My Big Boys

The other day Collin informed me that my belly is just a little bit fat now. I'm strong, I brushed it off and had another cookie. How could I be angry with this face and an observation filled with such honesty. My two boys have been interesting as of late, maybe it's the lack of attention they've been receiving since Caleb has been born, I'm not sure, but it worries me. I know I'm a divided woman now and it's hard to give everyone the time they need, we're working on it.
But I find it hard not to lose my temper with them at times. For instance, the first day Caleb got his hearing aide in we were in the car picking up Talin, and Collin was in the backseat with Caleb as usual when I hear the buzzing of his hearing aide. Collin had managed to take it out and completely apart. What???
Then a day later Talin casually pulled the hearing aide out of Caleb's ear and tells me, "I don't think he needs to hear right now." And once again, what???
Maybe it's jealousy...we're working on it.

But they are super cute and will always be my source of amusement through this difficult time. I do wish I would have sent the camera with Tom for father and sons campout. They had a great time. I heard they were walking around at night and decided to follow a trail leading into the forest. The boys were freaking out, especially Collin when he all of a sudden turned around and started running downhill with his arms sticking straight up and screaming. Must have been hilarious. Tom says he looked like E.T. with his arms straight up in the air running. Who throws their arms in the air to run from impending danger anyway? Talin sat by while Tom told the story laughing and informing us over and over again that he wasn't scared, he just pretended to be scared. Ha! Wish I could have been there.
