Because You're Mine
A few days ago while the boys and I were getting ready for work, I looked up at them sitting at the breakfast table and said, "OH, do I LOVE you boys!" Entertainingly, Dane responded with something that sounded like, "Why??" So I rolled with it... I told them, "I love you so much because you're MINE." Their eyes widened and they sat there for a few seconds soaking in what I had said. Not knowing if any of it had "taken", I continued on with preparations for the day. Shortly I heard Jacob say from the far end of the table, "Mom, I love you, too," and I thought that would be the end of it. But he continued, "because you're MINE." What a sweet boy!

Cute Buns
"Hey Momma - Wanna see my cute buns???" It's a phrase I hear almost daily these days. It never fails to make me smile. It comes from Momma telling him how cute his buns are a few too many times. :)
Today Jacob was playing with his measuring tape toy when he had a bright idea. "Momma! I'm gonna measure my cute buns!" I laughed at the idea while he turned around and attempted to measure his buns. He struggled, and I decided to help. Holding the measuring tape on one hip and stretching the tape across him to the other side, I said, "Seven and a half inches of cute buns!" "Let me see!" We examined the measuring tape, counting out the seven and a half inches. "Now let me measure your cute buns, Momma!" I decided there was no harm in that, so I turned around and handed him the tape. He followed the method I had used to measure him, and when I asked what the measuring tape said, he exclaimed, "It went all the way to zero, Momma!" I laughed wholeheartedly at the idea of the tape going full circle (like a scale), and replied, "Well, you're probably right." So cute, buns and all.

BEST.FACE.EVER!
I finally did it! I *finally* caught this hilarious face that Dane is "famous" for.
Take a look at this - SO FUNNY!
Hope this brightens your day!

Halloween 2010
Well, this year I had almost as much fun as I did back when *I* was a trick-or-treater!
We had planned and purchased costumes in plenty of time for Halloween, especially knowing that Daycare was having their party on Thursday this year. Jacob dressed like a fireman, and Dane, therefore, had no choice other than to be an ADORABLE Dalmation puppy, of course!
We have a pedal fire truck that Cousin Casey passed down from Grandpa Dan, and I decided that this MUST be part of the costumes. The problem was, only one boy was going to fit into the fire truck. So Daddy rigged a wagon to tote the doggie behind. Smart thinkin', Daddy!
The day before Halloween, Jacob and Mommy had a Trick-or-Treat Rehearsal. Mommy went into the office and closed the door. Jacob practiced going up to the door, knocking, waiting until the door was opened, and then saying, "Trick or treat!" Then, of course, Mommy gave him candy. We practiced this a handful of times, and each time, when I opened the door, Jacob giggled in laughter as he shouted his line. It was hilarious!
Unfortunately, it was pretty cold on Halloween. I dressed the boys in layers, which helped, but their poor little hands were so cold. Dane's costume fit very well - until I put him in three layers of clothes! Then I could barely get it closed. His jacket stuck out of the back of the costume. No problem, though - he was still the cutest little puppy in the neighborhood! The cold weather also made the boys very tired very early! After trick-or-treating we ordered a pizza and got warmed up. It was a great night!
Please also enjoy the pics of our pumpkins. When we went to the pumpkin farm this year, we picked out a Jakey-sized pumpkin and a Dane-sized pumpkin, which was no larger than an apple. It was SO cute when it was carved. Both Jacob and Dane took much joy in those pumpkins. We would point to the bigger pumpkin and say, "Jacob's pumpkin." Then we would point to the little one and say, "Dane's pumpkin." Dane's face would light up and get a big grin. I think he really understood that the little one was his.
We just had so much fun! I love fall!

[overheard]
Typical Conversations with a One-Year Old and a Three-Year Old:
Dane: Uh-ohhhh!
Jacob: What did he say, Mommy?
Mommy: He said, "Uh-oh."
Jacob: WHHHyyyyyyyy???
During Breakfast on Saturday:
(Gary had on a shirt that I really like to see him in.)
Me: (Thinking no one else was really listening...) Gary, you look hot in that shirt.
Jacob: Yeah, Dad, you look hot!
(ERUPTION of laughter from Mommy and Daddy!)
Gary: (Covering) Yeah, I'm feeling pretty warm at the moment!
(I had gone to Dunkin and picked up a couple of donuts, which we were all eating.
Jacob LOVES sprinkles on his donuts.)
Jacob: Mom, can I have another donut?
Me: No, there aren't any more donuts with sprinkles.
Jacob: Oh. Well, THAT's frustrating!
Oh, they say the darndest things! We just kept laughing!
Dane: Uh-ohhhh!
Jacob: What did he say, Mommy?
Mommy: He said, "Uh-oh."
Jacob: WHHHyyyyyyyy???

Unbelievably Blessed
For all of you who are not avid Facebook-ers, I thought I'd post this picture to the blog, as well. Not much of a story behind it, other than the obvious post-dinner, pre-washing photo... :) But I can't get enough of these smiles! We feel incredibly, unbelievably blessed to have these boys as our own. Enjoy!
