Picture Dump

 We had some friends over for the day this past week and I'm pretty sure I wasn't meant to have twins.  We had a lot of fun, but the last hour of babysitting was getting pretty tough.  I had one baby clinging on either leg, with one boy potty training and needing to go and kids in general getting hungry and wanting a snack.  Whew.

 It was fun though and we made it and had lots of fun.  We had a little girl over too that is right in between Damon and Tragon's age.  It was kind of fun to have another girl in the house and she held her own among the boys.

 These two were pals though, they had to take turns in the high chair, but they were really good about sharing.  :)

 Jaron loves to feed himself now.

 Sometimes we have to get out two or three spoons to make it work though.

 He has quite the death grip on those spoons when you try to take them away..there is a video on the last post.

 We started taking pictures and videos of the kid's tantrums.  It's been semi-productive.

 Usually when they see themselves on the video they start to calm down...or get worse...only "semi" productive.  At least it's more fun than getting mad and frustrated at the tantrums.

 Tragon was having a bad one, and of course that puts the other boys on their best behavior.  Logan and Damon were being especially cheery and wanting to take pictures too.

 So, I couldn't help it.

 Logan is turning into even more of a ham.

 If you pull the camera out, he'll actually start posing and telling me which pictures he thinks will look the cutest.

 He is such a silly boy.

 This is the boys watching the tantrum.  I think Tragon did eventually calm down.

Potty training is going okay.  As long as I remind/make him go every hour or two and after meals then we can avoid accidents, but when I leave it to him, there's always a mess.  Just the other day I asked him if he was ready to try and go poo poo and he screamed NO!  So, I said, okay we'll just try again later....and about 5 minutes later he's screaming while standing in the ottoman (we were all in the bedroom playing Mariokart) that he has to poo....yeah, too late.  Ugh, I hate cleaning poo from underwear!

We're going to hang in there though.  Most the time if I can't be on constant watch or we go somewhere, I just slip a pull up or diaper on over the underwear, so he can still feel it when he pees, but it doesn't make the mess down his legs or on his pants.

Jaron is almost walking full time, we're almost done with formula, and for the most part he's a pretty happy kid right now and loves to play with his brothers.

Damon really loves his legos.  I think we play legos every day and he's pretty creative with what limited supply he has.  We still have the bigger Duplo legos, I'm not really for the teeny tiny legos to be all over the place for Jaron to eat.  Damon's also really helpful with the dishwasher and keeping Jaron entertained while I shower or take care of something.

Logan loves school and is doing really well.  He is a super ready and likes to read too, that's a bonus.  He's already getting excited to be in 1st grade next year and get to eat lunch at school and have 2 recesses.  :)  He loves to "be in charge" of Jaron while I'm trying to work on something, or shower, or whatever and as long as the TV isn't on, he does really well at it.

They all love watching Power Rangers right now.  Did you know that there are about a dozen different Power Ranger series....yeah, the favorite right now is Power Rangers Turbo because the Megazord is made up of lots of cars....yes, sad that I know that, but I live in a household of boys and I like to know what they like.

Anyway, life is good right now and we are truly blessed with all we have.  We're doing pretty good on most of our goals, but we still need to do a little bit more tweaking.  :)  Until next time....
