Wonderful Weather!
We just had a great time outside! The weather is finally nice enough to play outside without freezing! The boys took a bike ride and also splashed in some really awesome snow puddles! Unfortunately, the splashing pictures that I took were accidentally deleted from my camera before they finished uploading. I am so sad because I had some really good ones of the boys splashing. grrrrr!
Nevertheless, a wonderful afternoon.

Why do we save pennies?
I was talking with Parker several months ago about money. He had found some change and I told him to put it in his piggy bank. He asked me what we were going to do with all thys money. I explained to him that he could save it up and but something special. He thought for awhile anda all on his own decided that he wanted to save up anda but an airplane ride! Sooo, we have been giving the boys change to save up. I hope this summer we will be able to fly somewhere. Anyway, tonight Parjer sae a cruise ship on tv. He was very impressed by all the fun things you can do in a boat. Soooo, I'm thinking....as a soon as we get to take an airplane ride, we're going to start saving our pennies again for a boat ride.
It's fun being a parent and helping your babies dreams come true.

Talking with Chandler
Writing down things my kids say so I can tell them when they are older.
Feeding dogs treats in the living room...
Chandler~ mom, can I give the dogs more treats?
Mom~no, not right now
Chandler ~ why not?
Mom ~ because dog treats are like dog candy so we don't want them to have to much.
Chandler~ oh. (thinks a bit) Mom, can I have some "people" candy?
Talking with Parker
Playing the batman lego game after bath with daddy...
Parker~ thank you for letting me stay up so early (8:00, but he didn't have to go straight to sleep after bath.)
