Hanging at the Apt

We did some artwork this week. This is the only spot that in not a bathroom that is not carpeted and I did not dare give Brody a paint brush over the carpet. He did quite well, and only painted one cupboard door. I did have him in clothes for these pictures but they very soon came off because it was all over them. Luckily, I bought kids paint that washes out easily and the clothes were safe and the kids had fun!

 This is Clayton painting a rose for his grandma, although he could not decide which grandma he wanted to give it to so he was going to paint them all one. He lost his enthusiasim and we ended with just the one picture and put it on our fridge. Sorry grandmas! Its the thought that counts with this one for sure. His heart was there but his mom wanted to keep his cute picture.

 Here is Brody doing just what his brother does. He could not really understand why we were doing it on the paper when it was just as good on everything else but by the end he did better just putting it on the paper.

 Here they are playing with the Legos. Brody really does follow Clayton around all day and just wants to do what he does. It is adorable and Clayton is so good about letting him play. For the most part they do well together and have a lot of fun. There is nothing better than listening to your kids laugh and play together. No one can get Brody laughing like Clayton can.

 This is Claytons awesome fort that him and his dad built. He loves to play with it and have battle between the good and bad guys. He honestly cannot get enough Legos and neither can his dad. They had me buy more so they could build more.

 Here are the boys again. Brody is riding on Claytons back. He lays down and holds onto it and laughs the whole time Clayton crawls around.

 This is Clayton "riding" on Brody's back. Like I keep saying he wants to do everything that Clayton does and I mean everything.

So I know that these are long blogs but I thought I would put a few things down that I have been meaning to write about the boys.  Things that I love.............
Clayton loves to dance and everytime there is music he will bust a move- he loves to do moves that are more like break dancing than just dancing. I have been watching so you think you can dance and he really picks up on things easily. We are going to put him in gymnastics because he is very coordinated.  It is pretty awesome.
Brody has been watching his brother and loves to walk down or on anything that makes his walk more exciting. He will walk down the curb, or on the lines in the street, on and over the rocks, NEVER around anything.
Brody is soooo stubborn and independant, without grandma and grandpa we do not get as much done. He is very willing to let them help him do things, but mom and dad cannot. He has to do it himself. He will literally go hungry before he will let me feed him with a spoon. But he is the messiest eater ever! But I love him for it and it makes him one smart tough kid.
Clayton listens to everything me and Ryan are saying, even when we think he is not listening. He will hear us talking about a problem and he will always have a solution for it. They are always the easiest and purest things you could think of. I love to hear his solutions to our grown up problems, and most the time he leaves me thinking that I wish things could be so easy to solve, or if only I could have a more relaxed way of looking at things. Us adults always over complicate things. 
Well those are a few things that I can think of for now. I do love my boys and my husband. He is amazing. As always, I am a couple weeks behind on blogging so I have many more pictures to share so this is yet again to be continued..... Loves to everyone!!
