OCD

Every morning, like clock work. We open the blinds and Joel lets out an "uh oh!"

He runs to the kitchen drawer and retrieves a cloth. He then proceeds to wipe up the moisture from the windows. A little bit of OCD. A little bit of cleanliness. A lot of my personality! Thanks for the help little buddy!

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!

He's got my

TONGUE!!!

 

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.
