Random & Rad

Random pictures that are all so rad is the story of my life with these boys.  Rad meaning so cool, great or awesome.  Just in case you don’t use words like that, sometimes I must explain myself. 

What’s laundry day in this house without turning the basket into something other than a basket?  The day they don’t do that is the day I know they are all grown up.  This time instead of a boat or racecar it was a simple seat cushioned with down pillows and complete with a Dr. Seuss pillow and blanket while watching Dino Dan or something!

 

Fell asleep for nap in the chair. 

Bradley still talks to him like, “Oh, Easty, I just love you so much, you are so cute and chunky and I could just kiss you all up!” It never gets old. 

 

 

He does get some alone time too. 

One rainy day when I laid out this paper and they colored on it all day.  Daddy even had fun with it too.  Calling his drawings “art?” LOL, his humor sometimes ;)  These boys don’t have an artistic chance with the two of us.  Not saying we need an artist but this is just not one of our great gifts.  Aunt Brittany better get here soon and teach them while they are moldable.  I actually saw in one of Bradley’s highlights books a step by step how to draw a horse with shapes and I said “Oh, Bradley this is great.  I can learn too with you!” Loser!

One day when we wanted to go to the park anyways.  I got them in somewhat coordinating clothes and attempted to get a group photo of them for Christmas cards.  Here are all the ones (some still good) that did not make the cut. 

 

After that hard work it was time for a water break. 

This picture of Gavin is priceless! The funnier part is that I could have put my camera down and helped him get a drink of water.  If I was being a good mommy I wouldn’t even have this picture.  He can’t even reach it to drink even if he would have been able to push the button.  Seeing this picture afterwards was like a “Here’s your SIGN, MOM” moment that I had.  Notice, I said moment.  I will probably go back to neglecting them from time to time still. 

 

 

Easton has become a wonderful eater of so many varieties of food.  I will have to tell you all about it once I do his 11 month post.  I need to do that! He was 11 months on Wednesday. 

On a great note, Gavin now sleeps in a “big guy bed!!” Is everyone cheering hooray for him?  We were hesitant since he is the crazy fearless one but he LOVES it and we have not had any more issues than we already did.  He would climb out of his crib so we figured if he climbed out of the bed it would be the same work for us.  He does do that and falls asleep at the foot of the door sometimes.  We have to pry the door open while it moves him and then carry him into bed.  That has happened twice but this is night 5 and he is doing great.  We have a checklist we go down.  He has his 2 tigers and 2 monkeys and blanky. We say prayers and then kisses and love you’s! He is in Bradley’s twin bed and Bradley now sleeps in a double bed.  They are diagonal from each other sharing a room now to sleep! This transition has also NOT disrupted nap time.  He enjoys a good 3 hour nap daily in this bed. 

Last but certainly never least, we had some play time with our friends at the park. 

 

Waiting for Bradley and Sophia to slide down the toys. 

Gavin helping him put his shoes on.  Great attempt.  You have to start somewhere!

Discussing their plan to get them on and plan C; which is just to boycott wearing shoes all together.

See, All RAD stuff!
