Cold winter days.

Another un-original idea. But so fun! Playing in the rice container. This particular time however, I had to run to the bathroom and while I was gone, they spilled a lot of rice on the floor. It wouldn't have been so bad, but they also tried to clean it up. I came out to find rice EVERYWHERE! It took me at least 30 minutes to clean up from this activity. Next time I will be sure to go the the bathroom before we bring out the rice box.

Yes, the boys are in their pajamas. It was a really cold day and we were staying at home all day, so why not? They love to stay in their pajamas.

Sam is finishing his breakfast and wanting to get in on the action.

Drink your vegetables

I know this is by no means an original idea. Recently we have been making "smoothies" with kefir, frozen fruit, and spinach. Its a great way to hide fresh, raw vegetables in a yummy treat. It also helps that the finished product looks almost exactly like the berry smoothie the boys love to get at Costco. Next I will try adding protein powder to it. They are always so hungry these days its hard to keep them full long enough to crank out the next meal.
Here's the proof- they really do love it!

Any time Jake sees the camera come out he makes faces like this. You have to fool him somehow to get a smile or anything natural looking. This is why I have very few cute pictures of him and thousands of Sam. He loves to ham it up for the camera!
