Uncle Russ's Treasure Hunt

One of the shows Chase enjoys watching is "Blues Clues". I don't think it's on tv anymore but thanks to Netflix we are able to get the seasons for him to watch. One of the episodes has to do with a treasure hunt. He has watched that one over and over. So Russ decided to make him a treasure hunt. He ordered treasure chests online and made up some fancy clues. He surprised Chase last Sunday with the hunt. He was so excited running though the house finding all the clues. He was on a mission!! Here are just a few of the pics I took.

His 1st Clue

On the hunt with help from dad

He found another clue

Brayden on the hunt too

The hunt was to much for Fonzie

Russ took pictures of where the clues were hidden and than printed them out and tied them with ribbon.

The treasure hunt heads to Chase's bedroom

Woody held a key to the chest

The Finally Clue

Lead him to Russ's bathtub

Using the key to open up the treasure

Here it is!!! It was full of Hershey's Treasures candy and a set of real boxing gloves

They fit and he's ready to box anyone and anything

Eric was his first victim

TKO!!!

The CHAMP!!

And Uncle Russ got mommy a gift too. A new way to take the boys temp. So far haven't had to use it as everyone has been healthy since Jan.

Also Russ got Chase a set of books for his Tag Reader

I don't know if mommy can every do such a fancy hunt but we will be doing another one again soon. This was only a couple of the clues. I think Russ had 13 in all.

The story behind why Chase is now shirtless in a lot of the pictures is he's on a boxing kick due to the WII and XBOX boxing games. He says "Boxers don't wear shirts so I can't either". I tell you we are so glad he can dress himself now but a lot of days he starts with a shirt but soon is shirtless. He has the large Hulk Hands and would use those as boxing gloves. But they are very annoying because they make noise. I think Russ was sick of hearing them as much as us hence the boxing gloves for the treasure.

The first night with the gloves he was trying to box everyone but has since learned no boxing Fonzie and Brayden. It's fun to see him take interest in a new sport. I will never let him be a boxer so I will let him get it out of his system now.

Chaseism-Funny/Interesting statements by Chase Bjorgaard the 3 year old

-Chase tells me his ears hurt but only when he rubs them. I ask him is there stuff coming out of them why are you rubbing them? He says "no my brains are just getting bigger."

-Chase picks out a ring from the Chucky Cheese prizes with his game tickets. He gives me the ring and says "this is for you mommy." I tell him thank you. Than he tells me "you can wear it to work and show your co-workers and tell them Chase got it for you." So darn cute I was tearing up. (Eric just stood there and shook his head at me.)

-Playing with a tea set I had picked up for the boys. Chase enjoyed making the tea different varieties including pepperoni tea, mikshake tea, and my favorite peanut butter tea. When I told him at one point I was out of tea he said "sorry we are closed go to Jimmy John's!" Who knew they made tea there too?

-In warning Chase once again not to drink the bath water or he will get sick he looks at me and says "will I get sick with cancer like your grandma did?" I both cried and laughed at the same time.

-While decorating the tree at Christmas time on a Saturday morning Chase says "mom I sure wish dad could be here to help decorate this tree. He's so awesome at decorating. Dad and I are both awesome at decorating." I told him I had no idea this talent that you say dad has?

-I was getting Chase ready for bed and we put on his shark p.j's. I asked him if he wanted to read his "Shark in the Dark" book since he had on the shark p.j's. He said "mom it's not shark day it's garbage day." Which he is right Wed is garbage day.

-As I was making banana bread one night Chase comes down the stairs with Eric sees what I'm doing and tells Eric-"I'm going to help mom make banana bread so she doesn't make it in the wrong order." Once it's done being mixed up he asks for some I tell him not for another hour and you'll be in bed sleeping by than. He suggests sleeping in the living room so he'll be close by when it's ready. He heads to the basement saying "Uncle Russ and dad the banana bread is Making (instead of baking)".

-Chase was watching the Disney channel one evening and there was a Tinkerbell movie on. After he was glued to it for 20 mins I asked him if he liked the movie. He replied back-"This is a girl movie so I don't like it. But when I get bigger I'm going to buy pixie dust put it in my mouth and fly." He continues "And when I get older I want a tea set."

-"Mom I can have beer when I'm 31!" Why yes you can Chase!

-"Mom I'm sorry I peed my pants. It won't happen again. Well maybe sometimes."

-Chase asking Russ a whole lot of questions. Russ says "you sure ask a lot of questions." Chase replies "yeah-that's what kids do." Where does he get this stuff?

-Chase on fighting to take a bath one night.-"I don't want to take a bath, Joe Mauer doesn't take one." I tell him-"yes he takes a shower after every ball game." Chase asks me back-"When we go to the next Twins game can I shower with Joe Mauer after the game?" I didn't have the heart to tell him Oh Chase that is wrong on so many levels.

-"When I get bigger I need a tie to go to work with Daddy."

-Chase says to me-"You are my best friend but Brayden's a bad guy so I must shoot him with my gun."

-Chase watching commericals on tv one night says to me "Mom I need a Spike". I ask him a what? He says "I need a spike it's something to drink." I ask do you mean a Sprite? And to that he answers "Yeah that!"

-Asking Chase what happen between him and the neighbor boy earlier in they day. Chase tells me "he pushed me down and next time he comes over he has to get a time out!"

-Another poop story-Russ was telling me about the poop Chase had earlier in the day. Russ just called it big. Chase called it bouncy ball size. (the things they relate too?)

-Words a potty training mother loves to hear. "Mommy I'm going to wipe my own butt tonight, Thanks."

-Chase tells me the other day after going to the bathroom on the potty himself. "Mommy don't worry I won't do the weiner dance when I go to school." Referring to the dance he does after every pee on the potty. Which is performed before he puts back on his underware and pants and for everyone to see.

-Walking by an "ADT" security sign-"Chase asks what does that sign mean?" I tell him it says don't come into my house with out asking. Walking back by the sign later he says to me "that sign means stay out of my house and don't take my stuff!"

-While saying good night to Chase and thanking him for doing so well at pictures (his 3 yr photo shoot) earlier that day he says to me-"yeah all my pictures were funny and they were all so good!" (We haven't seen the pictures yet but glad he is so confident)

-I read a title of an article on MSN "Women puts child on E-Bay." Chase says "who put what on felipe?" I explain to him a woman tried to sell a kid on e-bay and you can't do that because it's wrong. I tell him I didn't put Brayden or him up for sale. I say quietly "though some days I would like too." He asks me "do you want to today?"

-Chase puts on Eric's sz 14 basketball shoes and has Eric's basketball. He says "when I get bigger I'm going to wear shoes this big and be on the green team and that's going to be pretty cool!"
