5K!
Chevy and I finished our 5K today! It was lots of fun (once we were done with the running part : ). When I walked in after the race the first thing Chris asked me was "Did you win?". I told him I wasn't the first person to cross the finish line, so he looked disappointed and said, "Oh, so you lost." He is definitely a Crum, if you're not first you're last, right guys?
We got brunch with Chevy and Tom after the race. Chris ate his weight in a salmon omelet, and Bryce ate French fries and ketchup. I'm very much hoping Bryce grows out of his picky phase. After we got home we all took some serious naps. The bottom picture is Chris with his name he drew all by himself on the iPad. It's amazing how much more interested in writing he is when I let him do it on the iPad instead of paper. His writing has really improved since he beginning of the summer.We're super proud of him.

Ikea
A friend and I had been planning to make an Ikea trip and today was the big day! Since we're in NY, and nothing is simple here, it takes a lot of walking and 2 ferries to get there. It was actually pretty lovely. The weather was nice, the ferries were on time, and the kiddos were really happy to be on a boat. They thought the whole trip was about them, little did they know the moms were having just as much fun picking out silicon cupcake cups and things of the sort.
Here's Bryce up and 'at em this morning! He slept surprisingly decent considering the night we had just had. He was awake at 5:45, ready to fight some fires!
On the ferry! Window seats for everyone!
Putting on a show in front of a red shag rug, obviously.
Trying out a bed. Chris was so tired at this point I had to force him off of the bed because I was pretty sure he was about to fall asleep.
We made the double ferry trek home with our purchases. Safe, sound, exhausted, and ready to bust out the little Ikea hex key and build a chair!

short post
I was just about to start writing when Conan called for me. I'll get to what happened in a minute, but needless to say, I'm not up for writing much now. I'll give you a few bullet points from our day though...
* Saw a new organization idea last night on pinterest and decided I needed to implement immediately. http://lovelycraftyhome.com/2011/01/19/new-year-new-organization/
* Bryce was up for a good 3 hours straight last night because I refused to pick him up out of his crib and hold him. Is he really 16 months old and not sleeping through the night?? Unfortunately, yes.
* Walked with Chris and Bryce to Union Square in the morning to get said organizational tool.
* Met up with Chris' friends and Moms from school at the playground. The kids played for hours (2, 3? , I don't know for sure, but it was a long time.
* Decided to treat the kids to McDonalds for lunch. (this is where our problem of the night stems from, I'm afraid). All of them were so happy. And quiet. And well mannered. It's amazing what the chicken nugget can accomplish with 4 year olds.
* Took the kids back home for naps. We had a big afternoon, and there was no way I was going to power through no nap with Chris after all of the walking and playground time.
* Filed like a mad woman while the boys were napping (it's an exciting life I lead, I know).
* The boys woke up! Time for our adventure... Harlem! Chevy and I are doing a 5K this weekend and the number pick up was there. Chris was very excited to get to take a train he had never taken before
* We go on the train and things were fine for about 5 minutes until Bryce started getting really fussy. I tried everything, but quickly realized there was no way he was going to last another 100 blocks on the train without an intervention.
* Got off at Times Square and searched frantically for a news stand with a snack before the next train left. Found one. Trail mix, candy and fruit snacks. Bryce can't eat nuts, definitely no candy. Fruit snacks it is.
* Get back on the train. Bryce loves the fruit snacks. He's so happy and is wolfing them down. There's no stopping this kid. I think twice about them, but we're aways from dinner, so I don't worry much.
* Get off in Harlem. Slightly nervous at first, but the area we stopped was hopping. There was a huge choir singing outside the building where we were picking the numbers at.
* Sigh of relief. Done.
* Get back on the train. A man pulls out his electric guitar, and then proceeds to plug it into his amp and start singing. About 2 feet away from Bryce's head. Bryce cries. And cries. Man keeps singing totally crazy, inappropriate songs the entire time and then asks us for money.
*Finally make it back home. Conan got off work early and is home! Eat dinner. Bryce won't touch his food. Hmm.
* Outside play time. Kickball!
* Baths and bedtime.
* Conan calls for me. Bryce has puked all over him. Can I hold him so he can jump in the shower? Sure. Grab Bryce. Get puked all over as well. Clean for a good hour.
* Never, ever feed Bryce McDonalds and fruit snacks in the same day. Probably never feed him either ever again.
* Blog entirely too many details about our crazy day.
* The end! I'm going to go sleep through the night (bwahahaha!)

Phone pictures
Here are a few pictures from yesterday and today that were on my phone. Guess what we did today? The playground? How did you know? I think that's the problem with posting everyday. My sweet readers are starting to realize that our days are pretty much the same thing over and over.
What's that? You need a bathroom story to make things more exciting? Ok, don't twist my arm...
Today Chris came running in the kitchen to tell me that he and Bryce had just made a collage. "Great" I was so excited the boys were playing nicely together, and making art, wow! I come in to investigate and Chris said, "Bryce held the green and blue pick-up sticks in the toilet, and I peed on them". Wow. Not what I was expecting! Needless to say, our pick-up sticks game is a couple sticks short now. Seriously, how do they come up with these things? And, collage? That's taking some serious liberty with that term if you ask me.
Ok, here are a few cute pictures of them to make up for their grossness.
Playing in the house with Bryce's little friend at the playground today.
Bryce feeding Noah. I love how Bryce was doing the "say ahh" face like I do with him.
Chris climbing up the crazy playground equipment all by. Go Chris!
Chris and his friends found a hide out under the fire truck.
This was yesterday, Bryce plopped himself down with all the bid kids playing Beyblades. It was adorable, he just sat and watched and didn't disturb them at all.
Chris getting pushed on the swings.

Crazy boys
The boys had lots of fun today. It was gorgeous outside, so we did lots of runs to the playground. We've started Chris on a school schedule, so no naps, but early bedtime. Don't feel too bad for me. The boys have napped together for a good hour and a half every single day. It has been so nice, and I'm really sad to say goodbye to the double nap. It has been fun these past couple of days to have time with just Chris while Bryce snoozes. Today we built a Lego creator set (thanks Aunt Buggy!). Here are a few pics.
Cheesers! (Literally, Bryce had mac & cheese all over his face).
I wouldn't have known how this happened unless I watched it with my own eyes. I was unloading bags after we had run errands and Bryce went to a bag and got out the paper towels and used all of his strength to bring them into the kitchen. I was impressed with his helpfulness, until I realized he was doing it so he could use it as a stool to reach something on the counter. He was very proud of himself for thinking of that one!
Chris was trying to put together a 300 piece Winnie the Pooh puzzle in this pic. Bryce was being a bit of a distraction.
They were trying to balance the pieces on their head.
Success!

Good news, bad news
We went to the doc today for Chris. Good news, no coxsackie! Bad news, ringworm. I have no idea where it came from. Maybe the puppy he was petting last week? Who knows. It's pretty easy to treat, and not contagious, so that's a plus. We got some playground time in this afternoon after our quarantine status was lifted. Chris can now climb on top of the slide like the big kids (we're in trouble : ). The other picture is Chris pushing Bryce on the swing. He was slightly rougher than I would have preferred, but it seemed to be the best thing that happened to Bryce all day.
