Vogue

These two continue to crack me up with their little conversations, for example, discussing an apartment together when their in college, what they aren't even in kindergarten yet? I was informed in the above pic, "this is our favorite pose", what do you say to that? Strike a pose, there's nothing to it, I guess.

HOLY smokes

Im sad that we've gotten to the stage that Xander can no longer pass clothes down to Jude because he wears holes in everything. (no this isn't posed, his socks really looked like this!)

So have I mentioned that the little Mr. has become quite destructive lately, in the last two days he has flushed the metal toilet paper roll holder down the toilet and broken two of our wooden island chairs. What happend and Aww Ohh, Sorry are a few of his favorite lines of the week.
