The boys have been helping Matt dig a spot for a new garden.  There’s lots of talk of tomatoes and peppers and lots of things Sam will never put in his mouth.  There was also mud and worms and dirty little boys.

Tonight was just a normal Wednesday night in our house. Dinner, then baths, jammies, some snuggles and off to bed for the two toddlers.  Books and kisses and blankies.  Normal. From our perch on the couch it sounded like the normal post bed time antics were starting.  Calls for more water, blankets being thrown off, stuffed animals being tossed.  All par for the course.
