Pictures!

I can't believe Silas is already 6 months! He is such a wonderful baby. He really rarely cries. He's content with anyone and loves watching his brothers. It was so cute the other day, we put him on the floor around the other two. They all just "played" together for the longest time. At least Silas thought they were all playing! :) These years are tough, with three so little, but it's moments like those where I see the beauty in it all...they will be friends and they will play together...one day!

Ok, these are slighty out of order but I don't know what to do with that. Here are the older two playing their favorite thing- Super Heros! Batman and Mr. Incredible (with the outfit on backwards)
Batman teaching Mr. Incredible, and Mr. Incredible intently listening.
I just love Kenan's look in this picture...he loves his brother and thinks he is the coolest thing around. I think Kenan looks like a Sumo wrestler in the outfit
And here's happy little brother again...one day he'll join in all the action!

More quotes

I know I said I'd write something other than quotes from the kids, but ever since I started this blog, it seems like everything they say is funny. Along with that, I have no time to write anything else of worth, so this will have to do. Besides, I've told no one of this blog yet, no one. So really, I'm writing to myself. Thus, who cares if I keep writing things about the boys. By the time I let people know I have a blog, these will be old posts not worth reading. So I guess I'm really just writing these down for my own sake and for the kids, so they can one day read these and know the crazy things they said. 

 The boys haven't slept lately and have been difficult. We were in the car coming home from the hospital. Both boys were screaming (not Silas, the other two). 

I said, "you guys are going to make me looney"

Dawson asked "What does that mean?"

- "It means you are driving me crazy. It means I'm going to loose my mind" 

-"Will you get it back when we stop doing this?"

I know I shouldn't tell them things like that- that I'm going crazy and so forth, and I shouldn't explain it by another phrase that makes no sense to them- loosing my mind-but at least it provided a laugh in a rather frustrating ride home (which by the way is only 2 minutes). 

My plan is to do a lot more Bambara studying this week and then next week get ready for my mom to come!! woo hoo! So hopefully then I'll take the time to learn this blog thing and how to post pictures and so forth. We'll see. That's all for now...

A difficult day

It seems utterly crazy to me that my 5 month old cries considerably less than my almost 4 year old and 2 year old. D and K just love bothering each other. Sometimes I get scared as I realize I have a house of boys- their energy level and way of "dealing" with a situation is much different than how I grew up with my sister. I can only remember a few times of being aggressive with my sister, for which we were thoroughly punished. But these boys- wow- already pushing each other in the face, laying on one another and so forth. Brett and I always talk about the quote someone said that having a three year is like using the blender without the top. I would agree, especially when that three year old is a boy. 

But the whole point of this blog entry was were playing on the floor, the boys were having trouble playing and fussing a lot. Dawson looks at me and says with much frustration and anger, "Mommy, this is a difficult day!"  I asked him why- Jeremie (our house guy) would only give him one popsicle this morning and I took away the Blue Lightning that the boys were fighting over. Man, what a tough day! If only my difficult days could be so "difficult"!

I promise all posts won't just be quotes from the boys. I'll say something else, sometime.
