Boys At Play

 I have a lot of catching up to do...I had hoped to get more done over the holiday's but there was at least one sick person in this house our entire vacation!  Now I've got to spend some time posting.
 I'll start with showing you how Wyatt entertains himself while his brothers are at school.  Just like Jack he LOVES to be outside and is pretty good about playing on his own, although he loves it when the other kids are out there or a dog!!  And just like Jack, he loves playing with construction trucks - building, dumping, scooping...
 But he's also got an active imagination inside.  He is all boy and loves cars and trucks and things that go vroom!
 He was quite proud of his long train of cars lined up and made sure I took lots of pictures of them.
 We started our Christmas decorating right after Thanksgiving this year so the boys could fully enjoy everything.  Jingle James, our Elf on the Shelf, got himself into lots of mischief this year - and Jack and Wyatt loved looking for him everyday.
 While it looks like Wyatt is looking at the elf, he really is eying the M&M's in a bowl on the sideboard.  He loves his candy!!
 But wasn't as fond of the candy canes like Jack and Jingle James!
 Wyatt loves this gun and it always cracks me up to see him carrying it around as it's bigger than he is.
 Here he's got the gun and a shield (hard to see) and is defending me from all the bad guys (he watches Jack play too many video games).
 I'm going to get you!

 I love how well the kids all play together (when they want to).  Here we had a playdate with Savannah from a few houses up.  Even Ethan got in on the action.

 Jason has been painstakingly painting lots and lots of miniatures and Jack has been so anxious to paint his own so Jason finally got him set up.
 And he loved it.
 This is what happens when Wyatt doesn't take a nap -- he passes out with toys still in his hand right around 5pm.
 I tried really hard to find activities to do with the boys every afternoon.  Of course, once everyone got sick we stopped doing so much but the boys really loved making Reindeer Food - which we gave to the teachers for gifts.
 All the extra work with Ethan is paying off, as he really enjoyed helping out and I know it was good for him too.
 Wyatt just wants to be Jack!
 And Jack is a great older brother - helping Ethan and Wyatt.




 I can't believe how big Jack is getting.
Yummy, yummy!
 
 Our final product, made with love by the Cornwell boys!

Having a Great Visit with Aunt Delly

I know it's been a VERY long time since I've last posted, but it's hard when you have company in town. Plus, I've been especially exhausted this past week. Jack get's so excited when we have visitors that he gets even crazier than normal! September should be fun when we have Daddy, Granny and Grandma in town. I've been continuously changing up our great room bookshelves, so I thought I would post a photo for you to see. If anyone has more ideas on how to make it look better, let me know. These are some pictures of Jack at gymnastics. He has gotten so much better at this club. They do a lot more strengthening stuff than the old place. Plus they have an older boys class so they don't just teach girly stuff at this age. It's been fun to see him do so well. Of course, a lot of time he still goofs around, trying to fall off stuff, but for the most part he's pretty good at staying on task. Last week they did the monkey bars and he LOVED it and was...

Last Days of Summer Vacation

I'm back...it's been a crazy past few weeks but then what's new. We were dealing with tummy issues for the boys last week and after spending each cleaning up the messes all I could bring myself to do at night was lay on the couch! On top of that, I've been working out 3 days a week for an hour and a half at a time and that has been wearing me out. Oh, and I've started a new business selling Willow House so my free time has been limited. But I've been enjoying it and a happy mama makes for a happy family! Now we're enjoying our last day of summer vacation before Jack starts Pre-K tomorrow, which is the equivalent to what kindergarten was for me back in the day. Jack is excited to get back to school and see his friends and learn "big kid stuff," and I'm excited to get our routine started for the school year. Plus Daddy should be home on Thursday and that will help tremendously! I can't believe he's been gone almost two years. It wi...

My Week

 Jason left last Saturday (the 4th) for his two week Army Annual Training and we sent him off with a nighttime treat before he left.  I love this photo of my boys, as they all look so happy and the small ones look so grown up - especially Ethan.  We couldn't pry that cup of frozen yogurt away from him!!  And, as usual, when Jason leaves all hell breaks loose.  Tuesday night we were all getting ready for bed and I was getting Ethan and Wyatt out of the bathtub when Wyatt slipped and banged his chin on the edge.  Normally Wyatt gets out first but this time I got Ethan and that just drove him crazy.  He was jumping up and down and as soon as I told him to stop he slipped.  I thought he had just cut his lip or his gums as I only saw blood but then he titled his head up and I saw his chin - too much of the inside of the chin.  I got him dried off, and kept a washcloth to his chin but knew I needed to get him to the ER.  But the last th...
