Just a Few Reasons to Love My Boys

Peanut thought it would be funny the other night to "scare" me with his fake bug collection. So at first he would just stick one up in my face and I would pretend scream. So then he thought it would be fun to start putting them all over me, so I sat still while he placed them all over me. Today he told all the kids at pre-school that his name was Peanut, so when I went to pick him up, I called him by his name and then a little girl in front said, "You mean Peanut?" So then they all started shouting it. He's so cute. I sure love that little guy.

Last night, after a long day of washing piles of peed on bedding and dealing with Mr. Likes To Argue About Anything and Everything, I went to the gym to unwind. My brother thinks it's funny that I go to relax, but anyway, I got home and the boys were finishing a game with dad. Then we made them get in the shower. I was on the computer checking email and JP and Bubba come running down naked after the shower. They ran into the living room, holding each other's hands running in a circle singing a song that Bubba was making up as he went along (although I did hear him practicing in the shower even though I was all the way downstairs). They were laughing away and having the greatest time. They wanted us to video tape them, but we were like, "Um, not a good idea." I did tell them that I would take their picture if they went upstairs and got pjs on. So this is how they came down. Yes, Bubba sleeps in his underwear. It could be 65 upstairs and he still sleeps with the fan on and no clothes. So, needless to say, it was a great ending to a poopy day. Just when I want to strangle them and need a time out in my closet, they end the day being goofy and making me laugh. I sure love those silly little boys. (And yes, we do feed JP, he's just arching so his ribs are showing). Oh, and those ARE underwear on their heads.



Then there's Mr. Whiny Hold Me All Day. I can't ever get much done during the day. When I get home from running errands it's nap time, and the last week or so, he won't sleep unless I'm holding him. I try to lie him down and he wakes up crying. Well, this morning he just wanted to sit on the couch with me and snuggle after he woke up. I was sitting there thinking of how nice it is that he still loves to snuggle with me and he's almost 2. Not all of them were like that. So I'm very blessed. I figure I'll get stuff done and have a clean house again when he's bigger, but I won't be able to get back that snuggle time. I sure love my sweet little snuggle bear.
