Favorites

I want to rip off a friend and start posting my Friday Favorites.  I think it's a great way to remember the week and to record fun things that are going on.  I also love to read my friend's Friday Favorites because they make me happy!  I bet it makes her even happier to write them.  So I'm going to experiment with them.

1. Soren has gotten really excited about watching Scott play Megaman lately, which he did a lot over the Christmas break.  Now Soren plays Megaman with paper!  He makes paper dolls of Megaman and the different villains as well as backgrounds for them to fight on.  He spends all his spare time drawing and cutting and taping his new "toys" together.  I *love* to see him envision a project and then carry it through!  I also love that he is entertaining himself so happily.

2. We went to the park this week in the freezing cold.  The boys were very excited about their snow pants!  I was also excited because they didn't complain that they were cold but played outside for 2 hours!  Yeah!

3. Scott and I played Hollow Earth on Tuesday with Sherise and Cody.  Scott is currently DMing and there was a lot of "big reveal" in this week's session.

4. Carl has started walking himself up the stairs to our apartment this week.  It's awesome that I don't have to carry him anymore; now I can carry books, groceries, or whatever else we are lugging up to the apartment.

5. Scott and I went to the temple this week.  Sharon watched our kids.

6.  I read a couple of books this week: Seven Miracles that Saved America (read because I'm feeling a little guilty about my political cynicism) and Od's Magic (Harry Potter for adults?).  I feel like my boys are getting real old, seeing as how they entertain themselves enough for me to read a couple of books in one week!  

7.  Scott bought some Daft Punk music and downloaded it onto my computer!

Brother Love

Most of the time, Soren and Carl don't really interact with their new baby brother.  They do their own things, neither commenting nor complaining about our new addition, and he does his own things (eating and sleeping).  But when they do interact, Soren and Carl are really loving to Sven.  Those moments are very sweet to me. Like last night, when Soren asked me if Sven could sit in his lap.  He actually makes that request pretty frequently.  And then he sits there, with Sven cuddled in his lap, looking very proud and happy. Often, one of the boys will tell me very earnestly, "I want Sven to be a part of our family forever."   What mother wouldn't melt at that? In the evenings, after scripture study, Soren likes to make Sven "talk", sharing his thoughts on the day.  Soren uses the same gravelly voice that Scott does to put words in the baby's mouth. "My favorite part of the day was eating," he'll say, while holding up Sven's ...
