Snugglers?


This picture was taken in our hotel room last weekend in Atlanta. I love that the boys are old enough to share a bed when needed. Noah told me today that he wishes Jacob would let him on the top bunk so they could snuggle at night and stay warm! That's NOT gonna happen since Jake values his space, but I think Noah must have enjoyed his temporary sleeping arrangements. :)
The only down side to this story - when they woke up they turned on the tv and Jacob ordered "pay per view" cartoons. I walked into their room and there they were, snuggled in bed watching $10 worth of "special agent oso". Nice.

Boys



My life is surrounded with boys. Even the dog is a boy. I like boys, But sometimes I don't understand them. Take today for instance. J and N were out back playing with the neighbor boy. I glanced out the window just in time to see Noah casting a fishing pole and hooking the dog. Hmm, who thought this would be a good idea? I go out to stop the madness when I see the other boys with their fishing pole. They didn't hook the dog, but they did hook the trampoline net where they are now hanging from the fishing pole trying to get it to rip off. I freed the dog (and the trampoline), gave a lecture, let them all know that I meant business and went back inside. All was peaceful - until they all came running inside a few minutes later. All i could see was blood and all I could hear was "noah did a cartwheel and knocked L's tooth out!". It looks like disaster, but as I look closer I notice they are all smiling. L had blood everywhere, but was grinning and saying "Noah kicked my tooth out!". What, cause that's the greatest thing ever? Umm, I don't get it. See, I don't understand boys. They're crazy. But I love them.
