Back so soon!?!

My facebook status this morning was that the boys would be the death of me...and while that might be a touch dramatic they will definitely cause me to gray prematurely.  Last night before bed, Henrik would not go to sleep because he kept changing his shorts and shirt every 5 minutes...he finally went to bed in outfit number 10 (none of which were pajamas)...in hindsight I should have just locked the wardrobe shut especially because it would have prevented me from waking up to this:
I thought they were just playing nicely in their room this morning...this is what it is supposed to look like:
Yet the boys thought this was hysterical...

Notice the naked one...who managed to pee all over the bathroom floor, which is what I next walked into (no pictures for you there)...they thought this was a diving board and were jumping off into the ocean of clothes.

Speaking of diving...we were watching the Olympic divers the other night and Henrik (who is grossed out by anyone in their underwear -- Liam loves to just wear underwear -- probably just to bug his brother) looked at the TV and said "Eww...gross (with gagging noised) they in their undies"...he didn't like the skimpy speedos.

Isn't that the funniest oven mitt you have ever seen!?!  I wanted to buy it, but it wasn't that practical, so we got a picture instead...don't you love Ella's look.  At my favorite Goodwill...where I got brand new Gymboree pants with tags and a new mini boden shirt, both for the boys and only $2 each...yeah!

On the way to the beach today...we decided that after our morning we should just get out of the house...Olivia got gum in her hair again!!!  We have a no gum rule now.

Henrik received a lot of comments at the beach...most of which noted how fearless he was...watch for the wipe outs!!!
He got knocked down, but he got up again...and again...and again...
It was the first time the girls actually went out into the water and really boogie boarded...

As we were leaving the beach a woman who had seen us when we arrived and had noticed Henrik throughout the day stopped to laugh at his sand covered body (he had just dumped a bucket of sand on his head as we were about to leave)...she assured me that one day all of his personality traits that she had noticed would be a really great asset, that one day he would be very successful...it was encouraging to the mother of the strong willed and stubborn...
It is a good thing he is so cute...
because he cried the rest of the way to the car because his towel kept falling off his head.
So even though these two may make me crazy!!! 
I just have to smile because really they are just like their daddy...repelling out his window as a kid, climbing on the roof as a toddler, sneaking out to the lake to catch fish...then as an adult jumping into burning buildings, volunteering to go to war torn areas, and loving hanging out of a helicopter ride...yeah I have no idea where these two get it from!
