At the end of the day...

I need to begin journaling at the end of each day. I often find myself asking, "what do I want to remember about today?" Usually it is a story about the boys, something we did as a family, or a mental note what I could do better as a mom/wife. I also find myself feeling guilty I didn't start when the boys were born, but better now than never. Here are my take aways for today...

Brody copies LITERALLY EVERYTHING that Luke does. Yesterday, Luke coughed, so Brody coughed. I looked at Howie and said, "you have got to be kidding me." Today Luke raised his hands in the air at dinner and so did Brody. Luke said, "oh man!" Brody echoed. We went to McDonalds so they could run off some energy in the play place and B followed Luke all over. At one point Luke was standing there thinking, with his pointer finger on his temple. Brody right behind him trying to do the same. Brody was coloring on the floor and Luke was doing his sticker book on his bed, Brody wanted to move up to the bed. Today I thought, all I really have to do is parent Luke, and Brody will fall in line. :) The kid LOVES his brother.

On our way to the store we spotted three deer in a field eating grass. I went by too fast for the boys to notice so I turned around and went by really slow. The were very close to the road so they were right out Luke's window. I turned back around to head down the hill, but pulled into the turn lane so we could stop to watch the deer for a moment. They were looking right at us. Luke kept commenting how cool and pretty they were. I asked him who made the deer.
Luke: "God!"
Mom: "Yeah you're right."
Luke: "Go God!"
Luke: "Who made the trees?"
Mom: "Who?"
Luke: "God!"
Brody: "God!"
Luke: "Who made the houses?"
Mom: "Who?"
Luke: "God!"
Brody: "God!" (see what I mean?!)
Luke: "Who made the fence?"
Mom: "Who?"
Luke: "God!"
Brody: "God!"
