Muscles

After giving Jake a bath tonight he was telling me about his muscles. He was telling me how strong he was and how he could "pow" bad elephants! I said to him, "Where did you get your big muscles?" Thinking he might say from Milk or from being a good eater. His reply, "from Wal-mart!"

Magic Powder

Here is a conversation from this morning:

Jake: Buzz lightyear flies
Me: Do you fly?
Jake: (considers) I have Spiderman wings but no those flies
Will: We need magic to fly a magic powder that is what makes you fly!

So obviously Spiderman, Buzz lightyear and Peter Pan have influenced their thinking. . .

Grandpa's Birthday

On Saturday we went over to K&D's house to have dinner and celebrate D's birthday. The boys were excited to help Grandpa blow out his candles.

and of course eat a little of the cake, with lime sherbet instead of ice cream. I suppose that lime sherbet goes well with orange dreamsicle cupcakes.

Happy Birthday D I hope we get to celebrate many more with you!

Jump!

On Friday morning I was checking my e-mails, reading blog posts, checking facebook my normal routine. Jonah had already left and I heard that the boys were awake but was waiting a few more minutes to get them up since it was not quite 8:00 yet. Usually they will get up and grab some books and read for a while in the morning until I go and get them up. At first I heard hushed whispers and then Loud bangs. I had a pretty good idea what they were doing so I went up to investigate. I quietly pushed Will's door open a crack and saw that they had piled blanket and pillows in front of his bed and were jumping off of the bed into the pillows. So I quietly went back down stairs and grabbed my camera and then proceeded to take a few shots of them jumping off of the bed. I know I should discourage this behavior because someone could really get hurt, but how often do you have on Spiderman wings, and get to use them??

Year in Review

Here are my Year in Review Pages for the boys from Last year. I have been printing these and hanging them on the wall for a couple of years and I do love them. I love seeing the way the boys change in the course of one year of course I also lament how big they get in just one year as well but it is so fun to see photos from every month all together.
