Andrew's monkey dance

I don't know if I have ever mentioned that Andrew has this little coy look that he gives, when he knows that attention is on him.  It's  hard to describe, but he sort of trys to put the corners of his mouth down, so that he doesn't smile.  He also trys to cover his top teeth by pulling his upper lip down.  Hopefully, we'll be able to get a good video of it sometime, or at least a picture.

Anyway, Andrew does this face all the time.  We all think it reminds us of my dad.  Lately, he has been doing the "monkey dance," and when we ask him to do it--he makes this face.  Then, he does the dance!  It is the funniest thing!  He is too cute!

Andrew going to the doctor...

Last week was quite a week.  We had a few visits to the doctor and one visit to the E.R. The good news is that Andrew seems to be recovered from his sinus infection and Sam has recovered from his ear infection.  Sam has also been a trooper with his new cast.  He doesn't even act like he has a broken wrist.  He surely is a sweetheart!  Hope they can all stay well for a while!  

Pet Shop

We took the boys to the mall on Friday.  They had a good time at the pet shop, and Will had the cutest giggle while he looked at the mice going around their wheel.

The boys love to get up early from their nap and play with the ipad.  Here are a couple pictures of Sam and Will playing on the ipad.  :)

Poor Sam :(

Things we don't want to forget...

Andrew got up early during his nap time, so I let him play with the ipad for a little while. He was having such a good time, that when I told him that I needed to get Will--he said, "no, you iie down." He was pushing back onto my pillow. He does silly little things like that all the time, that make us realize that he is copying the things that we do. Some funny words that they say are "mir" which is short for "come here." They also say "mick" for "milk." Today, Andrew said "brother," and pointed to his brothers. They are all getting good at saying "no." Will has always loved to say "home" and he says it like "hoooooome," when we are almost close to the house. Those are the only things that we can think of for now. I don't know if I mentioned that they can open all doors now! YIKES!

I love my Mama!

I was so happy to be able to have my mom in town for a few days.  It is never long enough!  She is always so helpful to me--helping me with the boys, the housework, etc.  It's always so wonderful to spend time with her!! One of these days, I hope she will live right next door!!!
While she was here, we took the boys to the mall to play at the playland.  Afterwards, we took them to eat lunch at the food court.  They were pretty happy to be eating their chicken nuggets and french fries.  They look so happy and so cute!

It was pretty cold and rainy over the last few days, so we didn't do a lot outdoors.  

Mama was very sweet to give John and I a date night.  She watched the boys, while we went out to eat at Red Fish Grill.  We couldn't believe that our server told us that the couple next to us paid for our meal!!  That was an unbelievable surprise!  Their names were Jennifer and Greg.  We'll never forget that!  After dinner, we went to the movie.  We saw The Women in Black.  Many thanks to my mom and John's dad for helping watch the boys!  Can't wait to see you again soon, Mama!

Andrew

This isn't a very good picture of Andrew, since I took it with my cell phone.  In fact, it doesn't even look like him.  However, we thought it was too cute that he was up on the island checking out the cupcakes.  What a sweetheart!

A couple of cute pics...

Thank goodness for this triple stroller and thank goodness we live near a Walgreens and a Party City.  If we didn't have something within walking distance, we might get a little bored walking around the block all the time.  So, we usually venture out to Walgreens to get something that we need--or don't need.  Today, we went to Party City to buy some balloons, but the nice lady wanted to give the balloons to the boys.  They wre pretty happy about the balloons, even though Will doesn't look like he is happy.  He is only unhappy, because I stopped to take a picture.  He prefers that we are in motion at all times.  I like that he is wearing some of my shoes in this picture.  :)  We got a couple of honks from random people in their cars.  I guess I'd want to honk, too, if I saw these little cuties strolling down the street.  :)

This was a picture of Andrew with his new bangs--compliments of Dada.  When he comes down the stairs in the morning, he likes to take his time on the stairs.  So cute!  I can always see little glimpses of Granddad Keith, when I look at Mr. Andoobers.  He loves his little green froggy!
