So I have come to a fork in the road, potty training. For the better part of the past 12 months Sean and I have worked at potty training with Owen. Stumbling along the way, trying this and then that, changing expressions, tone and words and googling, googling, googling for advice, tips, anything. By the […]

Our Aunty Rocks!
The boys have these too cute t shirts and before anyone assumes anything I will admit it was me that bought them and not one of the boy’s Aunty’s. Owen and Brandon’s favorite thing about the shirts is the guitars. Now the sippy cups….well those have been sitting in the cupboard for quite some time […]
Kitchen Days
Some days are kitchen days, Owen and Brandon thoroughly love their kitchen and play with it often; my favorite is when they pull it out from the wall and use the little window to ask each other for food and how they are doing. When the kitchen gets used, there are some supplies that are needed: […]
Elephants, Light Sticks and Tigers
The circus came to town in March. Owen is almost 4 yrs old and Brandon is 2 1/2 yrs old; we felt they were old enough to enjoy it, last the afternoon and remember the events. About a week before the circus date we started to ask Owen and Brandon if they would like to […]
Owen growing up
Fisher Price has a brand of toy out for ages 3-6 (I think), called Imaginext. It is really cool stuff and has all the themes that a boy would like — fire house, spaceship, pirate ship, Batman’s bat cave. For Christmas Owen got the spaceship and Brandon got the fire house. They love playing with […]
More crafts
One weekend, Daddy did paper bag monsters and masks with Owen and Brandon. That was a real hit, they were so excited to show anyone who walked in the door and they played together with them for days aftewards. And I’ll tell you a secret, Daddy is going to build a craft table for Owen […]
Craft time
Owen and Brandon love crafts, love coloring and being creative. I will admit we don’t do it enough these days with them, the craft stuff is put away out of sight and we often forget about it until it’s too late in the night or right before nap time. At daycare they had a craft […]
Mr Potato Head
Mr Potato Head is a toy that Owen and Brandon rarely play with but play with enough that when I have the thought to put the toy away in storage, Owen and Brandon pull it out and play. When they do play with Mr Potato Head they really do enjoy it. They laugh and squeal […]
Brandon and Kosmo
Brandon is still very interested in Kosmo these days. He loves to sit beside Kosmo and pet him, watch him eat (squatting with his hands on his lap) and throw his toys for him. Of course he gets very upset when Kosmo gets him with his tail, knocks him over when he runs by or […]
Bedtime
Daddy is still the favorite at bed time, although Owen and Brandon are a little more willing to let Mommy read and tuck them in. After All, Daddy can pick them both up, in each arm, and carry them up the stairs to Mommy and Daddy’s bed for story time. And Daddy does it as […]
