Seeing Double...

This is what it looks like when two boys are in time out. Look at those sad, "I'm sorry mama faces."

Ben is on the left and in blue. Will is in his FAV shirt that is getting too small. A.K.A. his tiger shirt.
This is what it looks like when you ask two boys if they are ready to get out of time out.

The boy's personalities shine through so much that at times I forget that they are identical. The series of photos below do a good job of showing just how identical they can be at times!

Will is on the left in white. When they wake up from nap they are fussy. Mostly because they want me all to their selves. One will want a drink the other just wants to snuggle so it is common if they are fussy. My best tactic is to lay them next to each other and tickle them. They start giggling and forget they are crabby and have to share me. Works like a charm....




Three weeks ago we watched the Superbowl. We don't watch much T.V. with the kids, so getting to watch this big game with snacks was a treat. To be honest, the kids and I didn't watch much of the actual game. But when the half time show started we all were silent and watching intensely. Madonna was the star. She must have left a lasting impression because we haven't seen her videos or listened to her music since yet Ben put on this princess crown and... well see for yourself.

Nightly Prayer


When we put the boys to bed we say a prayer. It usually is a rambling of what we are thankful for and all the great things we enjoyed during the day. We also thank God for the stars above our head, warm beds, and a safe house. This was put on at the end of our prayer awhile back when the boys were scared at bed time.

So tonight Ben decided he wanted to lead us in prayer. It went like this, "Dear God thank you for my Grandshe and Gigi (Gigi is our friend Gail who came up this weekend to visit), thank you for my Josie girl, and stars, and cozy cribby, and blankets.... and... (thinking really hard then giggles and whispers) and diapers. AMEN!" Will thought the diapers comment was the funniest thing. All we heard through the intercom was the two boys giggling about praying for diapers.
