Boys in a Box

We recently bought a large desk configuration and ended up with tons of boxes.  They boys used all the boxes and styrofoam to make an excellent fort!

Cache decided the fort needed some 'windows' so he got a few kid-safe (if there is such a thing) knives and made windows (which consisted of stabbing the boxes repeatedly).  Easton was happy to help...

Baby Power

The twins still love Baby Einstein.  They both know how to turn the tv on with the remote.  When I pick up the remote, Xander races to the tv and laughs!  Should I be proud of this?  Probably not.  But I think I am!

Book time!  Xander especially loves books.  They will grab a book and climb into their chairs and 'read'.  The books of choice these days are touch n' feel books and flap books.

Thanks to my budding new photographer, Easton, a picture of me feeding the twins...

They love climbing on each other.  Declan tends to attack by biting while Xander uses his brute size.

Both babies love playing with my phone...

One of the many times I've caught them trying to get into legoland!

Declan LOVES climbing in and out of boxes...

I love Declan's smug expression.  He climbed up on the train table all by himself.  The table comes up to his chest...I'm not quite sure how he did it, but he was very proud of himself!

Other twin updates...both can stand unassisted and take a couple steps, Xander has 6 teeth while Declan has 10 going on 12!  Xander is a talker.  He can repeat a million words and 'sing' happy birthday.   Declan enjoys  screaming.  If there is something he wants and can't have, he screams!  Both are completely proficient going up and down stairs and love bathtime and the outdoors!

Zen

Once in a while there are moments of Zen.  In our house, Zen is any moment where all 4 boys are playing nicely together!

Hours of Zen playing Batman Imaginext...

Watching a herd of 6 deer in the yard...

Home Depot

Every month, David takes the big boys to Home Depot for their free workshop.  This month the boys made planters.  Nothing ever grew, but they enjoyed making and painting them!

10 Minute Countdown...

I was ready to be done with the 3 gingerbread houses on the counters so I made the boys a deal...they could eat as much candy as they wanted within 10 minutes.  At the end of the 10 minutes, we threw away whatever was left.  

The boys thought this was a great idea and I must say, they did a fantastic job eating the candy!

I love Cache's big cheek in this picture...
