Boys

My boys make me LAUGH a lot. Matthew is such a unique and fun child. He's always been in Ady's shadow a bit and most people don't realize he's around...including me. But the last little while he's been my buddy, He's been super helpful with Warren and Bennett. A few weeks ago Bennett and Ady had a sleepover at my mom's and Tanner had a sleepover at his friends house. SO it left Matt. He was seriously bummed to be left out but I explained to him that it was HIS time with Mom and Dad. He got to choose snacks, dinner and even whip out the new wii game before everyone. He talked non stop (and hasn't stopped since.) He got to play monopoly jr with Mom and WON. He was loving it. I also forget how grown up he's getting. He's going to kindergarten in the fall and we went to orientation. It's funny to me, when we took Ady and Tanner they were jumping off the walls wanting to go to kindergarten. Matt was too until we got in the car. He confessed he was scared and then the tears started. I was so taken back and didn't expect it at first. I went with him to the "kids area" and told him I'd wait in the back. He finally started to have fun so I stepped out to turn in paperwork. When I got back he was all smiles and told me all about it. I really hope the first day of school doesn't have tears.
So yesterday this character came downstairs and I couldn't hold back the laughter. I said, "Matt what are you wearing." Matt, "My pants, you told me to go get dressed." At first I thought he'd put Ady's capris on but no, they are Bennett's 2t pants. HAHAHA that skinny little man. He didn't even mind posing for some pictures...I still don't think he knows what was so funny. He wore these all day. Crazy guy! On a side note.....we go through tons of bread at our house....Matt could eat a dozen pb&j's a day if I let him. So the other day he decided to make himself toast for lunch, I was on the computer and he brought me this piece of bread and said, "Mom, why is the bread green?" He'd never seen moldy bread and I'm still not sure how it happened. We never have bread long enough to mold. The only thing I could think of that it wasn't rotated well and a new one kept getting put on top of it. hahaha the best part was it was warm because he'd all ready toasted it....why oh why didn't he question green bread from the begining?!?!


This guy refuses to take naps, has for a LONG time now. It's super annoying and he gets super cranky. He then will fall asleep at weird times usually after 5 or 6 and then sleeps for a little while and is up ALL night. grrrr, so after the kids went to bed he begged for a popsicle and this is how I found him....PUNK!!! Luckily he slept through Davis putting him to bed...not sure if he came in last night....I was super tired.

So Bennett is obsessed with shoes. He is very particular about which ones he wears. My mom bought him some a while back and the whole first day he refused to take them off.....even for bed. Davis laughed and said, you know he's going to want to wear them to church tomorrow....he did and we didn't fight about it. He wore them for a few weeks before I hid them and all he had to choose from on Sunday were his church shoes. I have learned to hide shoes so that he will wear the ones I want/need him to wear. He doesn't usually like his church shoes, but the last few days that's all he will wear....ugh. Guess they need to "go away" until Sunday. He also loves to be "pretty" he is constantly bringing me Ady's hair bows and such to put in his hair....the other day he came down wearing Ady's "fluffy skirt". It makes me laugh because he is such a BOY, I keep saying this is his sensitive side and he will learn to pick out cute clothes for his wife.
