What is the magical power goggles possess for producing happiness? 
I am always amused by my boys and their creative play.
Honestly, some of their ideas create bewilderment more than amusement. Nonetheless, on a regular basis I run for the camera to capture the latest antics. 
I moved the table into the living room to do a superior mopping. The boys gathered all of MY pillows and their blankets and created the ultimate daybed and hideout utilizing the dining table.
In 7th grade I made friends with a girl who refused to drink from the same cup. She was very concerned about germ exchange. This is my earliest recollection of the concept. I was under the impression that 2 straws were sufficient protection, further education would disprove my theory.
I always chuckle when the boys share food. Unfortunately, mom prefers not to have food crammed down her throat by an over zealous 2 year old. It may be impossible to escape Lincoln's jabs with a food filled spoon, but at least the boys are mastering the art of sharing.
No child can resist the opportunity to share See Food!I can't imagine who inspired such debauchery.
The daily shenanigans are what keep this phase of life so enjoyable.Griffin's recent deep thoughts have also been highly treasured.
Monday morning Griffin was shaking his head back and forth.
He looked up at me with a very serious face and said,
"Mom do you know what is in my head?"
I wondered if he had water in his ears and was very curious to hear his response.
He smiled enthusiastically and replied, "My brains!"
Too True. Quite the revelation.
The next morning Griffin snuggled into my bed. He rubbed his chin up to my shoulder and shared this gem, "Chins don't have arms mom. They're just chins."
Once again, very valuable insight.

Oh the craziness of these young children! I'm so glad that we think to appreciate it becasue it sure can get annoying if you let it! Hindsight is always good, though. Oh the pretend play is starting to take over my life. My living room floor is nearly always covered with "beds" and babies, dogs and the such. Don't even get me started on making forts with the bunk beds!! Looks like fun times!
We too love pretend play in this house and I'm glad my girls know how to tap into that creative side of them. Tonight the first act of a play was written and recorded...FUN!!
You write so well and I always feel so encouraged by the notes you leave on my blog. Thanks my cyber friend!!!
So so wise. Glad he cleared it up for me...the whole confusing chins thing. :)
I had wondered about those crazy chins of ours and think it would have been a good idea to grow an extra arm every time another baby was born. The chin seems a pretty logical place--high enough to get the tall things out of a closet, yet close enough to wipe your mouth if you're a slob. Thanks for the laughs, Griffy-boy (and Wen!). :)
Darling pictures.
Hi! Thanks for visiting Charlie's blog - he always loves to make new friends! Your boys are gorgeous, and some of the funny things they said made me laugh out loud! I really should write down more of the hysterical things Charlie comes out with - they're so easily forgotten! Well done with the triathlon... you're a braver woman than me! I think 5km is about my limit! Will check back another day to see what your boys have been up to! Still keeping little Ethan in our thoughts too. With love from across the pond - Alison x
hrm....i didn't know that about chins (scratching my chin in deep thought). LOL that's too funny.
btw I have a friend in CA who has a heart baby- her site might be helpful for your friend with the heart baby (esp the archives when their boy was first going thru his initial experiences):

Very cute. You certainly never have a shortage of zanieness at your abode, that's for sure.
You are so good at coordinating the photo shot with the narrative. So fun, I can just see Griffin Just yesterday, he made the discovery that the left spigot on my water cooler give hot water.So he very excitedly pointed back and forth, repeating this one is hot water and this one is cold. Yikes, that is why we have to keep an eye on these little guys!
Love the cross eyed shot, and oh, do the home made forts take me back...Glad you are loving and recording so much...Love you, Mom
I'd like to add you as an author on my new blog. It's exploits of kids, the funny things they say and do. You always seem to have some great ones! Can you send me your e-mail address? Mine's Jill_Lawlor@cox.net. Thanks!
What an awesome post, that little griffin is such a poser :) The cross eyed shot is definitely my favorite. When I saw the picture of griffin feeding "oni's" to Lincoln, at first i thought he was about to stab him with a knife, lol. funny tricks our eyes play on us!
Griffin saves the knife stabbing for the living room TV, not his brothers.
haha!
