a little bit of this... a little bit of that.

mason loves carter.
carter is annoyed by mason.
lather, rinse, repeat...

whenever carter plays his DS, mason drops everything and wants to watch carter. this annoys carter to no end. what's a mom to do? i have told carter that if he doesn't want mason to watch him, then he needs to play up in his room. well, carter doesn't like to be alone, and he figures having mason over his shoulder is the lesser of the evils.

fridays are great... no homework, it is the only night we skip bath/shower. it is an easy night. carter wanted some DS time, and of course mason wanted to watch. but unlike most night, carter didn't seem annoyed. the boys were talking, and hanging out and actually getting along.

i took the first picture b/c it cracks me up to always see mason watching carter. soon enough the boys were all cuddled together... and they actually had a really great night of getting along. yay for brothers!!!!



on sunday night we had a little wii time before bed. the boys boxed and it was so funny to watch... mason's little butt was shaking and his arms were going a mile a minute.

i know i have mentioned in the past that the wii is really fun for family time, especially in the winter when we are stuck inside more. we had our neighbors over for some game time, and we are planning a wii night with friends.


and now to the little lady in the house... she has sure kept me busy. i'm not really a fan of childproofing. i try to do things as needed and just the basics. i had the play room gated, as a safe place for her to play. hadley would scream every time we were in there. she hated being gated in. so i took down the gates and now we are just waiting to see what the little lady is going to get into.

she's enjoying her freedom... and her shirt says it all. she has been quite the daddy's girl lately. not to worry, she still loves her mama, but she will cuddle with craig all. day. long. the boys never showed him the love and affection that she does. and craig loves it!!!


she is also becoming a girlie girl. she likes to walk around with her purses. i love it!!! oh, and speaking of being a girlie girl, i have no idea what to do with her hair these days? she pulls out all hair clips and bows that look cute. she doesn't mind the "sprout", but her hair is getting too long for that. pig tails come out when she sits in her car seat... so i tried a headband. i got it at target and i thought it would look cute with her easter dress. she actually likes it. i may have to find some more and see how they stay in.

and finally her new ball house. i had craig set it up for her in the bonus room for when i am in my room getting ready, she has a place to play. she loves it!!! the boys will even sit in there with her and play, and it is so cute.




oh, and here's a couple more pics...



oh, and now that's it's february, we are onto the heart sandwich. about 2 years ago when i was desperate for mason to eat a sandwich, i was trying everything! for some reason the boy who would eat just about anything, didn't want to eat a simple pb&j. so i used a cookie cutter to make it fun, and he ate it up. mason hates crust, so it was a simple fix. and i am still doing it for him. usually me, hadley or carter will eat his sandwich leftovers...

  3. I, too, could have written your first paragraph! Benjamin is fascinated with Andrew, and Andrew won't give him the time of day!

    I echo your sentiments about the babyproofing. But B gets into everything...UGH! Thankfully, he loves to play in the bonus room w/the gate up. At least for now. Hopefully that will last!
