Drop and Give Me 10


Brent makes the boys do pushups before they can eat their dinner. Here's Keith in ready-position.


Cole excitedly receives his reward for all his hard work.












Occasionally we let the boys take a break from callisthenics so they can play at the park...






(It's possible that Keith is the smallest person to ever sit in this swing.)





...and play at home.











Carbivores
Our children have recently discovered that they actually have a choice in the foods that they eat. The thought process follows something along the lines of, "If I pretend like I don't see my mom and accidently knock the spoon out of her hand or whine loud enough or even spew sweet potatoes on every surface possible, I can eat what I really want." The foods of choice are Cheerios and bread. Perhaps Brent should increase the pushup requirement to 20 so we can balance out the carb overload.

I love the pushup picture, so cute. Kids know the good stuff, why eat nasty veggies when you can have some yummy bread. :)

Darcee,

OK, we need to start our mag soon, our hiatus is over. Your entries are great, I think Pillar needs to launch officially.

I'm happy to see you've already implemented strict physical regimens for the boys and are stressing good nutrition. Seriously, could they be any cuter? I especially love the picture with the hammock.

Logan will just keep his mouth closed, never opening, unless approached with graham crackers, bread, or Lucky Charms.

Ok just to prove that I do have comments on the cutest boys ever. Remember when dad used to make us log how many sit-ups and push-ups we could do during commercial breaks? I can't wait to see you guys in 5 days!!!
