While Daddy's been away...

Scott has been away again and the boys and I have been staying super busy. Cohen has become more adventurous by the day and so that in itself is keeping me on my toes. Bryton is loving being outside and doing "yard work" on the pretty days. I have been crafting and getting ready for Bryton's birthday party and the squadron Easter party...fun stuff!

Scott returns tonight and we couldn't be more thrilled!

Cohen has discovered every single cabinet, drawer, nook and cranny that can be emptied in the last week. I have had to reorganize quite a bit to keep his little hands off of things. As you can see, he is always very proud of what he has accomplished :)

We made rainbows out of fruit loops for St. Patrick's Day. We also made rainbow cookies for our friends! The sneaky leprechaun snuck in our house and turned our pancakes and potty water green. Bryton left him cookies by the door in case he was hungry if/when he came back. Maybe next year we will catch him ;)

Another new trick of Cohen's! He empties drawers and climbs into them. I have caught him attempting to do multiple drawers in the hopes that he'll make it onto the counter....what am I going to do with this crazy boy?!?

Bryton painted his first canvas painting the other day while I worked on a project. He was so meticulous in how he did it and did a great job.

The slide has made its way out of the living room and into the backyard because of Cohen's new love of climbing. I would turn around and he would be 3 steps up not knowing what to do next, except fall backwards. Bryton has loved having it in the backyard to play on!

Cohen has a new sound this week which is super exciting! He is using the "N" sound now. Pointing at things is also a new trick of the week....now instead of screaming at the things he wants, he points and screams :)

Bryton and I tried out a new idea of mixing colors using milk. Of course I found the idea online and he loved it. It was fun to watch the colors all swirl together. Then he painted a piece of bread with the colors that he made....he was fascinated!  

Last night, I went to the Officers' Spouses Club annual Auction fundraiser. It is a huge event and always raises a lot of money to go towards scholarships for military dependents and spouses. This year was a Masquerade theme and it was so much fun! We all wore different masks, bid on lots of fun things and had a great girls night out!

This morning we were getting the house all fixed up for Scott's arrival tonight. Of course, Bryton said he would take care of vacuuming the stairs (I know you all are shocked!) and Cohen was right there to watch :)
