So, you should check out my sister-in-law's photography blog for some adorable photos of the boys. :)

A Really Cool Toy

Logan gave this toy to Benjamin yesterday... it's awesome! I was pretty fascinated, too.

All of the little wheels interlock and turn together. You can take wheels out and rearrange them. It's pretty spiffy!

I Think We'll Stick With Two

So, for last night and most of today, we had 4 kids! Brianna and William came for a visit. Here's this morning's breakfast scene.
Brianna is really into this sweet pose.

After breakfast we went by the library to return books, went to Target to pick up a prescription for Benjamin (we quickly got rid of our shopping list and just got the priority item - medicine), and then stopped by the video store to return a broken DVD and rent Underdog (for the kids during the day) and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (for the grown ups this evening).

William almost smiling at lunchtime. He started asking for lunch around 10:30, even though we ate breakfast at 9.

Benjamin was very silly today during bottle times. (He's saying "bottle" now!) He'd lift one foot and then laugh hysterically if you did the same thing. Sometimes he went a little crazy and lifted both feet.

As you can see, our house suffered a bit while the kids outnumbered the grown ups.

After naptime, we ventured outside. Here's Benjamin in a shirt from Aunt Sarah.

Do you know how hard it is to get FOUR children to smile at the same time?

Off to explore in the woods.

If you ignore the snot and drool, it's a really cute photo.

Brianna looking sweet and adorable. This was one of the few "slide" photos I could post, thanks to some delightful graffiti.

Jake looking like he's tumbling down.

Jacob after Greg told him he'd have to wait for his turn.

"William, smile."

The result:

"Can you do it like this?" (I did an overexaggerated smile.)

Attempt #2:

CAUTION: There are some extreme close-ups coming up!

It's okay... things are back to normal now.

Benjamin's trip down the slide.

He wasn't very sure about it.

We had a good, but exhausting, day. Whenever I took photos of William and Brianna, they wanted to see them. They'd both say, "Awwww" the way you do when you see a baby. After one shot of William, he asked to see the camera. I showed him, and he said, "Awww.... William." It made me laugh.

The kids were pretty good, but the house was a disaster and we are pretty worn out!

Two is a good number.
