A Whole Lot to Say These Days....

Oh, the conversations they have! I walked into the room today to Seth and Sam having this conversation:
Seth: "I older now."
Sam: "I older now too!"
Seth: "I go football camp now."
Sam: "I go basketball now."
Seth: "I older. I drive car."
Sam: "I older. I drive the truck."
Boy, they grow up fast, huh :)

How about this one: as we were driving back from watching Ben play a basketball game (which, sigh, I did not bring my camera for. No, not to take pictures of Ben, but of Seth and Sam as they strolled into the gym wearing their basketball jersey's and carrying their little basketballs. They looked so adorable!)
Sam: "I play basketball. I all fwetty (sweaty) now. I workin hard."
A little later after a lot of talk from both boys about being fwetty and workin' hard:
Seth: "I stinky pits now. I need to take a shower!"

I could probably write a whole book alone on comments while potty training twin boys, but many are a bit too much info for a blog. However, I will share this little antic (picture that the boys are usually sitting on their little toilets right next to each other, trying at the same time):
Sammy to Seth: "Seth, you no look at my weener. Privacy."
(This is coming from the boy that earlier had examined his brothers bottom to see if there was any poop there. And the same boy that exclaimed, "Peek-a-boo weener" to Seth as Seth sat down on the toilet. Sorry buddy, privacy is not going to come easily between you two!)

I am having so much fun with the boys at this age and am really trying to savor their love and innocence! Sometimes I almost feel guilty because having twins at this age is so wonderful being that they have a constant playmate (then I remember what I went through raising them as babies, and I think: I've earned this!). I'm able to be so independent each day, because they are always up to something together: pretending, running, jumping, playing cars, talking, arguing, reading and so so much laughter. I wish I could bottle up the sound of them laughing together to replay in my mind forever.

Thank you God for trusting me with twin boys!

The following pictures are from a HOT but blissful Sunday afternoon of boys in their undies practicing football by running through a water obstacle course (the pool and the sprinkler) and hiking the ball to their daddy so he could throw it and they could retrieve it.
