When I was having Ethan, I was worried that the older boys (especially Nate) would not have much of a relationship with him because the of the age differences. I have been amazed and thankful at how well all boys really do get along. Nate and Josh are probably the closest at this point & play the most but they frequently include Zach. On almost any day, you will see each different "pair" interacting in some way.
On this morning, Nate was teaching Zach to swing from the rope like Indiana Jones. Josh paired up with Ethan & they played all kinds of things (on the play structure, with a ball & for awhile Josh pushed Ethan around in a wheel barrow). I thought it was neat moment to catch & write about. I hope that the boys always stay close!
On a side note: Yes Zach is still in his underwear and Ethan is wearing his pajamas. As I mentioned, it was still morning & obviously a lazy morning at our house. :)

Excitement over toothpaste???

We ran errands today & I got a real laugh from our trip to Target. The boys needed new toothpaste. They usually take turns picking out a flavor. I couldn't remember which boy picked last so I told them that they could all pick out their own tube of toothpaste. Nate turns to me and says "are you kidding?" and I replied "no". Both Nate and Josh yell out in excitement...you would have thought that I just told them they could buy a huge Star Wars Lego set! They could not even wait to get home to try out their new toothpastes....they held them all the way home from Target. I didn't realize the excitement in getting your own tube of toothpaste! :)

New Star Wars movie!

Brevin and Justice invited Nate and Josh to the OPENING DAY of the new Star Wars Clone movie. We have not gone to many movies so it was a real treat. There was added excitement because they went on opening day, so (in Nate's words), "We will be one of the first people in the WORLD to see the movie!"
