Leaf pile, part II

Maybe it's because chores at home don't result in as much satisfaction for them as this one.

If only they could be this industrious and cheerful about assigned chores!

Happy boys

They slept that way all night and came in to our bedroom together this morning all cheerful. It was one of the easiest mornings we've had in awhile.

Goodnight my sweet boys

Just when it seems all craziness and nagging and messy rooms and dirty bathrooms, there comes a moment like this... The picture is crummy, but I didn't want to wake them up to try again in the dark.
The short story: I was reading a story to Avi in bed and Noah came to join us, something he hasn't done in awhile. He squished in bed with us and when the story was over he said, "Remember when we used to sleep together?"
Avi replied, "Yeah, I liked that."
Noah didn't make any signs of moving and so I asked if they wanted to sleep together. They agreed. I told them they had to be quiet and go right to sleep or I'd separate them. I kissed them both and left. And here they are two hours later. Sweet boys.

Home decorating, boy style

There could be a whole blog just filled with daily pics about how my boys like to "decorate" the house. Don't miss the rubber bands in the tangle below.
