Liams new word "Pretty"

What every father fears, their son wearing makeup and thinking they look "pretty."

Has Aiden found his passion?

Aiden mixed several ingredients to make something. Lets see, a little sesame, cake sprinkles, M&Ms and salt.

Its not what you think

Aiden dumped (no pun intended) cinnamon in the toilet. I cannot explain why, other than, it looked cool. The bathroom smelled awesome for weeks.

A Balanced Breakfast

Yum, Cheez-its and ice cream for breakfast.

Orange no!

I spent last weekend tearing apart the back yard. Keli, being prego, helped by keeping me hydrated with regular water runs. As it always starts, one of the boys is missing and quiet. Keli found Liam in the pantry eating orange. No not the fruit.
The food coloring. Not the first food coloring incident we've had. Thinking we learned from the first incident, we placed the food coloring for Keli's cakes on the top shelf of the pantry. The pantry door has a child lock on it. Yeah it worked real well. I still wonder what it tastes like...

Did you think they would last? (blinds take 2)

We bought new blinds for the boys room. Yes we thought it would work. It was made with a solid vinyl sheet. Oh boy are we naive.
There were teeth marks on the vinyl. They really are good boys. Honest.

Smuggling Contraband (blinds take 1)

In prison they regularly search the inmates cells for contraband, so I hear. We have not felt the need to go to that extreme with the boys...until we discovered this.The contraband? Scissors, smuggled in before bed time and hidden under his bed after the incident. The blinds were ruined. On the brighter side, they didn't stab the mattresses.

Party when the lights go out

When the boys are put to bed, we hear a lot of noise coming from their room. They laugh, giggle, jump on beds and move furniture. The party goes late in the night. Checking on the boys, we can only assume they fell asleep where they dropped.

Lets Make Some Cookies

Aiden wanted cookies. Unfortunately, cookies were not readily available. He came up with an ingenious plan to make them himself. So he gathered the ingredients he had seen mom use to make cakes: sugar, powder sugar, frosting and peanut butter. He decided to find a nice place to make his cookies and began mixing the ingredients on the couch in the play room.

Aiden had to clean it up...look at the smile on his face :) He loves the vacuum.

Its been a while...

Life has been busy for Keli and I over the past few months. Unfortunately, this has not slowed down Aiden and Liam. Sooo......here we go.
