A Lesson in "One"

In a funny conversation last week, we realized that the boys thought that there was two of everyone. They see another version of themselves in each other...so they somehow thought there was two of everyone else. Cole said, "There are two Cole's and two Tommy's!" It's easy to see why he thought that way!

We had a long conversation (well SEVERAL conversations) about how there is only "one" of everyone. So now that is their favorite thing to list at night. We have to go through EVERYONE they know...which can take awhile. "There is one Cole, one Tommy, one Mommy, one Daddy, one Nana, one Papa, one Grandma, one Beth, one Joey, one Meredith, one Assley..." etc, etc.

Dramatic Flair

The boys couldn't be more different in terms of personality. Granted, they are both VERY silly and love to laugh...but where Cole likes numbers and is more laid back...Tommy is all about the drama in any situation. Take the slide for example. Here is a picture of Cole going down the slide:



I tried to get more photos, but he didn't want me to take any. He was too busy going down the slide and having fun.

Now here is Tommy:







He calls out to me when he is about to do something funny...then poses. My little Drama King!!!

Bye Auntie Meredith!!!

We miss you already! "Where did Meredith go? Meredith where are you?!?"

Auntie Meredith is SO much fun!!!

Auntie Meredith came for a visit this weekend and we're having a blast!! Between shows, ferry rides into Boston and the Aquarium today, it's been a lot of fun. :) Here are a few photos...more to come soon. Enjoy!

At the Aquarium this afternoon...





Tommy insisted on wearing his yellow rain coat today to the Aquarium. Hmm...might be a *bit* small, don't you think?



Taking the ferry into Boston! We walked through Fanueil Hall, the North End (hit Mike's Pastries...yum!) then had lunch before heading home. These guys were happy!!

Rolling, rolling, rolling...

I've always liked Bounty paper towels. With all the spills we have around here, these towels seem to work the best in our house. But did you know how many towels you actually GET on each roll? A lot!!! How do I know this??? See below...


This is part of a 15-pack of Bounty paper towels from the wholesale store. I say "part" because the other half rolled its way into the kitchen, around our island and into the bathroom. Here is the the path of towels I followed....



Not a roll left untouched...all in under 10 minutes while I was getting dressed. Pretty impressive stuff boys! Needless to say, that it took a lot longer to re-roll them than it did to unroll them. :) Happy Wednesday everyone!
