Reagan and Kiefer enjoy a good round of "hide and go seek" like any other kids. And they can get into a good belly laugh over something as simple as hiding behind their bibs and hearing me say "Where's Kiefer/Reagan?" But they've taken it a step further and have actually started hiding. (Kiefer started it last fall with this trick.)

All the sudden, I will notice a child has disappeared (usually Kiefer). This follows:

mom: Kiefer?
Kiefer: (from afar)Hide.
mom: Kiefer?! Where are you? 
Kiefer: Hide! (giggle) 
mom: (playful tone) Kiefer Allen? WHERE are you hiding?? 
Kiefer: Here! (laugh out loud)

 
Hearing the conversation, Reagan decided he wanted to join in.  I left the bathroom for a second and asked "Where are Reagan and Kiefer?"  This time, two laughs gave it away!

Sun and Snow

With 6 hours of snow off and on today, I thought I'd share some pictures of the boys playing on Saturday. When it was 80. I had to go buy these t-shirts that morning because they didn't have any short sleeve shirts that fit. Today, I had to get out the coats and hats again.

He Shoots, He Scores, and the Goal Comes Down

Reagan and Kiefer hung out with Donnie outside this weekend, and decided to make their soccer balls into basketballs. 

Kiefer showed off his natural talent for dunking the ball.


And Reagan had some moves of his own.


And then the wind caused some interference. (look closely at Ray's face. pretty funny.)


But K-Dog came in with the save. 



But the goal goes down again.  (notice Reagan, reaching for/yelling at the goal as it is falling down.)


Game over.  (until mom or dad weights down the goal again)

Thing One, Thing Two

Yesterday was Dr. Seuss day at school. Reagan and Kiefer wanted to show off their hats.

Still lacking here.

So I have seriously been neglecting my blog.
Part of it is the picture problem. I'm still a little afraid to get into the photo library. I need to fix that problem.
I haven't even taken a picture since last Monday when the pictures were deleted (a week and a half).
I got the camera out yesterday to take some pictures of the boys and the batteries were dead. So I got more rechargeables and those were almost dead. So I got out the charger and apparently two batteries leaked while they were charging last. I have no idea how. So now the charger doesn't work. So just another reason to not have new pictures.

But if you could just imagine... Reagan and Kiefer are still as cute as ever. They are as naughty as ever, also. Fully delving into their independence. Kiefer is still Kiefer. But Reagan has sort of become a different kid. He is enjoying the fact that, all the sudden, he knows how to pick on his brother. And he does it a lot of the times just to be mean. Or maybe I should say annoying. Not my precious Reagan, I know.

Today will be 80 degrees here, so I will dig for some AA batteries and get out the camera while we play outside.

That's all I've got for now. Sorry.
