On two different occasions I have gone in to check on the boys after they are asleep. I have found the older two, asleep with things on their head.
Many years ago, when I moved from Texas to North Dakota, my mom gave me one of those white 'Russian' looking hats. It is very warm but I don't wear it much, but never wanted to get rid of it. Well, B has discovered it and wore it around the house one evening with his pajamas and later that night he had fallen asleep. (The following two days he also wore it to school....he was so proud of that hat, regardless of the comments he got)



All the boys love the football helmet and for some reason, Jbird wore it to bed.


The chores are slowly starting to pay off. One thing we do is pick out our clothes the night before, so the boys can get dressed first thing in the morning. I try to get them to fold their clothes, so they look a little nicer laying on the floor. This morning I woke up to this....I just had to smile. My little Jbird is sometimes so precise and particular about his clothes.


The last two nights Jbird has been sleeping on the top bunk and loves it. He thinks it is so much warmer up there. One plus is that he has not been waking up in the middle of the night and crawling into bed with us.

For those of you who attempted a guess at the baby pictures on the last post, the answers are Joseph, Jacob, Benjamin, Jacob, Joseph. I had one friend that guessed all 5 right, quite impressive since mom struggles to identify them.
