Crazy Boys

I haven't posted in awhile, mostly cuz life is just everyday normal right now. nothing good or bad going on, just existing and floating right now.

However, my boys decided they needed to be crazy one night. Travis was channeling Jason and Thomas was...well...just crazy.

Hope these bring a laugh to your day as they did to ours!

Travis as a future serial killer I think.
Either that, or this was supposed to be a SWAT mask -
he really DOES want to be a cop!

We honestly had NO idea was Tom was doing!
Travis came out in his mask and we laughed
so Tom had to "one up" I think.
Yes, that's his shirt on his legs and his pants on his head.
Crazy, no??

Red Ball

Red Ball was last Friday night and it was MUCH better the second time around. Better flow, better service (worse food), great entertainment and really cool live auction process - those guys were into it!

Red Ball is a black tie gala to benefit the American Red Cross Greater Kansas City Chapter. If you're in the Kansas City area, you should attend this next February!

Wow.

My babies are going to be 7 years old on Saturday. How did that happen?

It really doesn't feel like that long ago that I was carrying two baby carriers into church (occasionally pushing the double stroller in, cuz I just couldn't handle both at one time alone) and watching them curl around each other in one crib. Now, we're breaking up fights over Bakugan and telling them they can't watch Sponge Bob anymore.

We've gone from painting their big toes to tell them apart to them automatically correcting us when we get the names wrong. (yes, I can't tell my own kids apart sometimes - they're a little too identical at times!)

They've gone from learning to walk to being told to quit running through the house.

They've gone from not being able to talk to singing their own made-up songs, yelling in celebration at sporting events and reading above current grade level.

I used to worry about making sure they were treated as "individuals" by teachers and even strangers and now I just wish they'd learn to share and not worry about what's "theirs".

They're such wonderful little boys and yet some days I wish I had my babies back. Wish that I could go back and fix some of the things I know I did wrong. Wish I could pick them both up at the same time and rock them to sleep. Heck, sometimes I'd just like to go back a couple years where I could pick ONE of them up!

I'm not really sure how we've gotten 7 years in the future already. It's just amazing to me. So, let's not mention how it is that I'll be 35 in a few weeks. I really don't want to know where all THOSE years have gone...
