Eating bushes and lizards?

We were driving around today and Will told me he wanted to eat bushes. WHAT? A few minutes later he said he wanted to eat lizards in the bushes, but then the spiders would eat his arm. What crazy movies is he watching that i don't know about?

Poor Baby

While I was on the computer this morning, Will started crying very loudly, as though he was hurt very badly (and my son doesn't cry when hurt very often - only when being punished!). So I ran in to see what was wrong. He was laying on the couch watching Veggie Tales. When I asked what happened he said, "the lion scared him". after more prodding and talking he told me that he (meaning daniel) had fallen down and got a boo boo, and the lion scared both daniel and will. (he was watching a bible story one about daniel and the lion's den).
How adorable, pathetic, sad, cute, and weird is that? That is just not like Will! But it was really cute. I had to comfort him and reassure him that Daniel was going to be just fine.

Also, I forgot to mention that Kirstine's first tooth broke last week while we were in Tennessee - FINALLY! It took a long time to come through. I guess she was just waiting for it to happen in TN, which is where Will's first tooth broke through as well, although his didn't happen til he was 9 months old!

Fun pictures of Will

Here are some up close pics of Will. Some of them are very similar, but different enough that i can't tell which i like better.

The Boat Dock

We started out by dressing the boys in matching shirts. Then Will wanted to ride to the boat dock in the wagon, (he tries to make everything attach like a trailer) but we decided that wouldn't be too safe.

When we got to the boat dock we fed the ducks, however one jumped out of the water and stole Will's bread out of his hand so he wouldn't go near the ducks again.

Aunt Rachel had some magnets that the boys had a blast playing with.



And lastly the boys had fun running in circles.

At the Playground

We went to the park that we discovered last time we visited. Can I claim this picture as art instead of accident? (I was definitely aiming for his face)

Do I see a standoff here?

They are looking for bugs and butterflies.

Wagon and Stroller Fun

Will spent the entire week outside pushing his stroller around. Mostly he pushed it around empty, but variations included putting Zebra in it, also Doc Hudson (his car), leaves, and rocks. Later in the week we pulled out the wagon. This wagon is about 80 years old, and was my grandfather's when he was small. Man did they make good quality stuff back then!We have all grown up playing with it, and it is fun to see new generations fall in love with it.

standing

I walked in to get Kirstine out of her crib yesterday and she had finally pulled herself to a standing position. I was so surprised I screamed and shocked her and she jumped and fell down! (i caught her though). Needless to say, I did not capture it in pictures. I tried to recreate the moment today, but she screamed so loudly when i put her in that position it didn't really work. Next time i catch her i'll take a picture!

first teddy

She slept with her teddy bear for the first time. (she chose it over her zebra, i'm so sad)

fun and missing pants

Since i'm so bad about writing down the cute things will says and does in his smurf book (i'll explain later), i'll write them down here so i don't forget. then when i get the book out i will remember what happened.

we're at gran and papa's house, and will said, "gran, i wanna go swimming in papa's pool....it'll be fun!" wherever did he learn that?

we had a birthday party at chuck e cheese today. the sign only has a picture of chuck's top half. when we pulled into the parking lot and he saw the picture on the building he said, "mommy, what happened to chuckie's pants?"

Cuteness

Cute things my kids did today: We were driving to the mall and will said something that sounded like, "mom i see mikasosky". puzzled for only about a minute until i realized he said, "mom i see mike wazowski" - there is a billboard with him on it (he's the green one-eyed monster from monsters, inc. if you don't know). i cracked up when i realized that's what he said.

Later today he was playing at the foot of his bed and wanted Kirstine to sit with him. there are only blankets and stuffed animals down there. All of a sudden he told me, "Kirstine gotta be careful with my stuff!" as if she could hurt his blankets or something.

And Kirstine just rocks. she's the happiest baby ever. and she does this really funny thing with her right hand now (and ONLY the right one). she holds it out and flips it over back and forth and just stares at it. it's like there's something wrong with it. i don't know, but it's adorable!

My kids are so perfect! Here are some recent pics of them. Isn't her pink outfit just the cutest thing ever? It's like a little hippie outfit.
