School Pictures

The boys had school pictures taken a few weeks ago. Amazingly, they turned out great, and they even smiled!! We just can't believe how big they're getting!

Dump Trucks!!!

We had 3 yards of dirt delivered on Saturday to put into Laura's new backyard vegetable garden. Needless to say, the boys were THRILLED with their new dirt pile. We watched the dump truck dump the dirt, and then, of course, we had to re-enact the whole scene multiple times.

All-in-all, a fun time was had by all (except those of us actually having to move the dirt). Will was a great little helper, and Alex was... well, Alex was Alex. :)

Cooking With The Boys on Christmas Eve

Tonight, we (and by "we" I mean Laura) were preparing a Christmas Eve dinner in preparation for an evening with Uncle Rick and Aunt Marcy. We decided to have fondue, and the boys were up to the challenge of cooking. Here's a short video of the experience.

Will even learned how to say "fondue."

Shoes and Goldfish

Alex loves big shoes, whether they're mine or Laura's (I've got to get some footage of Alex in Mommy's shoes).  Here he is walking in mine.  Of course, Will can't let Alex have too much solo camera time, so he comes in for his close up, and to ask for a snack.  Alex is pretty agreeable to that, too.

Beeyoons!!

We had a little Halloween party yesterday afternoon with some of the neighborhood kids that are about Will's and Alex's age.  Laura bought some helium-filled Halloween balloons.  Well, the boys love helium balloons!  But they don't pronounce "balloon" very well.  Alex's pronunciation is pretty good, but Will calls them "beeyoons."  Here's a video of him with his beeyoon. 

And here's Alex showing off his knowledge of colors (and getting a little help from Will).
