Silly rules

We have had to create a lot of silly rules in our house. Some of the best are worthy of sharing.

No hockey sticks on the bed
No guitars in the kitchen
Get your brother out of the ottoman before closing it
No standing on the sit and spin
No eating crayons
No crayons in your ears
Don’t park your bike in the kitchen
No sticking your hands in your drink
No hanging from the curtains
No “helping” with your brothers diaper change

I think its clear are little boys are all boy. Im sure there are more rules. We have to make up a dozen new ones every day it seems.

danger boys

my boys are such boys. They hijacked a cooler sitting out to dry and turn it into a game.

why we have a mattress in our living room you ask? daddy still needs to build out big boy beds, and this was a logical storage spot.

no toddlers were injured in the making of this film.

Just before the boys hit two, something clicked. Boom, thomas the train was the coolest thing ever, and they very quickly became obsessed. It was like someone flipped the little boy mode switch on. Everything was about thomas, and anywhere they saw that iconic blue tank engine, it required pointing it out and chattering about thomas.

We fueled the passion a bit by letting them watch a bit more TV, and the boys received lots of thomas stuff for their birthday and christmas. Little cars, shirts, undies, etc. Lots of thomas in our house, but we try and keep it reasonable.

When we found out that Thomas the Tank Engine has a touring full size car, train ride and a day of activities, we knew it would be a hit. Nama & Papa took the boys for their first train ride, and to meet thomas. It was a long drive, but the boys loved it.

My Messy Boys

Last week Ezra and I were busy looking for a missing toy and Noah found a tub of lotion and got a spoon from the kitchen. Luckily he had opened it on the tile, so when Ez and I wondered upon him I let Ez join in for a bit.

Noah rubbing it in, yea this was some strong smelling lotion in large quantities!

At least they were willing to clean it up!

Here is a short video of Ez skating on the lotion. He did really good and didn’t fall once. (He must have his daddy’s balance!) Wish I would have started taping earlier.

Makeup

The boys love to pretend to put on makeup. One of the things I personally love about this age is no gender roles are established in their minds. Whatever mommy does is pretty cool to them. I don’t mind them pretending to put on makeup, I know they will grow out of it eventually. It doesn’t make them any less of a man.

Today while I was dusting in our bedroom, the boys snuck into our bathroom and shut the door. I let them be for a few minutes before I checked on them. The only thing they had gotten out was my makeup and were busy putting it on. I let them, and of course, I took pictures.

To fully enjoy the pictures, just click on the first one and scroll through.

Chatting with his bro while he does his makeup.

Admiring himself (ignoring the grimy mirror, I am thinking you can guess why it is grimy)

He is using the correct brush. He really pays attention to mommy.

Lipgloss goes on the chin, don’t let the name full you!

2nd Birthday Party

HappyDancingBoys — Running around in circles while dancing and screaming

We had the boys’ birthday party yesterday and it was a beautiful day. We had a lot of fun and the boys were WILD. I think they were super excited to have so many of their favorite people all together.

WildEz — Ez was super wild the whole party

AbbyandherBalloons — Abby all tangled with the balloons

ReadingaCard — Ez reading a card, he really loves cards.

The boys received trikes from Nama and Papa (my parents) and it is one of those moments I wished we had the video camera rolling. They were beyond excited when they saw them.
