And now they are 4

What a busy month February was. We celebrated the boy’s birthday numerous times. A party at school, a party with friends, a party at home and then a party at church, these little men are very loved and spoiled. This year they decided that they wanted to go bowling with their friends. What a day that was, they loved it. It was complete with How to Train your Dragon party gear (that mind you I had to search high and low for).




Joshua and Jared got big boy bikes. Now all we need is some nice weather so that we can go outside and ride them. They also got hamsters. Our pets now outnumber the humans in the house. We have Bella, Thunder, 2 frogs and now Jesse and Lightning McQueen.




We are constantly changing things up in the playroom. We had to buy more cubbies in order to store all their new toys. It is the first room you see when you enter our house so I am always cleaning and picking up toys.

Jared and Joshua are doing so well in school. They can now write their own names (when they want to). They are also allowing their teachers to separate them for certain parts of their day.

Now that they are 4 we have decided that their room needs a makeover. We are going to paint and then convert their beds into big beds. We have them ordered and now we are just waiting for them to come in. We try to prep the boys about changes as much as we can without going overboard. I told the boys that we were going to paint their room and that they were getting new beds. I pointed to where their beds would be and Jared told me “NO.” I asked him why not and he told me that his bed needs to be next to Joshua’s. Since they were born their beds have always been on the same wall and next to each other. They can touch if they want to. In order for everything to fit we have to put them on opposite walls, with 25 inches in between, we will see how that goes. They have both asked if they can sleep in one bed, they have never been ones to climb into bed with each other so this could be the first.
