Hide & Seek, Bubble, and Bathtime

My boys can seem so innocent and cute most of the time, but I'm their mom and I know better! :) Lately we have to put EVERYTHING away in the closet before bedtime, especially the lotion, wipes and diapers that I usually keep well stocked in the changing table cupboard and dresser. Not so much anymore. I wish I would have gotten a picture of the first incident, but I was too upset. I wanted to go to bed and was exhausted and I had already been in there about 4-5 times to tell them to stay in bed and go to sleep. I could hear the boys in the room laughing and playing, so of course I went to check on them again and they were both covered head to toe in lotion, not to mention the globs of it all over the carpet and bed, and the floor littered with about 3 full packages of wipes. I was not very happy at all! Needless to say though, it took twice for that to happen before I figured out to just shove everything in the closet, which they have yet to be able to open, before bedtime or any naptime. So, for that really long story and explanation, the cupboard door of the changing table is always empty, except for when Logan and Damon are playing hide and seek, it's their favorite place to play now.



We can't even show the boys the camera without hearing a chorus of "cheese" so all their smiles are pretty goofy and I love it.
While we were playing hide and seek and getting ready for bed, they found the bubbles, I think Damon's top three loves in the world are: food, bubbles, and hugs & kisses. So, he got pretty excited.

Of course, another cheeser.

And Logan posing in the cupboard again.

I love giving my little man smooches.

And I love how he tries to give them back. We're still working on the whole, keep your mouth closed when you kiss thing. :) I don't mind the slobber too much though.

He was totally zoned into the bubbles for at least 20 minutes, which is like year to Damon.

Climbing out of the cupboard.

Logan's super cheesy, super goofy grin.

I love that my boys love to read. They'll spend quite a while going through all the books we keep in the storytime box. Logan likes to get the books and read them to Damon. He tries to teach him things. "Damon, this is the number 2" It's really cute.

but of course as soon as I pull out the camera to capture these precious moments, they get up and go for the camera.

And of course, it's been a while since we've done some bathtime pictures. I love bath time and so do the boys. They love to play. Logan especially loves to "swim" like he is there. And Damon loves to try and drink the water and throw the toys out.

Someday I'll get a normal eye open smile from Logan. :)

I think I was holding up a choo choo train toy, hence the huge smile on his face.

Good ol Logan.

Damon loves the "mirror" in the tub. It's kind of hard to see in the picture, but he's pointing to daddy in the "mirror" (but all you can see is his reflection)

And of course, giving himself kisses. Logan did the same thing when he saw himself in the mirror...am I raising narcissists?

I just thought this was a cool picture because you can see the water droplets from the splash.

I made some cookies the other day for a Relief Society Activity. ( I LOVE our new ward). When Logan put on the mitts he kept saying, "I can cook now"

Damon thought it was pretty great too.

And finally, the red socks, this one is to you Grandma. When my parents stayed here over New Years, my mom left a pair of red socks and I found them the other day when I was picking up the basement and Logan was complaining of cold feet and wanted shoes. I didn't want to go upstairs and get some, so I just said, here, wear Grandma's socks. That kid would NOT take off those socks for anything. It was killing him just to have to take them off to take a bath and he refused to calm down until we put them on again over his jammies. I did finally get them off the next day, but not without some struggle. He sure loves his Grandma.

Oh yeah, it seems a little anti-climactic this time around, but baby #3 is on the way!!! I guess w moved just in time. I'm not very far along, only about 12 weeks-ish and I'm due the end of July. So far everything has been pretty good and I haven't been too sick, just really tired (can't imagine why when I spend my days with Logan and Damon). I'm sure I'll have more moments to add, but I better finish up this post before the episode of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse is over (Logan latest obsession). Until next time....
