Living in Georgia

 Just a few photos from the past couple days of the boys.  I was able to catch Wyatt and Ethan playing together.  Wyatt LOVES this ride on toy and the other day Ethan decided to push and pull him around the house on it.  Of course, Wyatt found this highly amusing and was laughing hysterically.  I love seeing them playing together instead of taking toys away from each other.  Jack received this crazy Dr. Seuss hat as part of his rewards for the Fun Run pledges and we all had a lot of fun wearing it around the house.  I really liked wearing it but every time I put it on, Wyatt would pull it off.  One of Wyatt's new things is to put things over his head (hats, towels, etc.) and walk around the house, trying not to run into anything.  We couldn't keep him from pulling it down over his eyes.  Daddy being silly - I love this picture!  Ethan's turn.  How sweet is that face!  He's talking so much more these days.  He loves his alphabet a

 Sunday we had a few friends over to celebrate Jack's 6th birthday.  He requested an Army theme so we got hats, cups, dogtags, Army parachutes and water guns for everyone.  And an Army tank pinata filled with candy!  Homemade cupcakes that Jack helped to decorate rounded out the event.  After running some energy off, it was pinata time.  We started off with the typical hitting of the pinata with a stick...  ...but after a couple kids tried, the top fell off.  So we resorted to how it was supposed to be done...  Each kid grabbed a string and pulled - then filled their hats up with candy.  Then it was time to sing to the birthday boy.  Even though he doesn't eat cake...  ...he had to have one with a candle to blow out.  Is that Ethan eying that cake, knowing Jack wasn't going to eat it?  Later on we had the neighborhood kids back to watch Jack open his presents.  He could barely wait to see what he got.

 I received a Willow House shipment this past week and it arrived in two large boxes.  They quickly became hours of entertainment.  Jack taped the flaps of the box together and made it into a little city and then began coloring it.  He then got crayons for his brothers so they could join him.  They played so nicely together and had so much fun.  All I heard were laughs and giggles for at least an hour, if not longer.  I was able to get quite a bit of cleaning done while they played.  Then it became their fort...  ...with doors.  Then Ethan and Wyatt realized it could be used as a slide.  And the laughter got a whole lot louder! They've had so much fun with it that it still sits in our office for the boys to play with anytime they want.
