Paper Boys

Image
By
I ordered diapers the other day off of Amazon.com and they sent this extremely large amount of packing paper in with the box so things couldn't shift around in transit. I decided that rather than throwing the whole thing away, the boys could use it to make life size paper boys and decorate them however they saw fit. Dylan started his while Lincoln was still napping so he got pretty creative. He had a few lows when he couldn't get the Nike swoosh just how he wanted it, but he didn't give up. Lincoln wasn't too thrilled with laying down on the paper, or coloring in general but when I told him to color the face he started drawing on his own face. I guess I should have clarified. The boys ended up with some cool tattoos, some lifesized paper boys and some new buddies to practice boxing with. Yes, they had to put on gloves so punching didn't hurt so bad. Silly boys.

Busy, busy coloring.

And now punching their new friends.

    I sure love those boys. They are so cute and you are all so creative! Maybe they need to send flat Dylan and flat Lincoln to relatives for pictures all over the place?

    I was thinking the same thing about sending Flat Dylan and Flat Lincoln around to different locales. Loved all the action photos and belly laughed on the last picture!

Keeping up with the Sadlers

Lincoln favorite new past time, listen closely for "Dada"  Dylan had cowboy day at school and could dress up and meet "real cowboys". We live in a hick town and his school was having an assembly about the cowboy way , or having character. Yes, Lincoln's bib is purplish, but it says I Love my Sister so it's ok :)  Cute big boy outfit Auntie Jackie got Lincoln, while sticking out his tongue. I think it looks like a little pickle. Weird, another tongue shot, he does it a lot. While playing with a plush orange (like the fruit) it sort of landed like this and I thought it looked a little like a bikini top and snapped a pic. Hey you have to have fun with life right?

Soaking it all In

Because I have a bad habit of zoning out when the tv is on, I've turned it off and told myself it can't come on until a rerun of a show I wanted to see comes on at 11. I can't stay up late so I'm trying to watch shows that will rerun, which is most of them outside of the basic cable channels. So obviously instead of working on my homework about Intercultural Crossings in Indian Music while Lincoln is taking a nap, I'm on here updating you on the trivial matters of my day. A friend told me an interesting revelation the other day. "When you have a child that is an infant you are the most physically exhausted. When you have a child that is just entering school aged you are the most mentally exhausted. When you have a teenager you are the most emotionally exhausted." So the way I see it, since I have one in each category I'm basically the most exhausted I'm going to get and since I'm seeming to do ok, it's only going to get easier from here. Y...

New Moves

So I officially started feeling the baby moving around this week, Tuesday to be exact, and now I feel dancing all the time. It's pretty weird because it has been so long since I've housed a fetus and I know no one else can feel it from the outside, but it's really real. The picture I took on the left shows me holding a photo of a 17week baby to scale. It's hard to imagine something that big is fitting inside of me already :) We had the "Mom" talk today inside the Dollar Store. Danielle asked me if it was ok if she could call me Mom. She says I treat her the way a mom should treat her daughter and that made me so proud. I am so glad that even though we have our daily and weekly ups and downs that our family unit is really coming together.
