I love my kids!!!

This past weekend, the boys went and spent the night with Meme and Poppi. They always love any opportunity they have to go and stay with their grandparents. I'm so glad that they don't seem to get homesick and can be away from me for small parts of time. As much as Brad and I do enjoy some alone time, our house is SO quiet when these boys are not home, and we are so glad when they do finally come back home. This is Sunday night once they were back home...
 Daniel is quite the character. This is the other night after he was clean and fluffy from his bath, and full from dinner...what a nut! This same night I made Taco Spaghetti for dinner...a new recipe. The boys sat down and both started crying because they didn't like the way it looked. I explained to them that this was their dinner, and if they chose not to eat it, they were going to be hungry. I also explained that they are very blessed to have food because there are a lot of people who have nothing to eat. Daniel responded, "Well, Lucy Claire has food...I've seen her pantry!!!" Oh my!!! By the way, they both gave in, tasted it, loved it, and ate every bite!!
 Today at school, the kids each made an octopus. This is Daniel's "hopatus" and he is SO proud!!!

Family Pictures...

We went out to a park on Tuesday and had some pictures made. They were just supposed to be of the boys, but the photographer made Brad and I get in some. I love most of them!!! I'm glad we had them taken...now to decide which ones I want...
