Cool Guy at the Gym

I couldn't resist snapping a few pictures of this little cool guy as we walked into the gym a few mornings ago.

I got two miles in on the treadmill when I heard my name called over the intercom- cool dude had pooped in the childcare room.  After changing him I got two more miles completed and I heard my name again.  This time Matthew had sweet-talked the ladies in the childcare center to call me by pleading, "Please I have my mommy...I'm tired...please I have my mommy."  They said after he said "please" they couldn't resist!

My Little Helper

We have been running VERY low on Ethan and Matthew's tube of toothpaste-so low that Ethan can no longer squeeze it out himself and he needs one of us to pinch out the last bits.

He has been asking me to pick up a new tube of toothpaste for a while- and finally this morning he just said he would help be with my list so I wouldn't forget to buy it!

Just Exhausted...

The last few weeks have just been exhausting.  I've had two out of town work trips, a family trip to CA for Tracy's wedding (so fun!), a round of stomach flu's for all, long work days for me (and very early mornings for the boys).  So I guess it's not surprising that it finally caught up with us!  Matthew actually passed out on the couch while I was making lunch, and Ethan crawled into his bed during quiet time and passed out for a nap (which never happens anymore).  We are glad that things have slowed down this week as we head into Thanksgiving!

Brotherly Love

I turned around in the kitchen the other day, and the boys were giving each other this big hug.  That happens a lot lately...big sweet brother hugs.  Then there are the other times where they are working a bit harder at their "pecking order."  I am typically not running for my camera at those moments ;-). But this one- I'll gladly capture and freeze time for a bit!
