Zoning Out

Lately Joseph's favorite thing has been sitting on the arm of the couch or chairs in the living room while watching the Pixar movie "Cars." I really try to limit their television and screen time. But when he walks around the house with such a pitiful face saying, "Mommy, cars, more cars" it's hard to say no. He's seen it so many times that he knows three to four scenes ahead when the scary combine scene is coming up and comes to get me so I can fast forward it. I'll be so glad when spring is here and we can get outside more.

Our Little Lincoln Log

I ordered the boys some Lincoln Logs online and when they arrived, of course, the metal bin they came in was more interesting to them than the contents. Here is Joseph with Olivia (my occasional mother's helper and baby sitter). He and BoBo (as he calls brother) were taking turns stuffing themselves into the container.

Benjamin Feeding the Animals

We keep a little table and chair set for the boys in the kitchen and the other day Benjamin decided to put his giraffe "Raffie" in the chair and feed him breakfast. "Spoon Momma, spoon!" Benjamin insisted until I got him a utensil. Obviously Raffie is a rather particular eater who likes to be spoon fed.

Cool Dude!

Daddy taught Benjamin how to put his sunglasses on and say "Cool Dude."

Joseph up late!

Joseph likes to wait until brother is soundly off to sleep before calling out at just the right volume for us to hear him but not wake Benjamin.

Last night I let him stay up until Momma can home. He did however decide that our blanket was quite litterally the biggest sucky he had ever seen.
