This is how we found Ethan night 2 in his 'big boy bed'. Guess he discovered a new way to turn and stretch that he was never able to do before. :)
How can kids sleep while standing? :)

Big Boy Beds
10-11-08
So when we had kids, I always said I would keep them in their cribs until they were 5 or as long as I could. We almost made it to then. :)
Connor & Ethan were 3 1/2 when we finally took the railings off their cribs. They weren't really serving a purpose anymore because they would just climb up and over the railing and get out of bed. I would find them during 'nap time' climbing and standing on the side rail. One day they're in their room for nap and I hear on the monitor, 'Reach for my hand! Reach for my hand!' I go in there and find them both on their bellies on the front rails stretching across trying to reach each other. So we figured it was time.
Naps are almost non-existent now, bedtime is a longer process with many 'Get back in your room and in bed' threats and more often than not we end up with one, if not both of them in our bed by morning, but overall they have been pretty good with the transition.
Look where we found Connor! :)

New Haircut!
10-9-08
No- not the boys. It's just me, but thought I'd share pics of my new haircut. Of course, not so new anymore since this was back in Oct and it's now Feb, but oh well. :) I've had it cut several times since then- each time a little different, but the same concept. I LOVE it! :)

First Sleepover
10-4 and 10-5 2008
Aunt Wendy and Uncle Nick were going to the Food & Wine Festival at Epcot and to a football party the next day, so Hayley & Quinn came to stay with us! It was Connor & Ethan's very first sleepover! They had so much fun- now they're constantly asking about having sleepovers! :)
We went to a community fair that was going on nearby. They each got to make their very own trophy, bounce in a bounce house, get goodies and get a balloon animal made especially for them!

We laid out comforters and blankets in Connor & Ethan's room and that's where they all slept!
Aren't they all so cute... especially when they're asleep! :)
Ethan is a clown. He thought he was so funny putting daddy's shirt on with his hat and Quinn's hairbow as a tie! :)

Disney on Ice
So once again, I am WAY behind with posting on my blog. I guess I'll never get caught up if I don't just start doing it, so I am going to make an attempt. :) Sorry that these are now SO old!
10-2-08
So this is how the day started:
they look so happy, don't they? :)
That evening we went to Disney on Ice with a group of friends. Drew was able to get pretty good tickets at a reasonable price through work. We were pretty close to the stage, just wish we were closer to the middle. Overall, everyone had a great time!

Halloween Flashback/Preview
With Halloween right around the corner, I thought it would be neat to take a look back at C&E's costumes the past 3 years. It's sometimes hard with 2 boys coming up with 2 boy things that go together, but we've managed to come up with something every year so far!
2006- elephant and monkey- 19 months old
2005- Batman and Robin- 7 months old
2006- elephant and monkey- 19 months old(Thanks to my good friend, Jenni for letting us borrow the costumes from a friend of hers!)
2007- Cowboy and Indian- 2 1/2 years old
and a sneak peek of this year:
Buzz and Woody!

Busch Gardens with Friends
The weather was so nice out this past weekend- a nice *small* break from the heat we've had. We decided to take the boys to BG. While talking to Sherilyn on Saturday, she mentions they might go to BG, so we decided to go together since we were going anyway! We all had a great time and it was nice for the kids to have friends to hang out with. It was a nice test for our longer Disney trip we're taking together in a couple weeks! :)
We had to stick around and let the kids ride the train a second time so they could get a turn to sit in the front. We were in the front of the line the first time, but a boy- probably about 6 years old- pushed the kids out of the way, hitting Connor in the eye, to get to the front of the line. All this while his parents sat on a bench behind us oblivious to what was going on and not saying a word. I could have beat the kid, but instead told him (loud enough for his parents to hear- which I'm sure they did, but still said nothing to him) how rude and mean it was to push kids smaller than he is who were in line first, blah, blah, blah. He then proceeded to push them back and run to the front so he could sit there. Drew went over while the ride was going and told the parents what happened (in a nice way) and just said that he's sure we'll be seeing each other in the park throughout the day and that it wouldn't happen again. :) I hate kids and even more so, parents like that! Kids will be kids, but parents need to be paying attention to their kids and watching what they're doing.
Here are Connor & Ethan in the engine putting their hands out to hit Drew's hand as they went by.
We were finally able to ride the Rhino Rally. The kids haven't been tall enough to get on and this time JUST made it. This rhino was right in the middle of the road and wouldn't move. The driver bumped his bum with the jeep. He quick jumped around and was not happy- we thought he was going to ram the jeep!
Sherilyn and I decided to ride the Sheikra since the hubbies were with us and could stay with the kids. It's been a LONG time since I've been on a roller coaster, but used to love them! This ride was scary! That was the biggest drop I've ever been on on a roller coaster- and it seemed like you were falling forever! If you could see our faces up close, you would see Sherilyn sitting there all smiling and me screaming my head off thinking I'm going to die! :)
And a typical end to our day. Drew doesn't like bringing the stroller, but the boys get tired and by the end of the day are fussing, whining, complaining that their legs hurt and begging to be picked up. So, guess who gets to carry them. :)
