Sesame Street Live

Tuesday evening we took the Peas to see Sesame Street Live. We all had a blast! Ryan and Evan loved seeing Elmo and the gang. At one momemt I was so into the show that I was singing and dancing too. Ryan looked over and told me, "No, Mommy!" I guess I'm embarrassing him already. HA! Get used to it, Son; get used to it! As soon as we got inside the theatre the Peas spotted the Elmo light-up toys, so we bought them one. When the guy came out during intermission with the Elmo balloons Daddy P and I looked at each other and said a firm NO! You see how long that lasted; Ryan and Evan were holding an Elmo balloon not even five minutes later! We are such suckers for these two!

The Many Faces of Ryan

And I love every single one!

The Many Faces of Evan

And I love every single one!

World War III...

happens at least five times a day at our house. Really, it's a never ending battle. Case in point:






What started out as a simple game of drawing on the chalkboard quickly erupted into a shoving match and shouts of, "No, it's mine!" and "Move Evan!" and "Moooooommmmmyyyyy!"

Long and frustrated le sigh!

I mentioned in an earlier post that I consider myself a referee, and that I am. But, I am also an object of contention between these two. They fight over me constantly. It was a bit flattering at first, I must admit. (Hey, I'm keeping it real!) But now? Lord Jesus be a fence; it's driving me nutso! I am constantly being pushed and pulled by one boy screaming, "No, she's MY mommy!" and then in the other direction I go by the other boy declaring, "Noooo, MY mommy!"
Here's poor little me in the middle trying to explain that yes, I am Ryan's mommy, but I'm Evan's mommy too and I must be shared. There's plenty of me to go around, so don't fret.
This does not go over well.

Even longer and more frustrated le sigh!

But then, I talk to the teacher at day care and find out that these two are thick as thieves. They take care of each other, and if one cries for whatever reason his brother is right there to ask, "What's wrong? Are you okay?" And then I smile and know that all really is well.

Through the Years

We enjoyed a wonderful Resurrection Sunday once again this year. The weather was sunny and bright and there was lots to do. The Peas participated in their first ever Easter Egg hunt on Saturday, and they followed that up with a birthday party for one of their friends. Sunday was church, of course, and what a blessing it is to worship in a church where the focus is kept on JESUS. After another busy day today I took a second to reflect upon the last three years and realized that the time has literally flown by. Our babies aren't babies any more; it's just that simple. A picture really does speak a thousand words~ look at Ryan and Evan on Easter Sunday through the years. Wow...just wow.
