First Snow

Today we had a great day! Justin and Matthew woke up to a yardful of snow. Justin was so excited when he saw it falling. Matthew pretty much ran down the hallway, wanting to skip breakfast, to go outside and play. It took forever to get layered. I just never realized how much work is involved in getting two kids ready to play in the snow. Plus I realized we had no snow boots, so we had to "make our own." Justin was really daring and walked right out into the snow. It took Matthew a while to warm up but eventually he got out there and played! We ended up going out twice today and both times had to literally drag the boys into the house because they wanted to stay out to play.

Beautiful Angel

We have some dress up clothes (angel wings and halo; devil horns and tail) that Justin has all of a sudden started playing with, in addition to playing dress up in my closet (mostly wearing my scarves and beach hat). So last night he tells me to put on the angel (he says, "You try on the Angel."). So I put in on and I ask, "How do I look?" (which right now is one of his favorite phrases). He responds, "You look beautiful angel." These are the times that just make your heart melt.

Fire Truck Crazy

So this past week the boys went to the fire station (again). We have a volunteer fire station around the corner. I feel like I either need to apologize to the firemen or bake them something because I have a feeling the boys will want to go there every week. I asked Justin today what he wanted to do tomorrow and he says, "See firetrucks. Ride inside." Oh boy!

Matthew's New Room

Matthew has finally gotten his own room. The room has been painted and finished since the end of the summer (I think). It's been so long I can't remember anymore. The only thing that was missing was the bed (and Matthew). So finally, he's all set. Yesterday was his first nap/bedtime in his own room. I was totally expecting screaming. Nope! He seems to love it. He took a three hour nap yesterday. Last night when we said, "bedtime", Matthew walked right to his new room and got into bed. Life is good when you have your own room!

Rice Cakes

So we are grocery shopping at Harris Teeter this morning. We get to the rice cake aisle and Justin goes up to the shelf and picks out his type of rice cakes (cheddar only). So he holds up the bag and asks, "Open?" While we are shopping, my cute little man is walking around the store, with his open bag of rice cakes just munching away. Way too cute!
