Blankets

The boys are very much into blankets right now.  They like to cuddle in them to read stories, watch movies, and to wrestle.

Yard Work

We're in the process of building and planting a garden.  I'll show before and after pictures once we get things all done- but it's looking good.  Can you believe that Dan allowed Brad to play in the dirt during his watch??

The boys love helping.  They especially like putting rocks into the wheelbarrow.  Brad is helping Dan carry the shovel in this pic.

Look in the corner- Brad is dilligently working while Seth decided to take a break.  Brad is going to be our good helper and I think Seth is going to try creative ways to get out of it.

Pulling weeds with daddy.  Each boy has a spade and whenever Dan finds a worm they get to go put it in the garden.

Easter

The boys were really into the Easter egg hunt this year.

Grandma Ogilvie helping Seth find his eggs.

Fruit snacks- could this holiday get any better??

What we've been up to.

We bought a wagon, but unfortunately had a big Spring snow storm the next day.  The boys couldn't wait for better weather before they took a ride.

I don't know why Brad felt so relaxed at breakfast the other morning.  We'll have to work on keeping elbows and feet off the table.

Pushing each other in their dump truck.

You may have to zoom in to be fully impressed, but if you tell the boys which letter to get they can each spell their name.

No little kid slides for Seth, he insists on the biggest one in the park.

Too Cute

Brad, or aka "Mr. Rogers" according to Dan.

I bought the boys crayons and a big roll of paper, but they spend the majority of the time putting the crayons in and out of the box instead of coloring.

The other night they had trouble falling asleep.  We went in to check on them and Seth had crawled into Brad's bed and Brad tucked him in with all six blankets in their room.

Story time

The boys thought they were so silly sitting on the windowsill

Brad goes right to sleep, but Seth usually likes to read in bed and he insists on having all the books in their room at the foot of his bed or he has a meltdown.

It's serious business for Brad to get the Cheerios in all the right openings.

Talk about a teaching moment.  Learn to go pee in the potty and how to spell your name all at the same time.  Way to go Dan.

New Interests

The boys like to color.  We're still working on keeping it on the paper as is currently demonstrated on my kitchen floor.

Brad likes organizing his crayons almost as much as he does color.  He's very thorough.  In nursery class he almost completely covers the page with crayon.

Both the boys love the Disney movie Cars, especially Seth.  He points at the TV and says  "car, car, car".  We had a movie night for the boys while I cleaned out the freezer (you can totally tell I'm a suburbian housewife- I cleaned out the freezer on a Friday night while my husband was on an overnight scout campout).  On second thought, I totally should've watched the movie!
