Some Recent Cuteness

Both boys have said some really cute things lately.  Here they are:

The other day, Zach came home from school with the following art project that he'd made from fruit loops:

When Gabe saw the project, he said, "Zach's that's really beautiful.  Did you do it all by yourself, or did you have help?  I can't take my eyes off of it; it's just so beautiful, Zach."

We were playing outside today, and Gabe saw some of the new grass growing (we planted grass seed in the backyard).  He whispered with a big smile, "welcome to the world, baby grass."

Zach's pretty attached to an acorn that we found in the backyard and likes to play with it and bring it places with him (today I found it wedged between the couch cushions [along with a $5 bill!] - evidently he'd hidden it a while back and forgotten about it).  Having joyfully reunited with the acorn, a couple of hours later he asked us to play, "Hide The Acorn".  We haven't played the game before so we weren't quite sure what it was; only that Zach said that he was going to hide the acorn and then we were going to look for it.  So, Zach proceeds to audibly hide the acorn around the corner on one of the columns in the living room.  After asking us to find it, he and Jason go running, and Zach grabs the acorn and yells, "I found it first!"  And then he says that he's going to hide it again and be the first to find it.  Gah!
