Brown Snakes
Brown Snakes
Lovin for Meme a few weeks ago.
*********************
Round two of teaching Whitney to knit. She picked it right back up and is really, really good!
**********************
Tantrums and snot bubbles. We have a lot of both in our house.
************************
When I purchased this couch, I never thought of it as a house or a truck. But it is according to these kiddos. A LOT of time is spent in this corner of the couch, surrounded by pillows. Sometimes they are in there whispering and conspiring and I LOVE IT. Even when it has disastrous or messy consequences. Thats what being siblings is all about.
**************************
There might be a slight obsession with "Whitney Poses" in our house these days. Lily is clearly very impressionable.
Im ready to ask Whitney to move in with us. She is SO GOOD with the kids. Just her mere presence in the room alters their personalities.
**************************
Isnt this the most adorable thing youve ever seen? At least for today, surely?
*************************
Josh and Marie kept the kids last weekend so Joel and I could shoot for a full nights sleep. The kids did great and had a super time. Whitney, the toddler whisperer, took great care of them including getting up with them at the obscenely early hour of 4am.
*************************
This little girl did her own birthday thank you cards. Teaching them young to be grateful. (So if you were expecting a handwritten note from "Lily" detailing all that she is thankful for, Im sorry to disappoint you. Instead, you have her priceless, genuine autograph.)
*************************
Why is it that we are having so much trouble getting this little guy to sleep all night but he will randomly fall asleep playing?
***********************
Joel is such a patient Daddy. Lily decorated his hair with ponytails.
************************
Lilys dance career is officially on hiatus. There was a two week break over the holidays and ever since we started back in January, this is what happens when we get to the class. For the days, hours, minutes, seconds leading up to the class, she is excited and wants to go. But when its time to officially start, she clams up, gets upset and asks to go home. We tried 4 weeks in a row with the same result so I finally gave up. Im not paying $55 a month to spend 30 minutes a week trying to convince her to dance. We might try again later this year (or never - whatever).
*************************
Tyler: Need to go potty, Daddy.
Joel: Ok. (or something like that - Im taking editorial liberties here - this part doesnt matter...)
Tyler: Gonna make a brown snake
Joel: Huh?
Tyler: In the potty.
Joel: Huh?
Tyler: Got to make a brown snake in the potty, Daddy!
No clue how Tyler came to call pooping in the potty "making a brown snake" and I dont really much care cause he, in fact, DID make a brown snake in the potty!
