Here are some snippets of their conversation:
- It says "collect one hundred dollars" - yesssss!
- Oh no! You're almost to go in jail!!!!
- Do I seriously have to give you money just because I landed on your thing? Mommy - is that fair?
- I'm in fat city now, baby!
- How about these are just special cushions so if your guy falls off the top, he's OK (holding up a stack of money)
- "Receive for savings 25 bucks" - I got this card in the mail because I jumped off the top and people paid me for it.
- Oh no! This is bad! The bad guys will totally buy this property while we're gone. Silas, hide those cards in your money pack then the bad guys won't get them.
- Oh, all the chance cards are sinking into the sea!
- But remember, chance cards can actually float so it's OK.
- But Oliver, it's a space ship now - look if we just put the board this way! Yeah! That totally works!
- OK so this piece is my spaceship and you can ride on it sometimes.
- Oh, I'll just connect up my spaceship to yours.
Every day, there's some sort of exciting adventure going on for Oliver and Silas. They run a training school for dogs one day, they create a palatial fort another day, they save their stuffed animals from bad guys or transform the house into a boat on a crazy river the next day.
We make cookies together |
They play constantly with their beloved dogs - Choochoo the chihuahua and Puggie the pug |
They do puzzles a lot - one day they made what they called a "puzzle art gallery" |
I'd have much preferred to send them to school when they were 2 and caused amazing mess and stress on a daily basis. Now that they're so fun and easy, I'd like to keep them around longer! Sure, they pinch each other and suddenly need me desperately and loudly when I'm on the phone. Sure, they get into little tiffs about random stuff a lot and still make messes and have a problem with whining about almost everything I ask them to do lately. But I'll keep them. Forever and ever.

Oh Saren-what great thoughts. Even though I still have three years with somebody at home, I have been recognizing the reality of rapidly passing time. I am doing my best to make the most of these last few years.
Although with that said, having a two year old, I would much rather send him to preschool NOW rather than when he's an easier-aged preschooler! ;)
beauty sar. that imagination and spontanious delight that all your kids have is uncanny and charming. teach them to slap. it's better than pinching.
Adam played dogs all morning. Maybe I could send him over for training school some day?
Hey, my reader had a San Jose post... where did it go?
Anyway, I just thought I'd pop on to say we're moving to Tempe, AZ -- I emailed your sister to see if she has any sage advice. Drew's really excited. I'm currently just along for the ride, but hopefully when we get a house and I finally get a job I'll be more excited.
hopefully.
I'm sitting here with grandma reading all these blog posts and pictures and she is thrilled! Hope you've recovered! That was FUN!
