"Angry Eyes"...

Well my Mom thinks that if someone hasn't already there needs to be a children's book on the baby pirate. Brody is so funny when he is pretending to be a pirate or any "bad" guy for that matter he holds pretty firm to the character and is constantly coming up to me and telling me, "I hurt you." with his 'angry eyes' on, his pacifier hanging out of his mouth and his Monkey Moo dragging behind. He is too funny and just so darn cute. My Mom really thought I had better capture it on camera and it turned out to be a lot harder then I thought. He can hold firm until the camera comes out and then he just wants to smile. The boys love to dress up and be pirates, cowboys, superheroes, and Vikings.

Another New adventure for poor Monkey Moo is that Brody thinks it is so funny to stick his tail in his ear and act like he is on the phone. He came up to me the other day with his monkeys tail in his ear and says, "Mom....look phone. Look phone......Hello.....Hello....Mom....Look phone...phone." and then starts laughing. He is really quite the character. In Trev's words..."Who wouldn't love my Brody??!"Half hearted angry eyes...Pirates with their monkeys are the scariest...My cute little Porter-Roo...The boys love to put in these nasty teeth... I love how he is holding the gun to shoot with both hands...The "ANGRY EYES"...Not quite sure what is going on here. Superhero Pirate with a scary face???I do love my Mase-O-Rooni too but he for some reason he has the hardest time taking a good picture he always manages to have his eyes closed and be pulling some weird face that doesn't even look like him and so he didn't make the cut this time. I couldn't handle putting on a bad picture that doesn't show his real cuteness.

I also wanted to write down that the boys were so sweet the other week. I went up stairs to get them ready for school and they had made their best attempt to make their beds. For those of you who may not know me real well I am a CRAZY person that has to have things just perfect or I can possibly be driven to the loony bin. I am at the first step towards recovery because I can admit it. : ) Although I really don't think I will be fully cured. Anyhow, I thanked the boys and told them how sweet they were to do such a nice thing and then Garrett says to me, "Mom....but don't remake them pleeeease.......Are you going to remake them???" I just smiled and thought, Trev is that you?? Trevor would attempt on quite a few occasions to make our bed and then tell me not to remake it and sometimes get hurt feelings when after he left I would. I know I am so mean. Sometimes I could resist and let it go but usually only when Trev was hanging out at the house and I was afraid he would catch me in the act. I know, right?? "SICK"!!! Anyhow it made me smile all day thinking of that and yes when the boys left for school I remade the beds. That night as Garrett was getting into bed he says to me, "Mom, I know you remade the beds." I said, "You do.... how do you know??" He says, "Because they are way nicer." So funny but he didn't have hurt feelings. I still love how sweet they were to do that and then they kept it up for a couple of days and one day I did let them keep them that way. I was quite proud of my self. I often wonder what Trev gets to see and know and if he heard Garrett and I that day and was laughing at us. I miss him teasing me. Love that sweet boy.
