Five for Friday

Five things I want to remember from the week...

1. The new knock, knock joke: Knock, knock. Who's there? Ready. Ready who? Ready, set, blast off! (again with the laughter) I love watching how excited they are when they've finished telling a joke. They could have told the joke a hundred times, but that excitement never leaves. I wish I could capture that emotion for them and pull it out whenever I need.
2. The boys have started a new series of exercises to work their glutes. It is too cute to see them do their reps of donkey kicks and clam exercises. We have found that we have to be a bit creative to keep their interest/desire to do the work. Tonight, Shawn was motivated by my iPhone while Jay wanted to read his new magazine with daddy. Hey. Whatever it takes, right? :-)
3. Jack has a runny nose again. Boo. The poor guy just can't seem to catch a break. I'm trying to take the "glass is half full" mentality by savoring the extra snuggles I'm getting. I do love me some snuggles!
4. The boys got a new sandbox today. I can't wait until the weather improves (it's very windy right now) and we get to try it out. We now have an inflatable pool and a sandbox. I'm even contemplating getting a swing set for them. These boys are going to be set for summer vacation! Thankfully, that vacation starts only 13 work days from now.
5. Jack has decided that he should no longer have to use his own hands when we play patty cake. Instead, he now prefers to grab my hands and make my hands clap. Personally, I think this new way is more work for him, but he thinks it's funny. It cracks me up, too!
