My Life In The Land of Boys

The last several months I have been snapping pictures of those unique moments you have when you live with two little boys. I love them and I love these funny little things that bring laughter and levity to days full of dishes, yogurt, laundry and cleaning floors.

Are you ready for a picture overload?

Coen is loves to get every toy out and arrange complex worlds/battles. I am not allowed to walk down the hall until the 2000 toys are moved to a different location.

Beckett is very expressive- in everything he does.

Sometimes you find random things sitting on the couch.

Beckett likes to read during lunch like his mother.

Coen can make even yard work fun.

This little guy is so creative. I took these pictures while he told me a twenty minute story about the indians, dinosaurs, and army men meeting. I can't wait to see the movies he creates.

We dress up a lot. Several times a day. It is a pretty good bet if anyone is wearing gloves he is batman- just in case you were wondering. But we also do pirates, dinosaurs, cowboys and many other super heros. My favorite is Beckett's Super Baby Big Boy.

Coen likes to dress himself. One sunday he wore a plaid shirt with a polka dot tie. Brilliant.

There are booby traps all over the house- just warning you in case you come for a visit.

We even wear cowboy hats while we brush our teeth. Tonight Beckett said "Mom I have cavities in my mouth- I need my tooth brush." Three seconds later he said "Okay they have run away now."

I just think this kid is darling.

We have a parking garage in our back yard.

Coen may soon catch up to my artistic skills.

More elaborate toy dioramas.

Jumping on the bed with stick ponies.

The boys all time favorite game is to take all the bedding in the house and arrange it in one room. I think these may be the only pictures of the firetruck quilt I made for Beckett when he was a baby. I think it is just darling.
