Together the boys have fun stirring up trouble in the kitchen, playing with daddy in the park, and horsing around in the sandbox. But when afternoon antics turn to tears over a favorite toy, it's time for some quiet. After a little reading for older brother and a nap for younger, all is well again -- and just in time for a pillow fight. A yummy snack rounds out the day.
