Parker still refuses to pose for pictures - this was the only non blurry one I managed of the two of them...
If you read my last post you already know that we’ve been pretty busy lately. This means that Zach and I sometimes are running in different directions (usually him out in the yard trying to pick up or mow or plant things while I’m busy cleaning or cooking inside) and when it works out, the boys are left playing on their own. This doesn’t mean they are locked away in some room by themselves, but they are in the living room or the play room while I bee-bop around them. On both Saturday and Sunday this weekend they amazed me with their ability to play so well together. On Saturday they played together for over an hour without a single tear or screech and no interaction with me. I watched from the kitchen while they played (mostly with a big cardboard box) for an entire hour. It reinforced my belief that kids really do love their siblings, and although they fight like cats and dogs some days, there are other days when they are the best of friends and at least in our house, at least for now, they play more than they fight and I love it!

Man, that's some cold mud!
My kids love their day care. I can tell by the way they act when I drop them off, the way they act when I pick them up and the stories they (and their teachers) tell me about their antics during the day.
Yesterday Xander’s class had a “boat race”. With some leftover Styrofoam they spent the previous day crafting and painting sail boats. On Thursday their teacher filled a radio flyer wagon with water on the play ground and the “raced” the boats from one end to another. Two at a time, using only their breath to push the sails. How cute is that?
Of course, 3 and 4 year olds can’t be satisfied with just water when there is the potential to make mud so it wasn’t long before handfuls of sand landed in the wagon and the boat race quickly deteriorated to mud pies. The kids in the class all did a pretty good job of keeping the mud in the wagon and not on themselves. Parker though? Parker wasn’t satisfied with just rolling mud in his hands. Oh no. He managed to climb IN TO the wagon to SIT in the mud. Yep, that’s my son…
