Saturday: with Ben

Ben entertained the boys while I graded this morning.  It took me a long time to find Isaac.

Joshua got his first coloring book during a Christmas party.  It kept him well occupied, but he went through many pages in a short time, as expected.

Friday: I'm joshua

Isaac: that's the boys' potty.
Amanda: Joshua, are you a boy or a girl?
Joshua: girl
Isaac: no, you're a boy
Joshua: NO! I JOSHA!!

Wednesday: brothers

I was going to talk about how I failed today.  The chex mix had all kinds of fail, I forgot to toast one of the naan breads for dinner, I failed to get Ben to suggest that we should get another cat.  (It was super cute.)

But then bedtime rolled around.  Matching pajamas.  Isaac has quite the chap stick routine lately, involving about three different kinds, but he also puts it on Joshua.  (On Joshua's face, lips, and sometimes in his mouth.)  But they do it together.

Tuesday: end of the school year

It's that time of year...

...the time when people finally check their grades and notice something was wrong with what they submitted online.  I've only been telling them to do this for the last eight weeks.

In other fun news, look at this!  Who would have thought I'd be next to my dad in this list?

Sunday: snow

It snowed out most of the day!  At the end of the day the boys and I played on the deck.  It was a good thing that I went out too, because it was a bit too deep for Joshua at the beginning and I was needed to make some tracks.  Once that initial tracks were out there Joshua adventured between them, but it wasn't quite so overwhelming.

We also made a bunch of tunnels.  The weather was nice because it wasn't very windy or cold, so we could enjoy the snow.


Everything seems to be canceled here for tomorrow.  They even canceled gymnastics, which makes me rather sad.  The boys love going.

Also, more bears.

Saturday: silly driving

Isaac has wanted to take a ride in Ben's new car for a while.  So after rest time, we decided to finally do it.  Joshua asked to go too, so all the boys went out.

They went to the church parking lot to do donuts.  That was Isaac's favorite part.  It sounded like Joshua tolerated it, but Isaac was laughing up a storm.

Then they went through the car wash.  That was Joshua's favorite part.
