How will they ever survive their youth?

The whole Hollenbeck family was able to gather at the Vassar's this year for Easter. The boys each wore their Easter shirts made by Nammy (or "Mommies", as Cedric says. Sometimes it comes out "Mammy" which I don't much prefer :)



Some of the most interesting exchanges take place between Kadin and Cedric when we're not paying attention. This makes me concerned that we are going to have to keep an eye on these boys as the years go by... This time, Cedric was at risk (which will probably always be the case, if not both. Kadin seems to be the 'idea' guy.)

We were sitting around digesting our ham dinner chatting about this and that, which is very boring for 4 and 2 year olds. Tim & Lin have a bean bag chair and Kadin put it in the center of the room... Right in front of our eyes, mind you. He then positioned cooperative Cedric on the edge of it. Kadin then walked away into the kitchen - Cedric stayed put. That was all pretty interesting in itself but it looked harmless...

Before you know it, Kadin comes barrelling out of the kitchen, jumps in the air, and lands on the bean bag chair!




Cedric flies into the air, falling head first inches from the edge of the hope chest! Both boys laugh with glee for their successful launch, not really believing it worked either!

All the adults around the room are speachless... We decide that it would be better if we supervised this stunt and made some adjustments for them to ensure each of their safety. Too funny!
