Defiant Will & A Visit From Uncle David

William has learnt to say "no". Sort of. It sounds more like "nyah-nyah! nyah-nyah!", but it most definitely means "Oh heck no, mama!" or "Forget it, I am NOT going to bed!" or more often then not "You can't make me!" Ahhhh, fun times....Actually, like Owen shaking his head in the video below, it just makes me laugh. I'm probably encouraging bad behaviour, but its hard not to crack a smile when they're so cute mid-naughtiness.

My brother, aka Uncle Dave, has been visiting this weekend and has had quite the show - lots of crying (Will is having a seriously hard time with an incisor tooth), but also manic laughter (and that's just from Mark - badoom-boom!). But Dave took it all in his stride and doled out hugs when needed, or stern looks if someone was chucking food or pulling hair.

Thanks for the visit, Davey - next time make sure to bring Tatie Nichons with you!

Here are some fun shots from the weekend

We bought sand for the crabbie and let the boys go wild. Will was very studious in his play, carefully tipping sand and watching intently as it flowed back into the sandbox, whereas Owen just flung it all around, but most especially out of the box. We're still working on that one.
Don't you like the way Dave made sure his shirt matched the sand box? He's such a stickler for details, that guy.

Uncle Dave is as silly as mummy!

Just cute - Owen David with his Uncle David.

I like this photo a lot, apart from my Conan O'Brian hair thing going on.
