  • Makeup

    The boys love to pretend to put on makeup. One of the things I personally love about this age is no gender roles are established in their minds. Whatever mommy does is pretty cool to them. I don’t mind them pretending to put on makeup, I know they will grow out of it eventually. It doesn’t make them any less of a man.

    Today while I was dusting in our bedroom, the boys snuck into our bathroom and shut the door. I let them be for a few minutes before I checked on them. The only thing they had gotten out was my makeup and were busy putting it on. I let them, and of course, I took pictures.

  • Ez’s Favorite Game

    Ez has a new favorite game. He has requested it every evening this week and we played it most of the morning (including one 45 minute stretch). He calls it “mommy night night.” What is mommy night night one might wonder? The rules are simple, mommy has to lay in bed while Ezra and Noah jump, wrestle, tickle (each other), giggle,and sometimes cuddle with mommy. Sometimes they do my hair, sometimes we sing songs, but mostly they act silly while mommy bums around. I promise you I did not come up with this game! Ez tells me, “mommy night night” or “mommy bed” and I just obey!

    I have it tough, don’t I?

  • First Snow Day

    We took the boys up to Papa and Nama’s cabin yesterday to see some snow. There was a lot of it too, over a foot! It was soft and fluffy and not really good for making snowmen or snowballs, but it was still fun. Noah kept taking his mittens off so he could more easily grab the snow for snacking. They also just kept digging in the snow, I wish I would have thought of bringing their sand toys up, they would have had more fun with those. I think they enjoyed the snow and tolerated the cold okay. It was a fun way to start of the new year!

    I thought I would change things up a bit this Friday and share some videos instead.

    We gave the boys bikes for Christmas, we thought they would be excited.

    I was trying to get the boys to say “Happy Birthday Abby,” but this is all I was able to get.

    Checking out our new hand me down boots and thought a game of peek-a-boo would be fun.

    Goat and a cookie, what more could a boy want?

    Noah’s face just cracks me up.

    Checking out the cat who recites the Night Before Christmas.

    They love it.

    Doing a bowling ball somersault. Yes they figured this out all on their own.

    Working on somersaults together.

    The joy of completing one!

    Somersault action shot!

    Playing legos is hard work, you need a pillow for added comfort.

    Reading underneath his table
    Jackson joining the boys for snack, odd because he avoids them like crazy.
    Proof I have three children not two.
    Trying the cookie he made.
    Happy with his cookie.

    Ez has the right idea.
