Boys Will Be Boys

One night before going to sleep Lucas requested that his dad get his large puppy pillow and his large puppy sleeping bag down from the shelf in his closet so they could sleep on the floor next to him. At the end of the night when I went to bed I looked in on Lucas and the puppies were no longer on the floor.....

Landon & Lucas occasionally enjoy eating at their own little table but for the most part the four of us sit at the big table every night around 6:00 for dinner. Lucas has asked more than once if we could get a t.v. in the kitchen but my answer will always be a big fat NO. The first part of the meal is spent talking about our days which would not happen if our attention were on the t.v. Unfortunately the second part of the meal is spent trying to get the kids to just eat!
The boys enjoy playing outside no matter what the weather is like. Luckily Steve is much better about taking them outside to play when the ground is covered in snow. To me it seems like so much work for all of us to get bundled up in our snow gear to go out for 1/2 hour and then turn around and come back inside to strip down, out of our wet clothes and try to get warm. I really need to try and get better at this because we all enjoy being outside.

I think Lucas shoveled our entire back yard this day - not that it is very big - but still great practice for when he starts shoveling the driveway and sidewalks out front. What's that, like next winter or something?? ;)


Lucas was sad to see his friend Sean relocate to a new preschool. After Sean's last day at Adventure Preschool, Sarah and I took the kids to lunch at Sweet Tomatoes Buffet where we all had more than enough to eat and then followed that up with ice cream. We are so happy for Sarah, Matt, Sean and Gracie to have a new house but we sure do miss seeing them as often as we used to.
You've gotta love the breakfast attire! I was not about to make him take off his hat while sitting at the table. ;)

One of my favorite places to go shopping is at Gardner Village here in the valley. I love to walk along the brick pathways and enjoy the unique shops. We usually go with Grandma Judy and eat sandwiches for lunch at the bakery followed by yummy cookies for dessert. A couple of weeks ago we ventured out there and while walking around Lucas plopped down and said "Mom take a picture of me sitting on this bench."

Of course I took a picture and of course Landon ran over and sat by his brother. I sure do love these boys....look at how cute they are!!!

Anyways............
...........nothing like a beautiful February day washing the truck and getting lots of help. ;)


Again with the help...........only this time we're making brownies.


And just for the record - Lucas picked out his own clothes this day. I told him he looked like ketchup and mustard.
