There wasn’t much holiday about this holiday except that Bill did not have to log in to his job. He did a lot of other work instead, and I did what I do every day. Happy Labor Day to everyone that was able to enjoy it!

I only have a silly video of Trevor for tonight. He was in his bedroom with me trying to have some “quiet time” while Brendan took his nap. Trevor is usually good about reading books or playing ipad. Today he discovered the app that can view the feed from his spycam and he was watching himself watch himself watch himself on the screen. With the sound on and the minor delay in the camera feed, any sound he made created an infinite echo effect. He thought it was HILARIOUS.
Even though it kept him occupied, it was not really quiet and he had to be corrected several times for being very loud!

Watch out for your volume on this.

By the way the video was taken from the app that he was using, recording the feed as it happened to capture the extra level of infinite Trevor.

It was a terrible night for me, by the time 4:30am came around and I still hadn’t slept, Bill came out and took over. Brendan slept well but his oximeter was giving me fits. Just as I got that worked out and had barely put my head down on the pillow, Trevor opened his door and said, “What is going on in here?”. I got him back to sleep just in time to come out and see Brendan standing in bed. It didn’t take too much to get him sleeping when Trevor called me again.

The morning was rough, everyone was tired and lacking sufficient sleep. When the boys were finally playing nice, I stepped out of the playroom for some coffee. Within a minute, I hear, “Brendan, you are SQUISHING ME!!!!”

It was 112 degrees according to the car thermometer so we were trapped. In the evening, we went outside to wait for the ice cream truck and we had to use the sprinkler to stay cool. (The rash guard shirts are more for mosquitos than sun or rash!)

Brendan pitches a fit because he has to have whatever toy Trevor has in his hand.

Trevor calls him for being dramatic

I don’t know if you will get tired of seeing these videos, but you will feel tired after watching this one!

The ice cream truck never showed, but the boys went to bed easily. I hope for sleep tonight.

Brendan wanted to wake up Trevor this morning. But that didn’t go so well.

We had an opportunity to attend another HopeKids event this morning. We were able to get in to the Phoenix Children’s Museum to see if the boys were old enough to enjoy it yet. The girls scoped out this place last year when they visited, that seems like a lifetime ago! It was PACKED and noisy, and both boys were a bit overwhelmed, but they settled in and had some fun.

Going through the car wash, yeah!

Delivering the mail

Trevor was fascinated by the random xylophones made out of bolts and wrenches. Both boys liked to play them.

Race ya!

Noodle forest. Large children running and howling like monkeys, employees yelling “walk! waaalk!! WALK!!!!” Lots of toddler collisions.

Brendan handled all the noise and madness very well.

And after allllllll that….two boys, no naps!!

I took them to Sam’s Club by myself in the afternoon in order to keep them busy and because we needed diapers. To make my life easier, I bribed them with frozen yogurt so that they would ride quietly in the cart. It worked.
