If Only I Could Sleep This Soundly

I didn't think anything could top Malachi's awesome sleep positions, in which his tush is usually WAY up in the air. . .

Until we discovered Javen at 11pm sleeping in his room (which does have two perfectly good beds in it, by the way) like this . . .

And then the flashes from my camera caused him to stir a bit and rearrange himself from his floor/chair hybrid position to this . . .

It's the Little Things

Last week held a big moment for Javen. The boys LOVE lizards these days, and usually when we go outside I will catch one for them to hold. Last week, Javen caught his first lizard ALL BY HIMSELF with no help from Mommy. He was not even phased when it bit him (and if you saw him last week, i'm sure he has already told you all about every detail of the chase and capture). :)

He could not have been more pleased about his accomplishment and was quick to share his moment of glory with Malachi, giving his little brother a chance to hold it for a moment before letting it go.

Have I mentioned before that I love spending my moments and my days with these two little characters? I'm eternally grateful and in awe that the Lord chose me to be the mother of these sweet boys.

The Joys of Parenthood

Some days I can barely remember what it was like to shower without an audience.

Boys

Just a few of the rules of boyhood . . .

#1: Upsidedown is always more fun.

#2: If you can hang from it, do so.

#3: If you can climb on top of it, do so.
#4: After you climb up, jump off.
(yes, this is our under construction bedroom, it's not pretty. or neat.)

#5: Puddles are for jumping and splashing . . . and the dirtier the water, the better . . .
#6: When possible, wear rain boots - you never know when you will find a puddle and must always be prepared.

OUCH!
