Cute things...

Kids can be so darn cute sometimes. These are my recent favorite "moments":

Evan is such a loving little dude. If I sit with my arms stretched out with a big smile on my face, he starts giggling and eventually comes over and gives me the biggest bear hug his little body can muster. Today he was happily playing on the floor and I tried this move. It took about 20 seconds for him to come running. Love it!

Aubrey's verbal skills shock and amaze me daily. The other night we were rocking and she put her hand on my shoulder and asked, "Mommy, what's this?" I told her that it was my shoulder. She said, "No mama. This is your Holy (then pointed to the other shoulder) and this is you spirit." If you point to hers and ask what they are, she says the same. Guess this changes the whole "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes" song. How sweet!

Every day at preschool drop off, Aubrey will not walk out the door until she hugs and kisses Evan while he is standing in line. Thankfully, he is still totally into this and it doesn't bother him in the least.

Not so cute moments:
The "I Do It!" phase. They demand independence in anything and everything. Boy does it take a long time to get out the door these days.

Screaming. For no reason. Just to see how loud they can be. The neighbors are thankful that the open window season is coming to an end.

Tantrums. Times 2 some days. Do they ever end? If the answer is no, please let me down gently.

I love these crazy maniacs of mine!
