Here we are dancing in their room (Zach in stripes, Charlie in red)
Charlie snuggling with his favorite stuffed animal, Mutsy. Molly chewed the nose of it, he was so sad and keeps saying daddy is gonna fix it. We've yet to find a replacement nose! :(
Oh the smile....the wonderful happy Zachary smile. You only get the glimpse of this beautiful wonder if he lets you. 
Above and below - Peek-a-boo! I got the boys these see thru scarves! They love to play with them. (They were actuallly dancing and chasing each other in the first picture with the scarves but had dropped them.)
Potty training has begun! We are not intense with it yet. Charlie loves to sit! When Daddy brings him in, he gives him a magazine to read. Therefore Charlie loves to go in with Daddy. 
Cheese!!!! 
Charlie has discovered the love of PEANUTBUTTER! :) Marc and I are both lovers of PB, and now so is Charlie! He'll ask for it on a spoon. On this occasion, I handed him the spoon and he ran into the livingroom with it, climbed up on a table and sat there swinging his little legs and slowly licking the PB off the spoon! It was sooo freaking cute! 
As you can tell we had sooo much fun painting today! I got some awesome pictures! They are once again in reverse order - Sorry!
Charlie climbed up on the table, he loves to dip his feet in the paint. 
The yellow bucket type things are called Bilibo. They are a very open ended type toy encouraging children to use their imagination. Charlie loves it - he pretends its a helmet, or he sits in it sometimes. Zach was spinning it in this picture, but he also slides down it!
And these two silly wreath pictures! We were putting away the Christmas stuff a few weeks ago and both boys thought it was a flower! LOL It was so funny!
On Christmas Eve, Marc's aunt (Aunt Joanie) came to stay with us. She started a new tradition of reading the book Twas the Night Before Christmas with the boys. The picture on the left was taken while reading the first or second page...they didn't last much longer than that! But Marc and I enjoyed listening to it! Below they are all looking out the window at the decorations across the street.
Merry Christmas! The boys love playing the piano at Nana and Poppy's house! Below is also what our living room looked like before the boys got up! They loved their little kitchen and the small water table. Zach had no interest in opening presents, so it was all left to Charlie to open!
On Sunday, a day where we just stayed at home and relaxed, we let the boys use the water table! Charlie didn't have as much interest as Zach.....who LOVED IT! (And so did Molly, who drank and drank - we wondered why she had to go out so many times that afternoon! LOL)
My little climber! He climbs on everything! And dumps water everywhere too! (Often on the floor of the bathroom during a tubbie!)
Meanwhile, Charlie spotted his truck on the table and was zooming it to his hearts content.
We had a very nice holiday and hope everyone else did!
The snowflakes were huge! Charlie loved opening his mouth to try to catch them - it was sooo funny! And then when they just plopped on his face he laughed and laughed. 
His gloves kept falling off, I guess I need to get them bigger gloves! He just loved it so much!
Shock, utter shock, at the snow plow.
and my adorable Zachary....he was afraid at first, but then he was ok once Daddy shoveled a pathway. He was still not laughing and stuff, but he was very curious as to what was going on.
Aunt Joanie gave me a call on Friday saying she needed a "twin fix". I said come on over on Sunday. I had planned to mix up cookie dough while the boys napped - haha - the past few days we have decided not to nap! Please pray this doesn't continue! But look at all the fun we had mixing up the cookie dough with Mommy and Aunt Joanie! The mess was nothing to clean up compared to what it really could have been!
We love having visits from AJ! And the boys get so excited when we tell them she is coming to see them! Charlie wakes up asking for her, and for a few days afterwards will usually ask where she went. The love between these 3 is amazing.
We tried them on our toes - that was funny and it tickled!
OH and our new boat - that they wanted mommy to wind and wind and wind over and over again, Thank you~
Hmmm....what is this that you are squirting on my belly?
Oh its on his too - I can rub it on 
Anyway, last night the boys got new markers from Aunt Allyson, Uncle James, Jack and Scott. Charlie immediately spotted the gift bag first thing this morning. So here is what the boys were doing at a lovely 7:15 this morning! I hadn't even had my coffee yet! But in all fairness, they did sleep late because when the boys are with Jack and Scott all they do is laugh and laugh at them. Jack is 7 and Scott is 5 and they think its great to make Charlie and Zachary laugh by doing stupid things. I can't wait to see what their house is gonna look like in 2 years when their daughter Baily will be about two (she's arriving on the 18th, I can't wait!). 
And the boys have moved into "BIG BOY BEDS". No they were not fully climbing out of their cribs - yet. Charlie had done in once - actually the day after the beds arrived. We had ordered the beds so that they could get used to them and do the transition SLOWLY. There just isn't too much slow about these two. Down came the cribs and the boys moved into their beds! They are doing awesome! We put them in an L position so they could be right near each other. Sometimes they end up lying right next to each, sometimes on the same bed, and other times they sleep just where we've left them.....especially at bedtime. Naptime, however, is a different story! I frequently hear pounding on the walls and every so often Charlie will knock on the door to come out! Its funny to sit and listen to actually. 
Every year Marc and I make Apple pies for Thanksgiving. This year the boys joined in on the pie making! I think they sampled almost every apple we had before we peeled them for the pies! Good thing no one was sick - a little germies won't hurt anyone!
