Going straight to pictures today..

Brendan only looks like he is reading an animal book upside down, but it is really his journal of mischievous plans.

I was trying to take a picture of Trevor in his cute crab outfit but I was obviously standing in his way

Brendan loves to crash blocks and I was trying to motivate him to crawl.

So far he just likes to scoot backwards!

While I wasn’t looking, Brendan stacked the blocks up. He is trying to outdo his brother in advanced block stacking.

“Theeeyyyy’re Heeere.” Wait, wrong movie!

This is Trevor’s self portrait.

Trevor loves his tunnels. He needs his cousins to build him a fort.

It was just me and the boys this afternoon and I did my best to keep them entertained without TV. They are just all go go go.
Bill’s sisters are all in town to clean up and prep their dad’s old house for sale. They have a lot of work to do too. Same plan tomorrow!

Gramma’s package is back in Los Angelas again! Tuesday it will be three weeks from the day I sent it priority mail. I am just in utter disbelief!

Today was a complete 180 from yesterday. Both boys slept nicely through the night and woke up in good moods. Trevor ran some errands with me this morning and then I took him to the park to swing and run around. I must have totally worn him out because he took an almost 3hr nap!

Brendan was in a great mood today and played and did hours of tummy time. He didn’t nap much, but he sure worked hard. He seems to have adjusted to the new fluid/food rate. He definitely needed the extra water.

I don’t know what the difference is between days like today and days like yesterday. I wish I knew the secret! I went to bed last night at 9PM and Bill waited up for the nurse at 11PM. It was nice to go to bed early, I really needed it! I took a nap when the boys went down today too. I have just felt so drained, it is nice to be able to rest.

Brendan sat on the couch and read his book this morning.

Silly boy!

Brendan is safe from the head pats in his pillow fort on the couch! Trevor still comes by for a chat!

Trevor toddles everywhere now. He can easily stand up from the floor without anything to pull up on. (He was dressed most of the day, he just woke up from his nap and got out of jammies)

You have to have sunlight to see the bed-head Trevor has!

The boys still completely wear me out, but it is just a lot better when they do it with smiles.

Some days the boys just wear me down. The whining, tantrums, climbing, falling, smacking, spilling, pulling, typing, breaking, blurping, drooling and gagging just chip away at my calm. I try very hard not to snap and yell at them even though I sure do feel like it sometimes.

I didn’t take any good pictures today but I did capture a video that makes me laugh. I don’t know what Trevor says to Brendan, but it is sure hilarious. I think he wanted Brendan to cover for him while he tried to escape under the tool box.

Trevor’s new word is “car”. He uses it right too. He like to go outside and see cars and then makes a car sound. Bill walked him past the neighbor’s house and back while I gave Brendan a bath tonight, so hopefully he is worn out and sleeps well. He tossed and turned so much last night, maybe that is why he was so cranky today!
