Darn you Apple, for making your phone so entertaining and simplistic that even a 2-year old can use it…and lose it.

Seriously though, I’m usually super happy to hand over my phone for entertainment value when one of the boys is stuck somewhere like the doctor’s office or the hallway during someone else’s class. The boys, however, want to play with it a LOT more than that. Brady will push a stool over to the charger and get it down to play “light saber”. This is an app that makes light saber noises when you move the phone around. Bear will gallop around the house waving the phone to make the noises. I saw him doing this exact thing last night…before dinner. I made a mental note to find it after I finished setting the table, but I didn’t and then I couldn’t find it this morning. We had the following conversation in the car on the way to Logan’s school:

Me: Brady, do you know where mommy’s iphone is?

Brady: I pay light saber!

Me: Do you know where the phone is now?

Brady: at Bady’s house (at Brady’s house)

Me: I think it’s lost Bear

Brady: I fine it for yew!

Me: Wow, that would be very helpful!

When he failed to deliver on his promise of finding the phone, I decided to think like a 2-year old…who likes trains…and the play kitchen…and “culering”

voila! Of course it was dead…and covered in a slight coating of Brady…um…guck. (Least anyone think I’m daft, I forgot to mention that my first move was to call the phone several times while walking through the house…this isn’t the first time it’s been misplaced…although it’s usually stuck in the couch somewhere which is my doing)

I’m super excited for St. Patrick’s Day tomorrow!! We’re mostly Scottish around here, but it’s turned out to be a significant day in our lives on many occasions. Tomorrow, for example, marks the 10-year anniversary of the day Brian and I “met”.

We started the week with a few crafts. I was planning to make rainbow cupcakes with the boys today, but I doubt they will come inside long enough (they are currently out playing with a friend down the street). I also have a scavenger hunt for them tomorrow. I’m big on scavenger hunts lately…which will be obvious if I ever get around to posting about Logan’s birthday party.

Here are our crafts:

Last year’s Easter egg tree turned Shamrock tree (oriental trading company crafts):

Rainbow pot: Paint 1 flower pot black, use paper shredder to shred 3 pieces of green paper and stuff into pot. Bend pipe cleaners, one at a time, into the pot to make a rainbow. Tomorrow’s plan is to hide this pot & fill it with gold (aka: Rollo's) <—scavenger hunt
