We all want to start by wishing the boys’ cousin Kayla a very happy thirteenth birthday!! We hope it was an awesome day for you!

It was just another busy day for us. When I took Trevor grocery shopping this morning, I let him walk in the store. He helped get the items we needed and put them in the cart. He did surprisingly well, but I can pretty much count on him never wanting to ride in the cart again.

The boys both LOVE the movie Wall-E and ask for it every day. The best part is that so much of the beginning of the movie has little or no dialogue, so Trevor narrates it. When Wall-E goes opens his solar panel to charge his battery, Trevor says, “Here comes my favorite part!” His observations are so cute and funny, it makes me see the movie in a whole new light.

There are a couple of cute pictures of Trevor playing with a big pile of “gems”.

Then there was the big pillow fight

Mr. Monkey is getting more bold

Big hugs to the birthday girl!!!

I took Trevor to Toys R Us this morning and just let him go up and down aisles. We didn’t buy anything, just explored. He did a lot of walking, and of course he did not want to leave.

We got home late for lunch, Trevor had a big appetite.

Twins have to share everything 🙂

Ready for some king of the pillow hill

Brendan has too many choices

Trevor climbed into the box and asked to be put on the shelf

Monkey see, Monkey insists that he has to do it too

“Oh, look. Pizza!”

Since moving so many of the toys to the playroom, we don’t have to do the big “Inventory Undo” game as often. Cleaning is still a good way to keep them occupied indoors when it is just me and the boys, and a good scrub down was really needed!

Trevor takes care of the dog hair build up in the toybox

He is so good with his little vacuum. We had to buy another one for parts because some pieces broke. It gets used OFTEN.

Trevor was OK with Brendan using the little one

“I’d rather play XBox”

They are such good helpers

Hmmmm?

Brendan thinks Trevor is hilarious

Trevor pushed the recliner in to place so he could use it to get into Brendan’s bed…

…the crazy way

I really thought Brendan was going to try it too

Brendan makes his own kind of trouble

Crazy in action

There was something cool I forgot to mention in yesterday’s blog. Brendan made his first pee on the big potty!! I put him on every night before bath time, this was the first time he actually went!
Tonight, we had another small success with Trevor. He pooped in the potty, although it was only because I caught his signal and whipped him on there quickly. Still, I guess I have to order him the take-apart airplane that I have been using to try to bribe him. 🙂

We scrubbed, mopped, cleaned, did tons of laundry, and had a pretty good day.
