What I found today when it got too quiet around here....

I love these little boys. That's all there is to it.

The Littles

Elijah has been going to the international school this fall, so my day consists mostly of Caleb and Ezra hanging around the house, doing home school and playing. They wear the same clothes and are almost the same size.  (Caleb, 7, is catching up to Ezra, 4! I joke, but really Ezra's 4-5 pounds heavier than Caleb, though Caleb does have him by a couple inches.) We've taken to calling them "the Littles" because Elijah's so much taller and more "big boy" acting than the other two. I love how they've become buddies and have a blast playing together.

They create all kinds of elaborate forts and projects... this is a car maze...

Here Caleb "cooked" Ezra dinner....

And here they "baked" me cookies.... :)

And here they made a whole imaginary world... they had their beds spread out on the floor and their bears sleeping and their backpacks packed and made paper confetti soup.... not quite sure what all was going on, but they were very happy playing like this for hours....

Here they really cooked "Turtle Bread" - it's become a first grade home school tradition and I don't know what it is about the recipe, but it is way, way yum.
