Winter Doldrums

I haven't posted much lately as we haven't been doing much of anything! It's been super cold outside so we have been housebound. We try to go out and play or ride bikes but after ten minutes the boys want to come in. So, we have tried to make the best of our inside time. Oh, and we spend a lot of time at the library.... Did I mention that I hate winter?!

We are really looking forward to Tuesday when Mimi and Papaw come to visit. Papaw is dropping Mimi off and then heading down to Mississippi to see his Dad. Mimi will stay with us for the week, HOORAY!! The boys are so excited....So, am I!! I need to talk to someone about something other than Star Wars, swords, cars, or monster trucks.

We have had more sword fights that I can possibly count. An epic battle breaks out at least every hour or so. We are fortunate that no one has lost an eye....yet.

Both boys are usually well armed. You never know when you have to defend the house from Darth Vader.

We pull the couch bed out all the time. It doubles as a fort, boat, car, flying carpet, etc.

We do a lot of lounging. At least the boys love to be together. I would be in trouble if they didn't. Notice Myles "stopper" (pacifier)? This should be one of the last pictures with it in his mouth. He knows that we are going to throw them away when he turns two. The day is arriving soon. I can't wait, that thing drives me crazy!


Here is the self proclaimed "bad guy". Grady is always, "Yoda or Luke Skywalker" so that leaves Myles as the bad guy. He doesn't seem to mind.

Let the battle begin!! They duel to the death....
