"Hello, My Name is Tanner, and I Love to Dance!!"

Those were Tanner's words to me last night as he ran past me holding stolen legos. He loves the boys' legos, but Luke doesn't like Tanner to play with them. Josh and Luke both have several "ships" that they have put together on a shelf in their room. Tanner discovered that he can open their door and reach their shelf, and no ship has been safe since. He loves to hold them, and play with them, and sometimes that leads to the ships breaking, which of course drives Luke crazy. I'm thinking that it's time to invest in some little sets for Tanner, or have the boys build 2 or 3 ships that are just for Tanner to have.

Anyway, back to Tanner's funny saying. That got me thinking about all the dancing he and Parker have been doing lately. Parker asks all the time for music to be turned on, and then he and Tanner dance away. We have several videos of this, since all the kids think it is so funny to watch. Here is one of the latest.



We also put up the tree and my children, and cat, have discovered a great hiding place. The tree is right in front of our front window, and one of the heater vents. I put curtains up over the window, and if you pull them in to the sides of the tree, there is a wonderful, covered, warm hiding place. This picture is of Luke and Tanner taking advantage of this wonderful space. The only time they get along lately is when they are hiding together, waiting for me to find them.
