Gettin it Together - June 2010 Post

I need to get it together seriously! I can not believe the lack of posts. I get so far behind, catching up overwhelms me. I don't know where to begin!

June where did you go?  Another month gone, another month older the babies are!  Austin is almost 21 months as I write this:(  SAD face for sure.  He is turning into a full fledged toddler for sure!  He follows his leader - Logan.  What Logan does Austin will do.  If Logan is screaming, Austin will scream.  If Logan is running, Austin is running.  If Logan is jumping off the couch saying "to infinity and beyond" Austin will jump and say something more like "beyond!"  It is comical to watch the two of them, until I reach my breaking point which thank the Lord is around 5:30 PM each day about an hour before Brian is home.  At that point, I swear they tag team to do anything and everything they can to drive me bananas.  Speaking of bananas - they both (of course) love a banana, but only with it half peeled.  If I peeled it all the way down, their world ends - seriously.  But I digress, Austin is talking all the time.  He says everything, but his favorite word is NO and Mama.  Two things I hear about 20 times an hour.  The sweet way he says mama is wonderful, but No a few less would be nice.  Two nights ago I was putting him to bed and I said "I love you so much sweet boy" and for the first time he said "wuv you." I melted and then yelled to Brian to tell him our little boy said his first I love you.  Logan has been saying I love you for a long time, but each time he says it I melt and everything is right in the world.  Two little boys saying I love you - the best part of life for sure.
Like I said Logan is Austin's leader and boy does Logan know it.  He tells Austin (refers to him as Bits) what to do, what to say, where to go all day.  I love when he tells me that "his bitsy" is awake. We often ask him if he wants another brother or sister and he always says "no I like Bits." Like we are going to replace Austin with another child!  Its very funny and I ask him that a lot just to hear him say that he likes Bits and Bits is his best friend.  Yep he knows best friends and his best friend is his brother.  Again everything is right in my world when I hear that.

Dear time, please slow down.  My babies are growing too quickly and I know that I will soon miss these days, even the hour before daddy comes home when I am going a bit crazy.  I know one day I will wish for 5:30 craziness.
Thank you,
Mommy of two sweet toddlers

Washing their wagon - Logan had Austin scrubbing while he manned the hose!

I turned my head and Austin got a sharpie and drew on the white board
He had to use the magic eraser to clean it up (LOL - I didn't make him scrub it off, but I will say my boys do like to clean.  They love washing windows with windex:)
Austin loves books
They both love Ritas
Dress up time!  Logan as Woody with U. Kevin
Austin as Figment with A. JuJu
He is so cute in this, but HATES it!
Just because its so cute
They call this the monster towel and chase after each other with it on - naked of course! This is Logan
Here is Austin
I found them one June afternoon eating A LOT of candy in the ball pit.
They push their chairs up to the cabinet where the candy is and then run for the ball pit like I won't find them there:)
Best friends - seriously
Rainy day = popcorn and a movie
