Oh Tobias

Tobias is three. That makes him a character, and it means that he says things incorrectly in an adorable way. Here are some words and pictures from our youngest.

First day of preschool. Don't worry, he finished the sucker before class started.

Benjamin's Buttons

Benjamin has buttons- and his brothers think it's really fun to push them. Benjamin reacts in all the best ways- screaming, dramatic soliloquy, collapsing in despair, the works. Benjamin also likes to push his brother's buttons. He likes to follow people around and repeat the same word over and over or just get in someone's personal space and refuse to move. It would be shame to let this button-pushing ability die out so Benjamin has an understudy. Tobias. Those two are quite the team. They call each other "my best brother" and choose lots of interesting activities to do together. These activities push MY buttons. Here's a few I've witnessed in the last little while:

Turtle Power!

Halloween was a blast this year. I bought some canvas bags and fabric markers to make permanent trick-or-treat bags since Walmart has foolishly stopped carrying the Halloween buckets that we liked. Each of the boys had me draw a Halloween picture for them on the front and then decorated the back themselves.
That's an elephant witch on Elijah's. David John threw a tantrum at one point and scribbled all over his, so I just turned them into transformation lines when Dracula changes into a bat. David John also decided to add another mini-Minion on Benjamin's bag.

Wacky Wednesday

The boys had Spirit Week last week at school. Wednesday was "Wacky Wednesday" so Gabriel decided to go for it.
