This has been the easiest move of my life! We have settled in already and the boys are more at home than I have ever seen them. They are up to their usual, brotherly shenanigans, and I am just grateful I have kept the camera handy.
Before we got the boy clothes back in their drawers, Søren's drawers debuted as caps.
Elliot is not always sure he needs or wants his big brother's help.
But big brother is determined.
This lovely brown carpet makes me less fretful about them eating in the living room.
They love the new house (currently named "the little house on the prairie" by Søren, who is currently insisting on being called "Laura" and calling Elliot "Mary").

I used to play "Laura, Mary, and Carrie" all the time with my neighbors growing up, and I usually had to be Laura or baby Carrie.
I love the last photo--look at those blue eyes!
Glad to see you've settled in so well.
Ha, ha! I can't remember if we ever did the underpants on our head, but we definitely did half slips. Made us nuns. Or brides. Well, beautiful, anyway.
I love that they're playing Little House on the Prairie. Andrew and I used to do that when we were kids. Ask Andrew if he remembers when Pa (Andrew) decided to chop wood. He hacked down Mom's lace-leaf maple w/ a t-square. She was not thrilled w/ our reenactment. Glad you're settled and happy in your new home.
Leah - Laura is the hero right? Not so bad. Baby Carrie seems a little speech impaired to me...but maybe I just have high expectations =)
Melanie - Oh! I remember getting into my mom's slips with my sisters! Yes, they were the ultimate expression of secret female beauty (and now I detest them!).
Summer - I think I would feel a little better if Soren was pretending to be Pa rather than Laura (ya know, it might just be my own paranoia considering my own Pa) though I am glad he is not hacking anything down around the house. Andrew laughed out loud when I read your comment. He said he forgot that you had been playing Little House at the time. He also said it was a framing square (the difference? I am not sure).
oh NO!!!!
Jen - "Oh NO!!!!" what? The Laura thing? =) I think it is a safe phase. I think we just need to let him watch something other than Little House....like something with a boy as the main character. This week we watched "Blue Butterfly" instead about a boy whose dying wish is to catch this rare butterfly. Boys and bugs. Good stuff.
