Big boys car

Yesterday I went to go look at a mini van as we are in the market. The dealership closed before I got there so I didn't get test drive the car. I told the boys I was going to look at a new car.

When I came home, Jasper asked if I got a "big boys cars." I said the store was closed.

His eyes watered up then started to cry. Wouldn't let me hug him or rub back.

He thought I was gonna get them a car. He was upset to learn that when we do get a car, he won't be able to drive.

Pretty funny, yet heartbreaking.

Happy unbirthday

Yesterday we had an impromptu unbirthday party. Joy ordered pizza, I got a cake that said "happy unbirthday Jasper, Jacob, and Monmy" and ice cream. I lit candles. We sang. We ate. We played video games.

Potty training

The boys have been full force potty training for 2 weeks. Joy went full force, no diapers until bedtime. No pull ups unless we go out.

It has been a major success. The boys had a potty chart, if they get it filled out they get a scooby game. They got the game almost right away!!!

Not too many accidents.

We had to get out of house, so we went to the zoo. The boys took to the public restrooms.

Christmas tree up

Wednesday, Joy asked me to bring the Christmas decorations out. The boys got all excited about the Christmas tree. We put the Christmas tree up.

The tree looks amazing! Joy made all the ornaments. The boys had a lot if fun helping put the tree up. They handed me branches. Jacob started hanging TVs branches from my pants.

I had jasper put the star up. I put him on my shoulders. It was so cute.

Snow!

Last tuesday, we had our first snow in Akron. I was work but Jacob brought Joy 4 sweaters in the morning so they would go outside.
They made snowmen and then smashed them.
That night I took the boys to the library. Jasper made a snowball and got me on the way to the car.

Ghostbusters!!!

The boys are so into ghostbusters right now. Jacob only wants to listen to the ghostbusters song. We have been playing it on repeat. We dance and sing.

We also been playing ghostbusters. I get them to play our scenes from the movies, such as the library scene, ray going down the pole, and various ghost catching. We all put on our backpacks.

I got my ghostbusters house that I had when I was a kid and they have been playing with that.

Bikes

On Halloween, I got very exciting news from work. The result ended with the boys getting bikes!!!

Originally, we were going to get them bikes for Christmas. I was worried they wouldn't be ready for bikes with training wheels. I was wrong!!

The boys were so excited when we walked in the door. Jasper yelled "yay!" And after seeing two identical bikes "no sharing!"

Later that weekend we took them to the park to ride at safety town. Jacob loved rolling down the slight hill. Jasper lives riding around the whole court.
