Tickles
This brings new meaning to "wrangling" the kids
Hugs

Baby burrito
Piggy Back rides
Boys will be boys
Even grown men, will be boys!

Reading
These boys LOVE reading
Sometimes its hard to get them to look up for a nice photo
The same books, day in, day out! They never get old

Christmas Songs
Yes. Its true. We've started to listen to Christmas songs already. This song came on:
"Said the shepherd boy to the mighty King, a child, a child shivers in the cold, let's bring him Silver and Gold." --Do you hear what I hear?
Then Dan says: He shivers in the cold, bring him Silver and Gold. What good does that do? He's cold! Bring him a blanket!
Yep! Another song ruined by my dear husband. Thanks hun!

Brothers Interactions
Sometimes, I'm not sure what they are doing
A little bit funny
and very detailed
Involving a bit of heavy lifting
being on all fours
and a few tears.
Perhaps they are planning to take over the world.

Why Joel needs a Chiropracter
Awkward and painful. It just doesn't look right. No wonder he wakes up screaming.

Pop Quiz
What is the reason why we haven't blogged this week?
a. busyness
b. lack of sleep
c. neglect
d. lack of inspiration
e. both a and b
If you answered "e" you are probably correct. We have had some busy evenings and even longer nights. Dan has been working like crazy. Apparently, he is the only cook available right now, since co-workers are either sick/hurt or on vacation. Once he gets home, we put the boys to bed, clean up and numerous nights have just crawled right into bed. Let's just say that 3 hours of consecutive sleep is really nice. 4 hours feels amazing and 5 hours is a downright blessing! Anything more than that has yet to be experienced this week. Its been a week of little sleep, and REALLY early mornings. At 5:30am is NOT okay to be awake. 6am is crazy. 6:30 is painful, but do able. 7am feels incredible. 7:30 is a miracle, yet to be experienced. Let's just say coffee is our right hand man.
Please send reinforcements. Coffee, child sleep aids, or even a two by four. Anything to get us a little sleep around here would be appreciated.

Note to Self
Do not let your almost 2 year old run around naked in attempting to "potty train" him during "high fibre Fridays." This may or may not result with your child jumping on the couch and having some things come flying out. Things that should NOT come flying out. This also may result in your child jumping in said substance, spreading mess even further.
By the way Joel, "Uh Oh" does NOT even begin to cover the situation. Thank goodness for that steam mop from Grandma! (and the fact that the couch cushions were on the ground, not on the couch, thus covering any residual stainage).
When, oh when, will you learn your lesson???? Your child needs to eat more crap to prevent shitty situations!

Hold Your Horses!
The other night, I was frazzled, trying to unload groceries, feed Micah and make dinner. Joel was constantly underfoot, wanting to help cook dinner. I finally turned to him in exasperation and said, "Hold your Horses!!!!"
When I turned around from putting some groceries away, I was met with Joel, holding a plastic giraffe (which for some reason he thinks is a horse), looking at me as if he was saying, "I'm holding the horse, now what?"
I stopped dead in my tracks and burst out laughing. A literal interpretation in his own unique way. Now we tell him to hold his horses and he runs for his giraffe, laughing and saying, "neigh, neigh!"
