Three little monkeys

As parents sometimes we forget how incredible the children we are living with are. Sometimes I focus a little too much on what naughty things the kids are doing (use your napkin not your shirt, do not wrestle in the living room, coffee tables are not human launch pads,etc.) that I forget all of the wonderful things they do do. My kids mean the world to me and bring me happiness I truly did not know existed. I love you boys and your Dad and I are so happy with the choices you make (99.9% of the time :) )

So here is a quick update of accomplishments this month of our three monkeys we live with... (As promised to Mom)
