Boys At Play

Playing with train tracks (we have to put them on the table so Reid doesn't destroy them)...

Playing with playdoh (playdough, play-do?).  I forgot how easy this is to make and it lasts forever.  The boys loved driving their cars over the mounds they made.  And, yes, I did give them plastic knives to use.  They loved cutting pieces off, too!

Playing in the pantry. This is one of Reid's favorite things.  But I try to keep him out of there because he makes such a mess.  And he strews the recycling items all over the house.  And throws things from the bottom pantry shelf into the trash and recycling bin.  He almost threw away THREE Trader Joe's truffle brownie mixes that I had stocked up on the last time we were in Bend.  Luckily I noticed they were gone before the recycling truck came and Phil was sweet and went out and rescued them from the bin outside.  Phew!  I would have been really grumpy about that... I sure do love brownies and those are the very best from a box, in my opinion.  Anyway, now we check the bin before we throw things away.  And I try to keep the pantry door shut.  :)

Playing in the bathtub (after eating an Oreo)...

Playing with the food on the high chair tray (another favorite of Reid's!)...

And, here's Mommy at play.  Not sure if I should post this, but it's too cute!  I only ever did this this one time and will never do it again... I promise!  Reid soaked his clothes at my friend Michelle's house the other night, and since she only has girls we had to put him in girl clothes for a little bit until we went home.  She picked out these leopard pajamas that her girls have outgrown and I almost died!  Then I just had to throw a headband on him really quick!  J and E were downstairs so they didn't see this and we only left the headband on for a second to take a quick picture.  But isn't he adorable???  :)  Michelle and her girls and I were laughing so hard!  It was really fun!  Sorry, Reid!  I love you so much just the way you are but I couldn't resist just for a second... you are too adorable!  :)

Here are Michelle's sweet girls enjoying the Reid show...  :)

 And, finally... boys at rest.  On the way to "town" the other day.  My heart just wants to burst looking at this picture... they are so precious and we are so blessed.
