Dodge ball/kisses...

One of Caleb and Ethan's most favorite thing to play downstairs is Dodge ball! We started playing it couple of years ago after watching one of Caleb's favorite movies "Chicken Little"...our families favorite line "hit the pig kids!" The teams are usually Caleb and me vs. Kevin and Ethan. Caleb over the years has gotten quite good at dodging the ball. In the back of my mind I thought that playing this was good. It would be "practice" for his future days of P.E. However it has shown to be helpful in another situation...Kisses! Caleb told us that there is a girl in his class that tries to kiss him. So Kevin asked him what he does...his reply "I dodge them!" That's right buddy, the only girl kisses you need are from your mom! :)

Brothers...

I recently took this picture of Ethan and Levi looking at books together...

A couple of thoughts...
First of all, it was a very sweet, as well as quiet moment the two were having together. Second, it shows how Levi is a climber and loves to climb up in that chair. Third, it makes me think how Ethan is "in the middle"...on the days Caleb is home, Ethan is the little brother. He follows Caleb around and does what Caleb does. He lets Caleb be the leader. But on the days Caleb is gone at school, I see a different Ethan. Ethan is the leader! He likes to be the big brother to Levi. Ethan likes to teach Levi things and he lets Levi follow him around. Last, it reminded me of the "same" picture I took a few years ago, in that same chair...

1,000 KinzCash!!

I am sure a lot of you know about Webkinz...you have a little stuffed animal, who has a "life" online. You have a house for your pet, jobs, food, games, money(aka KinzCash) and daily activities...one of them being the Wishing Well(kinda like a slot machine). Well today Ethan hit the jackpot with three wishing wells in a row...winning 1,000 KinzCash!! He was so excited!!! We have never had this happen before with Ethan or Caleb's Webkinz. So this is the exciting news buzzing around the Hart house, as well as the fact that it's Friday...pizza and family game night! Hip-Hip-Horray!!

Some pictures...

Levi had his one year pictures taken last week. The photographer then took a few of all three boys, as well as Caleb and Ethan alone. We were really happy with how they turned out, but more than that we can't believe how big our boys are getting!

cold = sleep?!?

poor little levi has a cold...i feel so bad for him, however to my surprise i have been able to get more sleep! crazy huh?!?! when it comes to sleep, levi is not the greatest. he takes wonderful naps, however during the night well that's a different story. but with this cold i have only had to get up with him 1-2 times in the night, instead of 6-8 on a normal night. sorry levi...hate your cold, but i sure love the sleep!
