Laundry and dishes...sometimes it feels like that is all my life is.. plus feeding kids -which just leads to more laundry and dishes. I dont mind either task that much but its a little mind numbing to load and unload and reload all day, everyday. its to the point where i spend hours looking up vacation sites and cruise deals online, planning my escape. i dont want to escape my life - just the dishes and laundry.

Valentine cookies Really taste better before you cook them

or at least thats what tate thinks. He would take great care to roll and cut out the cookie then he'd immediatly stuff it into his mouth! I only let him make a few though cuz I think its mildly dangerous to eat a whole pound of uncooked cookie dough!

Owie!

What a little soldier! Since we have been expanding tates head he often points to his head and says owie! but that is about the extent of his complaining, of course he crys alot when we give his injection but who wouldn't when you get a shot right in your forehead! I am really amazed what a tough little guy he is!

Aww, how sweetCan I just brag about what a good big brother Ty is?! He is so sweet to tate, here he is comforting Tate when he didn't feel so good. They never fight cuz Ty always just gives tate what he wants, to Tate's detriment, but its still sweet. And he is so protective of him. He gets mad if I make tate cry or try to discipline him, and I'm always telling him to just let tate cry cuz we dont want to spoil him(too late). But I'm so proud of Ty and what a good brother he is.

When its too cold outside...

when Tyler asks what he can do I always say "use your imagination", sometimes with disastrous results. This day he put a mattress on the stairs and made a slide which i thought was a good use of imagination.(i used to do the same thing when I was little) and they played for hours till Tate got hurt(always the inevitable end to all games). And if my camera could take a decent motion shot Id have some great pictures but as it is they are a little blurry but still post worthy.
