playing together

I'm posting these pictures as evidence that the boys really DO get along sometimes. In about 12 years, they will be arguing about sharing a car, who is getting better grades, who gets the game controller now, etc. etc. etc. If they are ANYTHING like my brothers, there will be some serious wrestling, and maybe even a few fists thrown. (Gawd! I hope not, but I'm a realist.) I hope to pull this post up and show them that they really did like each other at one time.

Painting in the kitchen. They received a wooden tractor/train at Christmas that needs to be painted before assembling. Suffice it to say that these toys are going to be very, very colorful.

Ah, the Scooby*Doo Mystery Mansion with characters and GOO! The goo drips down from the roof and gets all over everything. (Oh, the joy for mommy, but the kiddos think it's cool.)

Camping out in the front room - Mommy doesn't camp in the snow. Each boy has his own tent, and the openings were facing each other so that they could talk and poke and pester and kick each other until the wee hours of the morning. Mommy slept in the recliner - you know, just in case anyone got scared. (Yes, they could have walked the extra ten feet to our bedroom.)
