We were the Three Amigos tonight for supper. Mike had a late meeting at work, so it was just the kids and I home. I decided to make sloppy-joes and we sat down to eat. While we were cleaning up I talked with Connor about his assignment of making a scrapbook(**cough**choke**wheeze**) page for his class book. It was supposed to be all about him. His likes, his hobbies, his favorites. He talked about a few things he could add:
Minnesota Twins Baseball
Soccer
Video Games
Collecting cards
Hanging out with family
Watching movies with family
He came up with every one by himself. For those that know Connor, he is NOT the sentimental one. For him to say those two final comments was shocking and awesome to hear! I probably should have hidden my shock a little because he got all embarrassed when he saw my reaction. It was kind-of cute, actually.
Before I started to help him, I told the kids I was going downstairs to watch The View (had to see Kate Gosselin and Taylor Swift) while riding the bike for awhile, but told Noah if he wanted to try and teach Connor how to find some clip art pictures for his project, that would make this mama very happy.
Before I went down, I snapped a few pictures....
They were just so cute sitting together in the chair, with some liquid refreshment on the side. Noah would show Connor his options and would format the picture for him.
I went downstairs in peace! It was pretty wonderful. (But I still hate the exercise bike, in case you were wondering)
Remember when I wanted a girl? Remember that I called Connor "Emma" for 5 months because I was sure he was a girl? Heck, I even had Noah calling the baby Emma. (That was an interesting thing to explain to a 3 year old once I found out I was wrong) I can't imagine having a girl now. I am so lucky they get along as well as they do. Don't get me wrong, they have their moments, but it's really quite amazing that they have as many things in common as they do.
I've got my fingers crossed they grow up being close and being a huge part of one another's lives. That's my wish for them.

Cute pictures of the boys together. So great that they are and will be such great buddies. You are a good mom of boys!
I look forward to that myself. They definitely have a love hate relationship because of the young ages yet....but it's so fun when they get along.
Your boys are so precious! I think they will stay close when they grow up. I wonder the same thing with my girls.
Isn't it great when the kids decide that they can actually work together and get along! Enjoy this time..to soon they will be grown up and gone and you won't have to even worry about when you ride that darn bicycle!
Your boys are just so sweet. I love that they are such good friends! Such sweet pictures!
Since I was home with Jordyn yesterday, I caught Taylor Swift on The View. :) I thought she handled things well.
Thanks so much for all of your kind comments that you always leave me. I love reading them.
Jordyn is on the mend - had a great day! And yes, in answer to your question, she is long and skinny. She has a long back like her daddy and a little tiny waist.
I'm glad that you never dealt with ear infections. Lucky you!
Hey, just catching up with your blog! I love it. You know, you really are a scrapbooker at heart, you just don't use paper, scissors and glue. :) We miss you guys. Your boys are so sweet and fun!
