They had fun with their monkeys.

It was very cold this morning (low 30’s). I got up at 6am and the boys were up around 8:00. We cuddled in my bed for a little while. The boys sat at the little table and drew with markers. Adam gave me one of his drawings saying, "thats for you." As I hung it on the fridge he told me it was lots of roads and two cars. We watched Clifford during breakfast. I took the boys to Circle Time at the library. Both of them really enjoyed that. They then played at the train table for a little while. Though both of them preferred sitting by me as I read books over playing with the trains. We read a lot of books. I’d packed a lunch and we sat at the outdoor picnic table to eat. That is until Jacob saw a bee – he then wanted to finish his lunch in the van. From there we went to the mall and the boys had fun playing in the kids area. Before leaving the mall we walked around the toy section of Target. We got home at 2:30. After a snack and reading I tucked Adam in for a nap. While Jacob rested he drew lots of nice pictures for Daddy and I. He really likes drawing houses and today also made me a barn with a giraffe in it. He made Daddy's barn with a turtle in it saying, "I can put anything in there." I did a 30 min run. Then we got out the playdoh to play with. Jared got home around 4:30 and we went outside to cut pumpkins from the vines. Last nights frost killed what was left of our garden, even what we'd covered. Adam woke up and also came outside for a little while. The boys then played with the Toot and Puddle game until dinner was ready. After dinner Jared played some Wii sports until his class started. The boys had fun building with mega blocks. Then we sat at the table and the boys color the monkeys that they’d gotten at Circle Time. I cut out their monkeys and then they ran around with them. This evening we watched a Baby Einstein video. Daddy got done with his class just as I was about to tuck the boys in bed. He rocked Adam and Jacob rocked in the little rocker next to them. The boys were tucked in bed around 9:30.
