Cabin Fever Setting In!

So, I'll have a picture to show as proof tomorrow, but Aidan has officially gotten his first black eye! It was an accident, but he jumped into a battery operated Jeep with some kids at the park. The driver ran into a post and Aidan ran into the dash. Makes him look pretty tough. He didn't cry a bit, and wanted to know when he could get back in and ride some more. His fun-hater mom made him go home instead.
The weather is really starting to turn, and so has the tide in the house. I never realize how much these boys love being outside until it gets too cold and windy and rainy and.... We've toughed out the last couple of days. We even tried three times to go outside the other day, but it started to rain within in five minutes of each try. On the third try I just let them get a little wet as I needed to get some yardwork done. It is supposed to snow tonight, and we still have plenty of leaves on the ground. They didn't seem to mind being wet and cold, but trips outside like that really make the laundry pile up.
Both the boys came down with another cold today. Owen can't really tell me what's wrong, but Aidan says his throat hurts. We're keeping our eyes on them. We can always be certain that whenever they are around Thomas (my old roommate's little boy,) that they'll end up sick...And sure enough they spent Halloween with him. Maybe its conincidence, but it never fails.
I have some video to put up of Owen. He is very much walking everywhere now--and, I mean EVERYWHERE! It's a funny thing to get used to. I had so much time of putting him down to go get something done, and to find him standing at my feet is an adjustment. He is also really starting to hold his own against Aidan. Aidan is now the one that ends up crying! It is a little enjoyable for me to watch, and I can't really say that Aidan doesn't have it coming! So, until I can sneak upstairs to the computer with the videos (without waking two sick and tired little boys up,) this 'text only' blog will have to do!
