Fun!

Our boys decided that they wanted to look like their dad. So when he was home yesterday, he shaved their heads. I always think they are adorable, but it is seriously hard to tell them a part when their hair is cut like this! They have been dressing alike too and calling themselves twins. Bradley had a little cut on his forehead so Benjamin purposely rubbed his head on the floor and gave himself a rug burn in the same spot! Not his brightest moment. I told Brad he better not be knocking out any teeth to look more like his brother. He assured me he wouldn't!

The boys have been having fun making forts out of card board boxes in the backyard. I especially like all the signs they wrote. :)

Savanna looked gorgeous for her formal dance. I even let her borrow my wedding tiara which apparently was the envy of all the other girls. She said the music wasn't as good as the Halloween dance, and she was getting over a cold, but overall she had a great time.

Benjamin has been on a destructive mission since James left. Emotions are raw around here and his temper has gotten the best of him several times. It seems to be the worst the day or two after James leaves. This past week by Tuesday Ben had broken the toilet seat, the swing set, the large baby gate that sectioned off our living room, several cabinet knobs, and my laundry room shelf! Thank goodness for good home teachers and a handy husband! All was fixed by the weekend. The baby gate, however, could not be fixed so I spent hours spackling, painting and rearranging our living room. Don't tell Ben, but it looks SO much nicer and bigger. I LOVE it!!

I said I would never take the kids here, but a friend invited us to Chuck E. Cheese for a family night. Surprisingly it was actually really fun. A little too loud and hectic, but the pizza has gotten much better and the kids had a blast. The boys said it was the greatest night of their lives! They won 950 tickets which bought them several cheesy, plastic toys and some candy. They make a killing at this place!!

Oh, and the MOST fun, Ben started basketball! This is going to be so entertaining. I just can not wait for his first game! He's only had one practice and one clinic, and the kid is seriously uncoordinated. The funny part is though, he thinks he is FABULOUS! He has a hard time focusing and following direction, plus he kept running around with his hands in his pockets half the practice and so when anyone would throw the ball at him it would just bounce off his chest or face. I kept yelling, "Ben, get our hands out of your pockets!" but he said they were too cold. Their team name is Dr. Chocolate...not sure what that means but whatever. His first game is this Saturday, and it's going to be seriously great!
