The "Talent Show". In the picture below Daddy had just fallen on his back during Trick #1. Adam is comforting him with a kiss.

Trick #2

Kenzie is showing Uncle Jared how its done.

This is what they call the "Grand Puba" of all tricks. You have to hold your foot and then jump over your leg without letting go of your foot.

Knee walking. Uncle Jared claimed to be a "Master Kneewalker".

Jacob laughing as he watches.

Knee walking race. If you fall you start back at the beginning.

Jared took Kenzie to Nana’s on his way to work this morning. Jacob came to lye in bed with me around 7:30. Adam started talking at around 8:30. The boys wanted eggs again for breakfast this morning. Then Jacob asked to play with his automoblox and toolbox. When Adam wanted to play at the counter too Jacob said, “I can get your wooden cars for you Adam” as he ran to get them. We watched Clifford. Then I got out some paper, glitter and glue. I trace different shape circles to make a snowman on each of the boy’s paper. They had fun decorating them with glue and glitter and markers. While I was helping Adam, Jacob tried opening one of the glitter containers. As he popped the top off, the glitter came up right into his eye. He cried as I rinsed his eye and got the glitter cleaned out. Soon he was ready to decorate again. The boys still wanted to use the glitter and glue after they had finished their snowmen, so I wrote their names on a piece of paper and let them decorate that. Jacob traced each letter with glue and then decorated the letters with glitter. I helped Adam trace his letters and he helped me sprinkle on the glitter. After lunch we had fun playing doctor. Adam was being goofy and running back and forth behind the rocking chair. He’d run to one side, look at me, and say, “doctor” then do the same on the other side. The boys had fun playing with the tricycle. Jacob pushed Adam all around the house. After snack time we read some books together. We also sang some songs. They boys love the song, “Head, and Shoulders, Knees, and Toes”. Jacob helped me tuck Adam in his crib for a nap. Then Jacob and I read some books together and cuddled in the rocking chair. We then lay down on the air mattress in Jacob bedroom and both fell asleep. I woke up around 4pm. Jacob came out to the couch around 5:30 and fell asleep for about 15 minutes. Then he and I cuddled until Adam woke up around 6pm. Jared and Kenzie got home soon after that. While waiting for dinner Jacob and Kenzie played with the barn at the counter. I thought it was sweet when Jacob climbed down to give Adam one of his tractors. Adam also played with some of his tools. After dinner Jacob and Kenzie played with playdoh. Kenzie was looking forward to having a “talent show” this evening. Her and Uncle Jared took turns picking a trick and the other would have three chances to do that same trick. They didn’t have to use all their chances but the last time was the one I (the judge) scored. Kenzie didn’t want me to tell them their score but instead wanted me to write it down for a final score at the end. We got a lot of good laughs. The kids were tucked in bed around 9:30. Jacob didn't fall asleep until around 10:30.

Snacktime.

Who wants the last apple?

Playing with playdoh

Adam woke up around 8:15am. I enjoyed listening to him talk thru the monitor before going in to get him. Jacob woke up around 9am. Adam went right to pushing around his new tractor. Jacob asked to played with the automoblox and his toolbox. The boys requested eggs for breakfast so I scrambled some up for them. After breakfast Adam had fun playing with his gears toy. Jacob pretended to be a doctor. He put his new doctor kit in the “ambulance (shopping cart)” and said he had "business to do". Vikki, Kenzie, Tyler, and Jesse arrived soon after noon. I made mac-and-cheese for lunch. The kids had a great time playing together. As Jacob, Tyler(6 yrs old), and Jesse(4yrs old) ran up and down the hallway Adam trailed closely behind. They were all giggling and having so much fun. We put in the Cars dvd and I gave Jacob and Tyler a haircut. Around 2:30 I lay Adam down for a nap. We went outside and I saddled up Sammy for the kids to ride. We came back inside around 4:30. The kids had fun playing with playdoh at the counter. Adam woke up around 5pm. I gave Jesse a haircut. Jared got home around 6pm. We made pancakes for dinner. The kids enjoyed watching Truman do his trick. Shortly after 7pm Vikki, Tyler, and Jesse headed home. Kenzie is spending the night here tonight. We left to pick up our van from the auto shop and got back home around 8pm. While Adam was taking a bath, Kenzie and Jacob played with playdoh. Adam sure enjoyed playing his new Elmo bath toy. He liked washing Elmo’s head and filling his tub with water. Jacob also had fun playing with Elmo in the tub. He loved scrubbing the “dirt” off of him as it disappears with warm water. Daddy was reading to Adam when we came out. I cuddled with Adam in the rocking chair. Kenzie read to Jacob this evening. He was so excited that she was sleeping in his room tonight.
