Disneyland thus far...

Well the 3 wild and crazy boys have indeed arrived in Disneyland. Can you see their smiles?!

Its looks like they are having so much fun! I wish I could have gone. But alas the animals would have to fend for themselves. :)

They rode my favorite ride and Nathan was the only one who enjoyed it. Zach and Noah thought it to be too scary. They met their hero, Buzz Lightyear, and were all talking about it most of the day.

I've been a busy little critter. Between crafts, science projects, and our other typical daily stuff the boys and I have been a little busy. The boys have also been helping me grow a vegetable garden this year. We started several plants indoors and then moved them outside. We also planted carrots, which are a favorite of the boys. Yesterday we were rewarded with our first grown tomato of the season. Now granted it was tiny and a cherry tomato but the boys loved looking at the yellow tomato they grew. None wanted to try it so mom ate it and it was delicious. I can't wait for more.

The boys are getting even better at the bird watching in our yard. They can identify several species of birds and they help keep the bird feeders filled with each birds favorite type of food. Its so much fun watching them get excited over the birds.

Noah is pretty much potty trained now too. Again I have to say my approach to the potty training has saved me so much stress. He still forgets every once in awhile about pooping but otherwise he's doing great. It's going to seem weird not having to buy a huge box of diapers each month. We still use diapers at night although if they want to wear underwear to bed I let them. We haven't had an accident yet but I'm so scared of an accident happening.

Last night we went to the Syracuse Hertiage Days dinner and magic show. While the food wasn't too impressive, and how can it be when its massed produced, it was fun. The boys throughly enjoyed the magic show. Syracuse had a great turnout for the night. It makes me wonder why my city, Clearfield, can't do something like this. I was asked to join the 4th of July committee for Clearfield but after being told every idea I had wouldn't work I lost interest and dropped out. Honestly if Syracuse and do a week long celebration and have the turn out they did last night each night then I think Clearfield could draw the same amount if not more people. I hate the city I live in. They really don't do much to bring the city together like I see the other cities around us doing.

September 27

It's been a rough couple of days. I don't know why but the twins really need a nap but they do everything in their power to avoid naps. I wouldn't mind if they went to bed easily at night but its a battle every night. I get so tired of fighting them to go to bed. On the weekends its not a big deal as I can turn the television on in the living room and they can stay out with their dad until they get tired but during the week its a huge deal. I really need my 8-10 hours of sleep or I don't function well at all.

I had a migrane headache yesterday. Lucky for me the boys took pity on me and took it easy until dad came home. Noah kept asking if I was "o-tay" and patting my head. Nothing makes you feel better than your two year old getting himself into the perfect position to look you right in the eye, stick his fingers up your nose with one hand, and with the other patting your head while asking if your o-tay.

God bless our neighbors in the back. My boys love these two ladies to death and they are just angels with the boys. I'm not sure what problems they have but I think they are developmentaly delayed in some ways but they are just the sweetest ladies. They love the boys as much as the boys love them. They are constantly bringing treats for the boys and just love to listen to them talk and play. A couple of weeks ago they asked if they could take the boys to the park and I really wasn't sure so I went with them, the park is across the street from their house, but now I feel quite comfortable with them taking the boys. The boys listen very well for them and those two ladies are constantly looking out for the boys. We are truly blessed to have such sweet ladies living behind us.
