That first picture cracks me up. We had the Chinese elm in the backyard trimmed after two years of putting it off. The piles of limbs and branches and leaves kept growing until it reached Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout height and grazed the bottom of the roof. I had the boys go outside and stand next to the then-small pile for scale. They were in the middle of breakfast, watching TV, and so excited to do this for me.
They like camo, Nico especially.
Mikey’s favorite color is green, all shades. His closet is black, dark gray, gray, light gray, some dark blue, and all the greens. If I let him buy his clothes, his closet would be black and green. He’d look like a 3 day-old bruise.
Mikey is never barefoot. Nico swears socks and shoes make his feet itchy.
Nico loves wearing shorts. Sometimes Mikey tries to wear jeans when it’s triple digits. I make him take them off.
They both love pumpkin bread for breakfast.
Love that you can make tree-trimming a study of those two characters. :) That first picture made me laugh, and I love how the second one is Mikey being all intense and Nico looking like he’s photobombing.
Nico is photobombing! Good call. :)
Your boys are such cuties! We have a shorts wearer in our family too… she gets it from her Grandpa who has to be reminded to wear long pants to weddings and other such events.
I had a friend who married a short wearer. Right after the ceremony he changed into tuxedo shorts. Sigh.
Great pictures! I love the second one, where Nico is like a little, playful sprite coming out of the forest with his hands just so, sneaking up on Mikey, who is all about looking cool. This one is priceless.
Haha! You’re right. I didn’t even notice it, but Nico does look like he’s doing that cartoon tip-toe behind Mikey. :)
Jules,
Your boys are PRECIOUS! I love their facial expressions in both pictures and I think what makes them even more precious is that they are so different!
Thanks for sharing.
Ali
They are so very different, but also sometimes the same! I guess like most siblings. :)
