brothers

(sorry about the terrible quality of pictures lately, they are from my phone. In this pic, we just got done eating lunch with Brad at school)

Someday, best friends...

These two are as different as they come. Brown eyed curly hair, blue eyes straight hair. Ethan loves books, games, and is a picky eater. Ethan could really care less what he wears when his batman shirts are dirty. Gavin loves cars, trucks, trains, balls and loves to eat. Gavin cares what he wears, usually likes to layer things and does not leave the house without a hat.

They do enjoy together to wrestle, ride bikes, spend time with daddy, be thrown and spun around the room and be outside.

We can't wait for this weather to get better so we can get scraped knees and sunshine highlights in our hair, instead of bedhead. The boys ask me everyday to play outside, I'm wimpy and hate sitting out there in the freezing cold while they play their little hearts out. Luckily they don't care how cold they are.

I love having boys, they hardly whine about things I can't control, like the weather, and are as tough and messy as they come. Ethan's hair is the only high maintenance thing about them, which he refuses to cut.

My dad had the best advice .The most important thing about 2 boys, 2 years apart is they are like dogs, they can't be cooped up in a house all day long otherwise they tear it apart and themselves. They need to be walked, and ran, and exercised to be happy...at least my two. It sounds bad to compare kids to dogs, but it's sooo true. My kids ache to run free and explore, they are at each others throats when they are stuck inside. I can only hope one day we'll live close to the beach so we can spend lots of time there, or have a large yard for them to roam free in, but for now we'll have to bundle up to get the wiggles out.
