boys hanging out

i found the boys downstairs 'reading' books together.  they got a little excited when i came with the camera and closed their books.

manning has decided that he is big enough to walk down the stairs.  this would be fine if he would hold the handrail! instead he thinks that holding the upstairs floor as long as he can is acceptable.  fyi - it's not.  but look how happy he is.

while cleaning up, maddux found madelyn's dress-up heals and thought that this would be great footwear for cleaning.  the funny part was that he would quickly kick them off if i picked up the camera.  and then it became a game to see if i "got" him.

it is so funny that they were in such great moods today because last night they were bears.  everyone was in bed by 6pm because daddy had golf and mommy was done with the day.  what was even more amazing was that maddux was asleep at 6:15pm and slept all night!

it is reassuring that the worst days can be followed by the best.  love.
