I thought of more things I wanted to write:

1) The boys are obsessed with coloring right now.  I remember going to a 4-year old's b-day party a while back and I asked the mom what she would want for her b-day.  The mom said "just get her a coloring book and crayons."  I thought that was terrible!  I'm not going to the dollar store to get that poor baby a coloring book and crayons!  I'm getting her a TOY!  And I did.  Looking back, I should have gotten her a coloring book and crayons.  She would have been much happier.

2) I love how the boys pick up on trendy little phrases that Steven and I use.  I work in a middle school and Steven works around younger guys, so we say things like "dude" and "sweet" a lot.  Lately I've been saying "whaaaaaat?!" b/c that's what all the middle schoolers are saying right now (as much as I try to avoid sounding like a middle schooler it's inevitable that I'm going to).  So now P is saying "whaaaaaaat?!" about everything.  It's hilarious.

3) The boys are also into board games.  As a teacher, I *love* this b/c board games teach kids so much - counting, taking turns, color/number identification, sportsmanship, etc.  As a mom, I love this b/c it means good quality time with the family.  When Steven and I aren't available to play, the boys pull out games and make up their own rules.  It's great.  The only problem is 1) P hates to lose and 2) L loves to brag.  Gotta work on that.....

4) Landon was coloring a picture and he asked "mom, what color is Sadie's hair?"  P interjected "peachish!"  So then L asked "well, what color is mommy's hair?"  P answered "peachish brownieish!"  LOL.....it's true, I have stopped coloring my hair so it *is* quite peachish brownieish these days.....
