these pictures are from yesterday. this is a rare moment these days...both boys playing quietly. i was cooking dinner, which is usually the loudest time of the day. the boys make laps through the house either on foot or with their ride-on toys. and of course, they are screaming and being loud. sometimes it can drive you insane! i think they do it at this time of day b/c they are tired and all the activity keeps them awake.
i definitely think this blog is appropriately name b/c these two boys are like little monkeys climbing and jumping on everything. i think if they could swing from tree to tree, they would! the other day they had slid the mattress off of doodle's bed and were using it as a trampoline. at least it was on the floor so no real fear of anyone falling several feet and getting hurt. i asked my mom the other day if julie and i were like that as kids. she said we were definitely not as physical and rambunctious as the boys. she said most of the time julie and i were content to play barbies or school or other activities that were much more tame. all this activity is definitely a boy thing!
anyway, back to my story. yesterday, i was busy with dinner and noticed the house was strangely quiet. i walked around the corner and peanut was at the bottom of the stairs playing with his wooden animal bus. he stayed there for a long while just taking the animals in and out of the bus and looking at them. doodlebug was parked at the fireplace playing with his leap frog game...Cars of course. he, too, was content with this activity for quite some time.
i had to snap a few pics b/c one of the things i love to do is watch them when they are not paying attention to me and are engrossed in some activity. they can get so intent on what they're doing and so focused. i find it really endearing to watch them, especially b/c it's so rare. they're such nuts all the time that i treasure the quiet, calm moments.
