The boys

Well, this past weekend was a real treat. We split the boys up and headed to different places for the weekend. Nolan and I went to Spartanburg to hang out with my mom and dad. Peyton & Trey went to Pinehurst to help Mamaw and Papoo move. Surprisingly, it was a very peaceful weekend. For some reason the boys are better when they are apart. I guess they have no one to fight with! I only had to fuss at Nolan two times and it was such a stress-free weekend. But the weekend got me thinking about what the boys are up to these days and I thought I would share.

Peyton at almost 4:

• Is very good on his tricycle. He was a standout at bicycle day last week. His teacher, Ms. Myra, was very impressed.
• Loves fruit. He ate an entire quart of strawberries on Sunday.
• His new favorite show is Kai Lan.
• His best friends at school are Kendall and Logan.
• Wears 5T jeans and they are almost too short.
• Has very smelly armpits. (Is it too early for deoderant?)
• Calls sprite "kepsi water."
• Gets frustrated easily.
• Loves monster trucks.
• Just recently went to a birthday party at a bounce house and got on all of the blow up things (which is huge because he has always been terrified).
