The B’s were having some quiet time this afternoon…

So I took Trevor to the grocery store. I forgot that the birthday stash was still in the back of the van and when we went to load the groceries, he saw the cement truck.

He reluctantly got in the car seat and kept working on me that he needed the truck. I missed all of his best arguments, but I really loved his “Happy Face” so I had to record it.

Since the cement truck was from Gramma, we had to call and see if it was OK for him to have it now. She said go ahead! He was one happy boy. He checked the engine, gave it a tune up, gassed it up, and was making all the best sound effects while he built a “new sidewalk”.

He didn’t want to share!

He did let Brendan touch it.

Not that Brendan was left out. He got a logging truck like the one that he loves in his iPad app.

He wanted whichever truck was in Trevor’s hands.

Happy dance!

These super silly boys had fun with their early birthday presents. (Turn down volume after last vid!)

When I was putting Trevor to bed tonight (and he did NOT want to go), he said, “Mommy, I am not a good boy.”
I said, “Why, Trevor?”
“I am a sad boy. Rock me.”

How does he come up with this stuff? 🙂

Bill left last night to spend the weekend in Parker, AZ for the annual off-road racing campout. So it figures that Brendan is a total stinker and keeps me up until almost 1:00am with his shenanigans. Then Trevor was up at 5am!

I totally appreciate Marcia coming over to hang out with us this morning. I was able to get a truck load of laundry done and work on some cleaning and moving furniture. We finally sold the sofa from the trailer! Yay! It won’t be taking up so much room in my living room any more.

The boys were all wound up and crazy today. Instead of fighting to try to get them to nap, I decided to meet friends at the Hall of Flame and just skip their nap for them! When your friends live so far across town that it takes an hour or more to get there, they might as well live in a different state. It is hard to plan to get together. It was good to see them all today and the boys had a great time with some friends their age.

Of course I brought the wrong camera for this low light place, and capturing four kids together was nearly impossible.

“Ooops”

They are fascinated with the washing machine now. They will hold their lights and look in and watch the wash for almost the whole cycle.

The boys were super tired the rest of the day but they handled it well and were willing to watch TV while I cleaned and folded laundry.
Brendan is starting to show signs of hunger and is asking for fruit pouches to eat now. He took bites of pretzel today, and chewed bites off of a chicken leg! Go Brendan! He is really making progress now!

I am totally exhausted and I hope the boys SLEEP!

The boys spent the morning at Marshalls shopping in the toy section for birthday gifts. Brendan found this blue owl that he loved. He was making it kiss itself in the mirror.

He really loved it

We came back to Marshalls to get the big cement truck Trevor wanted. He got all comfortable in a dog bed in the store to settle in and play with it. He doesn’t know that Gramma is getting it for him and we brought it home with us. It is still in the back of the van!

Brendan gets in on the fun. Next thing I know, they have pillows and blankets and they are going to take a nap.

They actually did nap, and it made them stay awake tonight until 9:45pm! They had lots of energy to run around in their new Lego Crocs. I haven’t been a big fan of Crocs, but these are so cute!!

They make me very tired!
