February

We went for a nice walk around a nature preserve near us with some friends. Graham was very stylish in his sunglasses.

They re-discovered their Mickey Mouse hats from Disneyland last year, but now they both want to wear the Tigger one and there's a lot of fighting about it. Hooray.

We cleaned our carpets one Saturday (OH MY GOSH IT'S AMAZING) and tried to distract the boys by letting them play on the Kindle together. It was cute until they both really wanted to play at the same time.

A new fancy donut place came to town, which has enormous-sized donuts with all sorts of toppings. They have a super long wait all the time, but we went for FHE one night and both boys were super excited to get a Cookie Monster donut.

Everyone wearing robes and hoods for book time at night.

Some of Tommy's second cousins came over for dinner.

We went to a Valentine's Day preschool party at the church and the kids exchanged valentines and played some games. Thank goodness for more organized and crafty moms than I am so my kids get to do fun things.

Doing a donut-eating contest with their mouths only.

Tommy and the boys "heart attacked" my mirror on Valentine's Day. So cute.

Dane spent his whole naptime reading this huge pile of books. 

This belly is getting out of control!

Poor Graham. He does NOT understand why he is not invited to go to Joy School when it is at someone else's house. This is his reaction when I drop Dane off without him. He screamed for at least fifteen minutes straight. It was so sad.

Why, why isn't he invited???

We got new bedside stands and the boys adopted the boxes as little personal hide-outs. Dane has really gotten into it and decorated it with markers all over, had Tommy cut out some windows, and taped cardboard pieces on the top to be "sirens" on the top. They're taking up our whole front room, but they're still enjoying them.

Tommy took the boys out on MLK day and let me have a day all to myself (my request before the baby comes). They went to the gym and swimming and out to eat at In-N-Out for lunch. It was a bit of a waste because I spent the whole time hemming curtains for our room--I should have relaxed a little bit more! But it was nice to get that done. 

Our new and updated bedroom--I feel like it's looking much better and I LOVE our new nightstands that have a cubby for the books so the top isn't just covered in books I'm in the middle of!!

A bad picture, but what it looks like with the curtains in our room now.

Joy School at our house, with Graham as the honorary fourth member.

The boys went and got free slurpees with some coupons we got the other day and could not have been happier.

Dane was so kind and kept picking flowers for me to put in my hair while we were working outside one Saturday.

Everyone all dressed up and ready for church!

Graham is SO funny. Remember how he doesn't talk very much? Well, this face right here--this is how he says "tomato." He does it every time we give him tomatoes to eat, because he used to think they were kind of sour (I guess?) and that he was really funny to make that face when he would eat them. This day, he came over to me in the kitchen and just looked at me making that face. I was laughing because he was smiling so cute, then he grabbed my hand and dragged me in to show me the book he was looking at--and pointed at the picture of tomatoes he was looking at. He had been telling me "tomatoes!" without even trying to say a word. It is so hilarious how he doesn't even try to talk.
