Benadryl, hope it helps!
Yesterday afternoon I had a photography lesson. I'm just too busy at home to do much photography work, but it's not too hard to fit in a lesson here and there and I really enjoy that. I think I am shooting at our church's youth banquet next weekend, that should be fun! I'm pretty sure I'm going to walk out of that feeling really, really old. You know, I'm really, truly in my thirties now. Ouch.
The weather is very slowly improving here and feeling more like spring. We really enjoy it when we can have some outside playtime. Logan finds a stick right away to walk around with the whole time. Caleb has gotten into picking dandelions, good thing we have a very large yard full of them.
Logan has really gotten into saying 'no' alot. Not really out of defiance yet, and he says it so terribly cute. I wonder how long that will last... I think he's also saying 'tree' and I know there's one other that I'm totally drawing a blank on... Oh, he kind of says 'ga ga' for 'all gone' or 'all done'. And today he definitely said, 'choo choo' - we can hear the train from our house and their ears always perk up when they hear it. I'm pretty sure Caleb repeated it after Logan said it, too.
I think Caleb recently had a growth spurt. Just seemed like he got a bunch taller all of the sudden. I did have to get him different sized shoes than Logan, but I'm going to keep them in the same sized clothes as long as I can! It's just too hard to keep track of different sizes when they're that close.
I'm sure there was some other cute thing they do that I was going to report on, but I can't remember, the boys have been awake for a bit now, and Mike is on his way home, so I guess I'd better go!

The weather is very slowly improving here and feeling more like spring. We really enjoy it when we can have some outside playtime. Logan finds a stick right away to walk around with the whole time. Caleb has gotten into picking dandelions, good thing we have a very large yard full of them.
Logan has really gotten into saying 'no' alot. Not really out of defiance yet, and he says it so terribly cute. I wonder how long that will last... I think he's also saying 'tree' and I know there's one other that I'm totally drawing a blank on... Oh, he kind of says 'ga ga' for 'all gone' or 'all done'. And today he definitely said, 'choo choo' - we can hear the train from our house and their ears always perk up when they hear it. I'm pretty sure Caleb repeated it after Logan said it, too.
I think Caleb recently had a growth spurt. Just seemed like he got a bunch taller all of the sudden. I did have to get him different sized shoes than Logan, but I'm going to keep them in the same sized clothes as long as I can! It's just too hard to keep track of different sizes when they're that close.
I'm sure there was some other cute thing they do that I was going to report on, but I can't remember, the boys have been awake for a bit now, and Mike is on his way home, so I guess I'd better go!
