Way, way too long!

It's been way, way too long since my last post! I got on a roll a week or so ago and learned how to schedule posts so that I could write a few posts at a time and have them automatically post on different days. Hopefully I can get back to that. I haven't even taken a lot of pictures of my precious Peas lately! ::hanging my head in shame:

We've been hanging out in the basement more lately and boy do these two love it! They can run and play and just have a grand 'ole time. Tonight the Peas joined me downstairs in my craft room (Lord, it's such a mess!) and they were playing so nicely that I just had to snap a picture of them. They were so sweet to let me have a few minutes to work on a project. We won't mention that Evan swiped a set of my stamps and threw them on the floor or that Ryan used a jar of my brads as a hammer on the wall!

So what's been up in the land of the Peas? Temper tantrums have entered our home and I am NOT a fan! Yep, these two beautiful brown boys can throw an all-out hissy fit! My babies are no longer babies; they are full-fledged toddlers now. We see them grow up each and every day. Their newest thing is climbing on the sofa. They get up there anytime that they want. That's not a good thing, because they try to run around up there, hang over the side, and sit close to the edge...backwards! Yikes! Ryan has been doing this for awhile, and Friday both Daddy P and I looked on in shock as Evan did it too! There's really nothing we can do to stop them either. **sigh** Once they figure out how to do something that's pretty much it! These two are certainly all boy. They have no fear and will try almost anything.

In other news...they both got approved for Synagis shots again this year! I'm glad about that. We have officially kicked the bottles habit! It wasn't easy convincing them to give up their night time bottle. We've had sippy cups thrown at us, we've been hit, kicked, and screamed at, and I swear I saw Evan roll his eyes at me once! I offered Ryan the sippy cup one night and he walked from across the room to shove the cup at me! Evan broke one of his cups one day--make that two of them! The second cup he broke happened by accident, I think. I had to quickly replace it since he loves this cup now!

We've started shopping for them for Christmas. I've bought their one big shared gift, a Fisher Price Learning Home. It was the last one left and I'm glad I bought it early because I cannot be on the news for fighting with someone in order to get the last hot Christmas toy on the shelf! I still have to order their personalized chairs from Land of Nod. Hopefully this will help solve our climbing on the sofa problem. We have some Thanksgiving-themed craft projects lined up. I found a new blog (new to me, at least) called I Can Teach my Child. There are lots of neat things there that you can do with your kids. I'm not sure of the URL, but I'm sure Mr. Google can find it for you if you're interested. That's about all with us! Have a great week:)
