Dancing fools. Oops I mean dancing boys!

Here are a couple video clips of the boys dancing. We listen to music a lot and the boys like to dance. I love watching them. Especially the "cool moves" Seth makes up. That's what he calls them. He usually asks me "Did you see that cool move Mom?"

Four year olds



So I am wondering how a four year old can be so stinking smart. My child can present a valid argument and unfortunately--for me--be correct. It is quite a scary thing when one realizes the child is witty and a lot smarter than even his mother gives him credit for. Here's the story: Today we went out grocery shopping as a family. This is something we usually do not do as the kids don't really enjoy it and would rather go to Grandmother's house. Nevertheless, we all went today. We were on our way to the rainbow store (Seth's name for the Grocery Outlet) when Seth became very whiny about his bible songs. He told me he did not want to listen to them any more. We had a few words about it and I got frustrated and turned the radio off completely. This annoyed Seth and he started whining to Daddy. I proceeded to tell Seth that Daddy and I are a team--the parents team--and whatever I said was what Daddy was going to say. We back each other up. He thinks for a minute and then says: "Well, nuh-huh mom, cuz the other weekend you said it was a no tv day and then you were sleeping the next morning I asked Dad to watch tv and he let me. So you aren't a team. He's on my team against you." I told him that maybe Daddy hadn't heard me and Seth said "He was sitting right next to you, so you are wrong and I am right." It was all I could do not to bust out laughing. I was breathing like I was in labor because that was the only way to control the laughter dying to burst out of me and all the while Eric is poking me. Not helping dude! Once my composure was gained I informed Seth that he indeed was right about that incident (which was last weekend by the way) but it would not happen like that again. I also asked him why he was watching tv when he knew what I had said and he said that was the other weekend let's talk about something else. Such a character!

Look at those beautiful eyes!

Seth and his new friend SS






Here are some pics of the kiddos playing. We really had a good visit with K and P. (and to K, it was about darn time lady) Anyway, I am glad the kids hit it off so well. K is totally against getting SS a kitchen and I have to tell you all that SS loved Seth's kitchen. So it looks like K and P are "screwed' as she said.

Plotting world domination

Guys, I am telling you we can do this thing. The parents are clueless.

We can take over the world . . . maybe we should converse with Seth.

Playing tag!

I got you now!

Crash

I am going to get you SS


You can't catch me!

I am coming to get you Seth


Over Easter weekend my friends K and P came to town. We haven't seen them in awhile and had since adopted a beautiful little lady from China. Seth and SS instantly were friends and engaged in a game of tag . . . well more like chase! They had so much fun and the noise level was a bit intense. It is so amazing to watch your child play and have fun. The excitement I saw in his face was awesome. Those are the moments that make motherhood so wonderful. I love my boys so much! SS is a riot too. K and I knew that they would be best buds from the moment they met and I am so glad they were. We can't wait to visit with them again.

My little climber






Daddy and Luke were hanging out together and Luke decided to climb on the paper towels.
Daddy thought it was cute and took some pictures.
