The Little Boys

I tend to call Ethan and Madeline "the kids" and Cooper and Oliver "the little boys".  Not sure when that started, but it sort of stuck.  Someday, they won't be little though.  But for now, they are the little boys.  And they sure are cute!

I admit, Oliver is trying my patience these days.  What can I say, he IS three after all.  He tends to moan a lot and like to do things himself (very slowly) and run away when we need to load in the car for the 12th time in the day.  I can't blame him too much.  Except maybe for the moaning...I hope that's a phase!

But I love how he watches shows with his hand on his cheek!  He never moans while his show is going.  Lol!

 And I love how he plays twister too.  Finding cars the right colors and putting them on the circles.

 Oliver looked up and said, "Mom, please take a picture of me mom!"

 It's days like this when I miss him taking naps

 But then he gets all cute like and says stuff like, "Look mom, I'm drawing a truck...but, it doesn't look like a truck!"

I had fun on a date with Cooper Saturday morning.  Donuts and cinnamon rolls for breakfast is always a win.  Especially with this kiddo.  He always likes going and doing.  Which isn't really my forte.  He often says, "I'm bored" at home.  I think he'll like going to kindergarten this fall.  I'm not always fun enough for this one.

 We also went to sit in the big wooden shoe and see the fish.  He was thrilled like it was the best date ever.  It makes my heart happy when they are easy to please and filled with joy at small things.

 Cooper has been pestering me about seeing his friend Joshua for a couple weeks.  They were sick and so were we, but finally I could schedule a play date.  Cooper was SO EXCITED that he made a paper chain to count down the days until Joshua comes.  Then he added a couple more for when we go to Utah!  I love how he makes paper chains for everything!

I'm so incredibly grateful for my little boys.  I love my little boys SO MUCH!!!
