Just had to share this little story...

So today, I'm making sandwiches for lunch, while talking on the phone with my sister, Melanie I hear someone holler right outside my kitchen window. It turn around and look, and there's a man standing there. I scream, only to realize that he hollered "NIPSCO!" (our gas company) and he had a NIPSCO hat on. Just reading the meter...

Boys will be boys...

For those of you who have only boys, (Melanie and Candi), and know exactly what I'm talking about, and for those of you who will soon enough know what I'm talking about.(Jen):)

My little Brett and Owen are two little partners in crime. What Brett does, Owen is 1/2 step behind, if that sometimes. They are constantly getting into trouble together. At times, I think it's pretty cute and sweet that they are so close and have fun together, but other times, I just want to pull my hair out. Here are some examples...

I had my boys playing outside, and I was in my kitchen making dinner. I can see them through my kitchen window, so it's perfect. I saw them jumping around and playing together, so cute! Yeah, not so much. They were actually jumping in a mud puddle. What you can't see from this picture is that they both had shoes on when they started outside, and they came in with nothing but dirty socks. They both took their shoes off.




On this particular day, I asked Brett and Owen to sit on my bed so that I could blow dry my hair. Well, Owen listened really well, I guess that's because Brett was squeezing a whole tube of toothpaste on his head. At first I was ready to cry, and then I realized that I have to just get my camera and take pictures of it all...



I came downstairs one morning to find this on my kitchen counter...


I asked Brett, "what are you doing?" To which he replied, "Nusin."


A couple of days later, my sons thought that the grape tomatoes would make good balls to play with...


I just had to pull this one out of the archives. This is Brett after he got ahold of a black marker...


Oh, how precious they are when they sleep...
