little buddies

Harrison and Davis are starting to really have fun together now.  Davis has always loved to follow his big brother around, but I'm starting to notice that Harrison doesn't always find it annoying now.  One of Davis' favorite things to do right now, is to find a good hat to wear...he is especially fond of Lance's ski hat...

 Or Harrison's underwear...

 So you can imagine how excited he was when it was silly hat day at Harrison's school in honor of Dr. Seuss...

Of course, he couldn't let Harrison be the only one to wear a hat...

I find the two of them right here quite a bit...

(this is Davis' "help me mom!  Change the channel, I don't like what my brother is watching" face)
Harrison wanted to hold Davis the other day, I just couldn't resist taking a picture!

I have also been trying a few Pinterest ideas for the kids lately and they have been loving it...I surprised them one night and let them play with shaving cream paints in the bathtub...what better place to make a mess??

Anytime I need to clean or cook dinner, this is usually what can you expect to see Davis doing...

So the other day when Davis spilled three bowls of Oakley's water within about 10 minutes, I decided it was time to find something new for him to try...what do you know, this actually kept him entertained for about 45 minutes!

I put a bunch of different types of dried beans, pasta and corks in a muffin tin and gave him a few spoons and bowls and he was in Heaven.  I had to keep a close eye on him to make sure he didn't put any of it in his mouth, but he loved it...and I was actually able to get the house cleaned up a bit!  I do have to say, that it ended in Davis throwing beans all over the kitchen, but that was worth it to me!

Davis also learned a new trick recently!  We bought him a scooter for Christmas b/c he loved his cousin Trey's, but he always just stands on it and wants you to push him around.  A few weeks ago, he was standing on it, waiting for me and he started to fall, so he put his foot on the ground.  It accidentally moved him forward slightly and you could just see the light bulb go off in his head because he figured out what he needed to do to make it move!  Yeah - go Davis!  There is nothing more fun than watching your kids learn something new!

About 2 weeks ago, my sister called and we were talking about her upcoming visit to Atlanta.  Harrison happened to overhear us and when he realized that his cousins were going to come visit, he got sooo excited.  I wasn't going to tell him until the day of because he doesn't quite understand time yet, so it was a week of pure torture knowing that they were coming, but not understanding when they would be here.
They finally made it last Wednesday, so we met them for dinner at Pappasitos so they didn't have to sit in rush hour traffic.  The boys had fun, but it was crazy busy so we had to wait for a while. 

The next day we went to the zoo, but unfortunately I forgot to take pictures.  The boys had fun but it seemed like a lot of animals were either off exhibit or sleeping.
Friday was supposed to rain so we took the kids to the Tellus museum.  Harrison has been a few times with his granddaddy but it was my first visit.  I was highly impressed and it was definitely all of the kids' favorite activity of the week.  They especially liked digging for dinosaur bones...

And Davis needed to practice his downward dog for a little bit...

The best part was that the sand/rocks were made out of rubber so the kids didn't really get dirty!  I picked up a handful expecting my hand to feel sandy afterward, and so I was pleasantly surprised!
The boys all wanted to take pictures on the rock collections outside...I was only able to catch 2 of them...

Davis was worn out and I love this picture because it perfectly catches Davis' favorite things...his lovie and his ball...

On Saturday, my sister had to head back to Tuscaloosa, but we were able to take the kids to the Touch-A-Truck event in downtown Kennesaw for a little bit before they had to head out.  Of course the boys loved it, I mean boys and trucks...whats not to love??

We had such a nice visit and it went too fast!  We get to see them in a few weeks, so that made it a little easier for Harrison.
After they left, Harrison came down with a stomach bug that he is still fighting, so we have been low key all week.  Hopefully we will be a healthy household next week!  I just have to end with the cutest picture of the boys that I took while we were waiting to be seated for dinner on Saturday night...
