oh brother....

THESE KIDS ARE SO DAMN CUTE!!!

i'm not sure how 2 kids can possibly be so super cute....and yet such terrors at times! i'm convinced, after talking with many of my friends, that kids have several different personalities throughout their childhood....and whichever one wins out, is the one they move into adulthood with. i mean, seriously.....one minute these boys can be saying the sweetest thing with the cutest darn look on their faces ("i love you mommy. you're the best!)....give 'em another minute, they'll be telling you how you're the worst mommy ever (of course, it's all because you wouldn't let them have the entire box of cookies, but rather, just one or two!). well....as much as they can drive me up a wall....i'm here to show you how cute they CAN be together....

here ya go....

purim carnival (think andrew had to pee?!?!)

off to the playground after school

yesterday, andrew asked jacob if he wanted to go upstairs and cuddle in his bed (how cute is that?!?!)

showing off their new mugs from nanny & papa...and reminiscing about our FL trip

to think back on some of the more challenging times we've had with andrew and how much he has grown over the past year, you can only IMAGINE how happy times like these make me feel! i think back to the days when i was afraid to leave them in a room alone together. now...i can honestly say that i believe these boys will be best friends for life!!!

headache from hell...

last wednesday evening i completed a great 5.2 mile run on the treadmill...and was SO excited about it, i decided to celebrate with a glass of wine after putting the kiddos to bed. can we say...backfire! i ended up with the most horrible migraine ALL NIGHT and was still feeling bad in the morning...bad enough to have to miss work. i figured the headache(s) had to be from the combination of dehydration and wine...makes sense, right?!?!

while the migraine has subsided, i've continued to have headaches pretty much every day since then...so now we're talking over a week. so as not to become concerned with the headaches, i've been coming up with a few reasons i might be getting them...not drinking enough water, tired, the weather (is that even an excuse?), etc.

this morning, it HIT ME...like a load of bricks (oh wait...that would probably result in another bad headache)...i have these headaches because i have two totally crazy wild boys, who have decided the BEST way to bond, is to have screaming contests! while i LOVE to see them "bonding", i can think of 100, probably more, ways they could do it, rather than loud shrieks! i'm not exaggerating either...this is how it will play out...

andrew will say, "jacob scream"...jacob will the scream...andrew will then scream louder...jacob will then scream even louder...on and on until one of them decides he doesn't want to play anymore (usually jacob) or until i scream that they need to stop screaming :)

and i thought the headache was from the wine...NAH...pour me another glass...i need it!

brotherly love...

many of you have emailed me asking how things went with soccer last week. to make a long (and exhausting!) story very short, we went every day...andrew did not participate at all. when asked about soccer camp, his response has been something like..."it was boring"..."i cried a lot"..."it was stupid" at first glance i thought "what a waste of money!"...but now i realize it was money well spent! i think he learned a lesson about sticking it out...even if you don't love it!



aside from that update, i wanted to post this adorable picture of the boys...i don't get too many like this, so i wanted to share it...ENJOY!
