Austin (aka "best dad ever") built the boys a huge fort in our living room. It literally took up the whole living room and used every quilt, comforter, sheet, blanket and many baby blankets. It was massive! Austin and the boys were in heaven! Austin decided that he, Luke and I would sleep in it that night. Austin laid down tons of pillows and stuff for us to sleep on, but at 11:40pm, I decided I wanted some sleep so I gave up and went to my bed. Austin and Luke slept in it all night long.
Jensen wasn't mad at all that he didn't get the "privilege" of sleeping in the fort. That baby values his sleep too! He did like waking them all up in the morning though and climbing in "bed" with Austin.
Luke had his own private room! He was pretty excited about it. He can't wait for the next fort - maybe Austin will give him his own private bathroom too.
This is one of the few pictures of Jensen actually sitting down in the fort. Most of the time he would walk around in it, ripping down all sorts of blankets and stuff. He couldn't quite grasp that you had to crawl around in it.
The first thing Luke says when I go to fix his hair is, "Don't get water on me." Meaning, "Sweet, kind, beautiful mother, please do not get water on my shirt or face." Yet, when Luke does Jensen's hair for church, he basically baptizes him - the kid was soaked. Luke thought it was a small price for Jensen to look so good.
Luke did his own hair too - notice there's basically no water on his hair or clothes...
Austin made Luke this hockey goalie's mask about a year ago. It's pretty fun and the kids love it. He completely made the thing up by himself. Pretty talented guy. Luke is usually not the goalie because he gets so mad when people "score" on him, but somehow he doesn't mind being the goalie for Jensen. Probably because Jensen picks up the ball half the time and the other half he hits it the wrong direction.
Doesn't look too confident does he?
Jensen is a yogurt lover. This kid will sit down and eat a 6 pack of yogurt in minutes if you let him. If it's served in a bowl, he literally licks it clean.
I've been "pumping some iron" lately. Notice my huge muscles that are oddly shaped like a tennis ball...
No mom needs to "pump iron" when they're hauling around a huge baby every day - look at that beast!
