Look! Up in the sky!

It's a bird!  It's a plane!  It's... Superman!!!  And he's been up there in the entrance way of our house for three months.   Anyone have some kryptonite that I could use?

The All Knowing Two Year Old

It appears that Vance has decided that even though I am nearing 30, and have been around much longer then he has, that I don't know what the crap I'm talking about.  Here is an example.  We were reading a book today, and there was a picture of a dog in a helicopter(good old Go Dog, Go).   Vance points to the helicopter and says:

Vance- An airplane.

Me- No, that's a helicopter.

Vance- No, it's an airplane.

Me-  No, it's a helicopter.

Vance-  No, it's not a helicopter, it's an AIRPLANE!

And it goes on and on and on.  We have had this disagreement many times over many different things.  Chalk versus a crayon(it was chalk!), a screwdriver versus a sword(leave it to boys to turn everything into a weapon).   He had me laughing so hard I cried over one of our little arguments  the other night.  

He's so sweet when he's sleeping!!

Even though he has a perfectly good bed, half the time when I get him up from his nap, he is on the floor, and perfectly content to be there.  I love this boy!

Vance is in the dog house again

                                              

Some of you may have read the post about the dog we got, Ernie.  Well, sad to say, we were not able to keep Ernie.  It was too much, especially with the phase that our lovely two year old is going through right now.  He's a bit of a handful(to say the least.).  

Milk. It does a body good.

Milk mustaches!

First Born Tag

I found this tag on my friend Maria's blog, and thought it would be really fun to do.

Better late then never

The Sunday before Christmas, when the boys were all dressed nice for church, I made them sit for a photo session.  The next few posts will show all those pictures.  As you can see from the first few pictures here, getting three boys to sit still and to actually look at the camera is no small task!
