Favorite New Activities

With the cold weather we now have, Tyson and Owen don't get as many opportunities to go outside and play. Since they have been inside so much, they have started to play new games and do some new things with each other to keep themselves entertained. Its been nice that they have kind of done that on their own, and we can just sit back and enjoy it. What they have done so far, is pretty interesting though. Owen really likes to sit in our toy chest. I'm not sure where he got the idea from. I came in the room one day, and he was laying down in the chest, cracking himself up. He looked like he was in an uncomfortable bathtub. Here is a picture. Hes a funny kid. Tyson's new thing to find different ways to attack Owen, usually just playfully. He will sometimes try and tackle him, or if Owen is laying on the ground, Tyson will jump on top of him. Tyson thinks its pretty funny, and Owen does sometimes. Here is one time they were both enjoying it (it probably doesn't look like it, but Owen was laughing.)And when they aren't lounging in toy chests or attacking each other, their new favorite activity is to hug each other. I'm not really sure why they have so much fun hugging, but they will hug each other and laugh and laugh. Its really cute, and its nice to see them enjoy being with each other. Sometimes they have issues being together all the time. Here is one of the few pictures we could get of them hugging.Thats really all that we have been up to lately. Tiffany manages the chaos in the house, and I've been working on getting ready for finals, they are coming up in a few weeks. Its been a little stressful, but its almost over with, thank goodness.

new table

Ok we bought a new table for them to do crafts on and it is so cute here is a picture of them reading on it.

Fall fun

Tyson and Owen are really enjoying the fall season. Its been fun to see them play in the leaves, help us rake (well, they try to help, I think) and run run run. I can't believe how much energy they have. And now they are starting to play well together, which is nice. We can play with them and not just be referees. They are starting to get used to playing with others also. Having their cousin Kade come over about twice a week has been good for them. They also love primary, which has been great for us too. We generally just drop them off, and check to make sure they don't need changed between classes. Sometimes they don't want to leave primary.
Here are some pictures of the boys playing in the leaves. They are just so cute. Hope you enjoy.
