Happy Birthday, Jesus!

Zane woke up this morning and was surprised to see our home decorated for Christmas. He came to my bedroom and told Cory and me about it. He then said that only one thing was missing -- the lights. I told him he could carefully plug them in. When he came back to our room he asked, "Do you know what I did when I turned on the lights?" I asked, "What?" and he said that he looked up at the sky and said, "Happy Birthday Jesus, even though it isn't your birthday yet."

Dreaming

I just went in to tell the boys to be quiet and go to sleep. Luke said to me, "I'm having a dream I shouldn't watch." Evidently it was about bad guys.

I did that!

Tonight Zane was trying to teach Cade how to catch a ball. Luke was also trying to help. Zane saw how well Luke could throw and catch the ball and said, "Luke, you can catch really good. I taught you that. I mean it! I taught you so good that now you're better than me. I did that!" Zane was very excited about HIS accomplishment. :o)

Cader

Cade is pretty much potty-trained now. He has had control of his bowels since June, but we've been anxiously waiting for him to do better about using the toilet consistently for potty too. Now, he uses the toilet for potty unless his is in a Pull-up for naptime or bedtime. However, the funny part of all of this, he will asks me, "Mom, what me wearing?" Translation: Am I wearing a Pull-up or underpants? If he is wearing a Pull-up, he is more than happy to go potty in it. Kinda funny...at least we're getting closer. After nearly 7 years, we're almost done with the whole disposable undergarment thing!

SNOW DAY

We had about 3.5" of snow yesterday and the boys were very excited. It was pretty cold outside and so they didn't stay out very long, but I was able to get a few cute pictures.

How they sleep...sandwiched, posed and wrapped!
