Noah.

I should write a book of the things Noah says. You might even read it. Almost every day there is a zinger and they so rarely get written down. This weekend was the second time he skated, the first time I watched him. I was holding onto that red bar ( pictured in a previous post) and walking around the ice while he skated. I was complimenting him on his balance and his glide step and he said 'Yeah, I always knew I'd be this good one day'

'look mom - now you have 2 dogs!'

Noah is completely capable of getting himself dressed these days and always picks out what he wants to wear. His current favorite outfit he is not allowed to leave the house in. 'It's too cold' really is a valid excuse this month...the gloves and hat were given to him by his teachers for the holiday this year. Every kid in his class has them and most seem to have the same passionate attachment to them that Noah does.

the last few days have been SO GORGEOUS!!! It's finally warm enough where we can stay out for a long time without worrying about frostbite. WE LOVE MINNESOTA!!!!

The Olympic training has begun.

Can you even stand it???? I LOVE these curls!!!

Awwww... isn't that sweet?

Yes, aren't these cute pictures? And if that momentary calm was our real life, I wouldn't even need yoga. Lucas painted for about 30 seconds before figuring out painting Noah and making him mad was much more fun. Later after I got them both out of the bath and went through 3 towels wiping up all the water that came out of the tub, I plopped both the bundles on the couch with books so I could clean up the paint in the kitchen. That lasted about 2 minutes before Noah started nudging Lucas, and Lucas began hitting Noah on the head with his book. Such hilarious stinkers. And I wouldn't want them any other way.

Lucas is quite pleased with his newfound ability to climb onto the table.
