Uncanny

I hope that if I ever have a girl, her picture will not look exactly like her brother's. Both of these boys are spitting images of each other...though completely different personality wise....

Tractor Prep

The boys were working on the tractor; preparing it for spring planting. Aidan said he wanted to plant carrots and broccoli. Ethan suggested apple sauce or mangoes. He likes fruit. Of course apple sauce came out as "didi" followed by a grunt, but I was able to translate.

Fun times

Those crazy boys....

Mr. Obsession times 2

*sigh*....so I had thought that only one child would have the strange obsession with cords, plugs, fans, and vacuums. I should learn to never jump to conclusions or believe in wishful thinking. It seems that tiny child number two also has a fascination with things a kid should not play with. You should have seen his eyes light up when he saw the fan. He even knew where the on/off switch was and tried his hardest to flip the switch (no, it was not plugged in!).

Christmas time

We enjoyed Christmas morning in our own home for the first time in years. Aidan was very excited about Santa coming. He got to set out a big "X" in the yard in bright red Christmas lights to mark the landing strip for the sleigh. He even tossed reindeer food (peanuts, corn, bird seed, and red and green cake sprinkles) all around the "X" for extra landing insurance. His various emails to Santa were answered and he tore into his gifts with fervor this year. Papa Don celebrated Christmas with us this year at our house. Aidan made sure to get an extra stocking from storage to hang on the fireplace for him so Santa could fill it too.

Let me at those presents!!

Prepping for Christmas

Aidan wanted to help wrap presents.....but ended up taping his brother instead....

Busy busy busy

Where has the time gone! I have to catch up on this blog...so much has happened in the last month....where to begin....
How about the first real snow of the season just before Christmas!! Aidan had a wonderful time making snow trails. The dog had a great time chasing Aidan.
