Can You Say...Permanent Marker?!

I know I have mentioned before that Dylan tends to get into EVERYTHING!! Well I made the mistake of leaving a permanent marker on the counter. The next thing I know Joshua is calling me "Mommy, Dylan is drawing on the couch with a marker." Of course it isn't one of those clear markers but a wonderful black permanent marker. I had to recompose myself after I screamed. Sweet Dylan had no idea but he did end up spending some alone time in his crib. At least we can turn the cushions over, right? I guess everything is a blank canvas for a child.

Time With Daddy...and Mommy

I enjoy being a stay-at-home mom. I am very fortunate to be at home with my boys and I know I take that for granted at times. It just amazes me though how much I am easily distracted or tired and just don't make the time to "play". No matter what Daddy is doing he will stop and make time for the boys (granted he only has a few hours on weeknights and then on the weekends). Scott is a great Daddy and ALWAYS puts the boys before himself. He makes the time to read, wrestle, and just play.

The sweetest thing is watching Joshua each and every morning run to the door to wave good bye to Daddy as he goes to work. If Daddy doesn't wave, Mommy has to call Daddy and have him circle the block. I play tennis on Saturdays, so lately each time I leave and drive past the front of the house all of my boys are standing there waving goodbye. This shows me that they will truly miss me. The reason I say they miss me for the few hours I am gone is because as soon as I walk in the door they come running and tell me how much they miss me. So now Mommy needs to make the time because it will be gone before I know it.

Flying Planes

The boys love planes. We went to the Dollar Tree the other day and found some of these styrofoam planes. They are really cute. The boys get to put stickers on them and away they go. Of course they are not the most durable toy but they are definitely entertaining. It is actually pretty funny because Dylan had his no more than 2 minutes before he broke it. Didn't even faze him. He just kept on flying and crashing it with a broken wing. The beauty of this is that it only cost a dollar for each. So, I went ahead and stocked up and bought six more for when the time came and the the hot glue didn't work anymore. Love that Dollar Tree.

Playing Nicely Together

Today it is just a rainy and cold day. One of those days you expect to be veeerrry long. It actually wasn't. To my surprise the boys played extremely well today. They play well together on most given days but today they didn't fight, fuss, or cry. I just smiled because I could hear there little voices and they were having the best time together. I hope and pray that they will be best buds as they grow up. I love my boys!!
