Funny...

So there was a gas leak outside of our house today. They didn't actually find it until nearly 5:00pm. The crews arrived around dinner time and we were informed that they would be digging for a good part of the night.

This is all well and good, except the digging was happening RIGHT outside of the boys bedroom and the workmen arrived with HUGE diggers complete with flashing lights and loud jack hammers. The boys went nuts! Kevin had to physically lay in bed with Cole and hold him down as he kept jumping up in his bed, leaning over to the window and pulling the curtains back and yelling, "Woah! Look! HUGE trucks!! DIGGERS!!!"

So funny! It is a miracle that they are sleeping right now. They are still digging away out there...

Can you guess???

Rainy days...

As everyone knows, we've been getting LOTS of rain around here lately. Lucky for us, our house has stayed high and dry. But the boys have been going bananas! They want OUT! The most recent storms were warm enough that some puddle jumping was in order. We suited up in our "Fireman Sam" outfits and hit the driveway. (The boys are obsessed with a PBS show from Scotland called Fireman Sam.) They loved splashing in the puddles and getting each other wet. It was after all this fun that Cole informed me that his rain boots didn't work. They were "too full". He was trying to say too small. :) And he was right! A visit to the shoe store revealed that they went from a 7.5 to a size 9!

Here are some rainy day photos....

Fun at the playground!

We had some nice weather last week, so the boys went to the playground to meet up with their friends. One of the moms brought treats for all the kids...including green cupcakes! They were a HUGE hit. It's funny watching the boys play. They are always within eye sight of each other and usually gravitate to the same toy/activity. During this visit, they were really busy playing with other kids, running, chasing, sliding...they were so tired by the time we left that they didn't even argue when I said it was time to go. :)

The boys talked about how much fun they had the whole ride home. It was such a great afternoon and so nice to be out of the house enjoying the warm weather. Here are some pics from our afternoon...
