Which Kid is Which?

OK so these are all pictures of Benjamin or Matthew. I was going through photo albums after the move and realized how much they do look alike! Here are the answers.

Tentmaking

The kids were bored the other day with most of their toys packed up before our move so we made a tent in the living room They had fun for a bit!
I loved doing this with my siblings when we were little.

Hat of Horns

Benjamin has Crazy Hat Day at school in a couple of weeks and I remembered a pattern that I had found and saved, "The hat of horns." So here is what I came up with.

Evan's poses

Jacob's poses. I had to make another for Benjamin but the other kids liked this one.

Brotherly Love

I came downstairs the other morning and this was what I saw....

They were all so cute under the blanket together. Some times they fight like cats and dogs, but they do love each other.

I'm in trouble now!

Matthew was way too proud of this accomplishment over the weekend!

But he is awfully cute!

He kept practicing.

Happy 7th Birthday Benjamin!

Benjamin got started with birthday festivities on Friday at school. He was king for a day and scored birthday cards and took chocolate covered pretzel sticks into school (thanks to my fabulous friend Connie for making them!).

That night we had a mommy-son date and went to see a production of "Wonderland" that his school did. We had a lot of fun!

We started off the day with donuts for breakfast at the request of Benjamin.
Here he is enjoying his yummy chocolate donut.

Then he opened presents. He was so excited...

because we actually found a copy of the game he has really been wanting...

Mario Kart for the Wii!

We made Benjamin's favorite food, pizza, for supper, and he is also a money collector so he is posing with his dollar coin.

I couldn't go too fancy on the cake since my cake pans are packed but we got some cool birthday candles and he liked it.

Matthew liked the cake...

Jacob liked the cake...

and Evan was all about the ice cream.

It was a good 7th birthday for Benjamin. How can he already be 7?
