"When Nap Time Ends"

I feel like words are not necessary here. Happy Wednesday!

Christmas Crafts

Now that the boys are not napping (that's right NOT NAPPING) our days have become pretty busy. Yesterday, we decided to have a craft afternoon. We made wreaths using paper plates and green tissue paper...salt & flour ornaments for the holidays...and colored christmas trees, mommy's countertop and each other using markers. Here are my little men in action:

Tommy would stop in between pasting to remove all the glue from his fingers. Cole on the other hand found that a good hand wiping on your shirt did the trick just fine.

Coloring trees...

Tommy started hoarding markers half-way through. Hey, sometimes twins get tired of sharing!

Here are our ornaments baking away....this was a MESSY project so there aren't any photos of the actual process. Hmmm...what next?

Tommy the Hair Stylist

Tommy is my personal hair stylist. Depending on the day, he will demand that I put my hair up or leave it down. I have no idea how he makes this decision...but everyday he has an opinion. :)

Today is an "hair up" day. We were wrestling this afternoon when some strands of hair came loose from my pony tail. He stopped everything and demanded that I put it back 'up" before continuing to play. It's so funny!

Wake-up Cole!

Cole drifted off while watching Dora this afternoon. When Tommy discovered him asleep, he tried everything in his power to wake him up. He put on his fire hat and made fire truck sounds and even put a fire hat on sleeping Cole and yelled, "Cole! Fire!"

When I walked in with the camera, Tommy started wiggling Cole's nose and he thought it was hysterical. This video cracks me up. Enjoy!

Christmas Card Olympics

Does anyone understand how HARD it is to wrangle two-yeard olds to sit still for a photo? This should be an olympic sport! We spent two days sweating in front of the tree to try and get a good shot. There were tears, broken ornaments and plenty of laughs for Kevin and I. Here are some out-takes.

"Cole gone." Tommy said.

"Hey stop crowding me!"

Umm...

Tommy...people want to see your face please.
