Video Game Night

Lincoln is always asking Daddy if he can play the Cars video game, and he is so excited if Daddy opens up his office.  Beau is excited just because . . . he doesn't get to play but knows that something really great is going on that he doesn't want to miss!!!  The boys brought in their little chairs and sat so patiently while it was getting set up.  I hear that Lincoln is getting way better at driving the cars in the game.  While he always comes in 10th (which is last), we cheer because he finished it with a great time!  
Beau discovered that his pants had pockets as he was watching the game.  He absolutely loves pockets, and we think it's too cute!  He stared at the action without needing to interrupt because he was busy with his pockets - a win for all! 
Lincoln really gets his entire body into the game.  If he needs to make a hard right with the joy stick, he turns his whole self to the right.  Same with the left.  Occasionally he gives a serious forward lean if he gets going fast on a straight-a-way.  A wreck or crash is a hilarious thing, and he almost loves crashing as much as he loves driving!  (Beau still has his pockets!!) 
After a 10 minutes or so of watching Lincoln, Beau crashed with Daddy on the couch.  They had fun laying together and being silly.  Beau is a 99.9% Mommy's boy, so I love for them to have time together.   
A Cars video game is really fun for the whole family.  I'm sure Lincoln wishes he could play it more than once a week, but he seems to have plenty of fun without it.  I was cleaning out the spare closet, and the boys  snagged a Monster Mash musical book.  They giggled, sang, danced, acted scared, made monster sounds, and had a blast with a Halloween book in the middle of March!
