The 2 year olds!!!

Everyone has to take their turn being the HAM.... Here they are the three 2 year olds. They enjoyed spending some time together yesterday. They played animals, colored, watched a little tv, they pretty much made themselves the center of attention!! They had a great time and wore each other out. Ethan was alseep before the road even turned into pavement. Sophie was unable to attend, she was trying to get as much rest as she could, she is trying to get over her cold and cough. I am sure that she enjoyed her naps with Daddy. Edie was there though, smiling as usual. I am sure that she was crawling around while this photo was taken place.

Peek-a-Boo... gone bad....

Here was a simple game of peek-a-boo... but you see... Ethan has this thing with personal space... He just doesn't believe in it... I was sitting there watching and thinking that I was enjoying a sweet momentbetween brother and sister... and then it happened. He moves into her face to scream the words peek-a-boo.... beacuse you know, if you are more than 4 inches away you must not have heard him. Then squishes his face against hers and then... well you see the pictures end, because I needed to help her.

Don't get me wrong, this was a sweet moment between the two of them, and as I have said before watching them play together, just warms my heart. I am sure in a couple months... the shoes will be on the other feet, and Ethan will be crying for me to help him. (If you enlarge the pics to look at them please believe that I had no idea Ethan had such a boogie hanging there....UUUGGGGHHHHH

Strike a Pose

Here I am cleaning around the children and there is Ethan, lounging on the bed, just yelling CHEESE!!!! So I ran and got the camera. (the thing should already be attached to the side of my face. I am surprised my kids can recognize me without it.) So between pushing his vacuum into mine, there he was just lying around. I guess it is better than taking out all the toys right behind me.

Time for another gate!!

Look who is discovering her new world. We were all playing in Sophie's room, and I left to sit on the steps. This was a test to see if she is brave enough to explore. Apparently... she is. She looks either scared of the steps, or surprised to see me. It is a fact though, Brian and I need to invest in another gate. (Nono, we may need you to help us build one like Joy's)

Dancing like the wind

Last week at school we were learning about all kinds of weather. They made clouds. They also made flowers that grow with the help of the sun. This is Ethan dancing like the wind. They used streamers and danced to the music to make the streamers move like the wind. One of Ethan's favorite parts of the day are project!!

Looks like he is waiting for spring

Looks like Ethan is waiting for spring to come. He is at school, and has all his winter gear on, and is practically stuck in the car. He can not wait for the snow to be gone so he can ride his bike at school and at home. He does love the snow also. He likes to play in the snow and go sledding.

I think someone is ready for bed...

I think that Sophia really enjoyed herself today as well. This was in the midst of her last bottle before bed and needless to say... she didn't make it. All the excitement, and noise from the birthday party today has taken its toll on her.

Who would want to eat their lunch when you could have a pop!! Ethan I can say really enjoyed himself today.



Thank you Nickolas for inviting us to your birthday party.

Ethan went to his first bowling birthday party this weekend. My life long friend Jen, had a party for her 5 year old Nickolas at Stadium 10 Pin. Fun was had by all.

This is Nickolas's little brother Trevor. I think that Trevor liked the music and dancing more than the bowling!!

Here is Nick on the right, bowling with two of his cousins. Everyone had a great time.

Meatballs???

After you finish reading, you will realize why I have to be careful and selective on the picture.

Thursday night I was changing Ethan's diaper. I put the diaper off to the side so that I could put the used wipes inside it before I folded it all up. Ethan caught a look at his diaper and said "I POOPED MEATBALLS" I could not help but laugh out loud. I think that it is one of the funniest things that the little guy has said to date. Every poop since then, has been the same thing now, he will come up to me or Daddy and let us know that he has some meatballs!!

Kerry- I am not sure what it is with the boys in our family, and naming their bowel movements, but man, it is funny.

Forward Crawl...

Sophia has finally found the forward button. On Wednesday night she saw Daddy come in from work and took a few crawls forward. Now you all know that she could move around pretty well in reverse, and now she can go forward, and oh my goodness she can move fast already!! Yikes

You know what I always find to be amazing... no matter how thorough or often I vacuum the carpet... how does Sophia still find something to pick up and put it in her mouth... THEN I REMEMBER...........ETHAN.

Where has the Time Gone???

Where has the time gone... The days of baby food are numbered. Sophia has been joining us at the table for the past couple weeks. She eats the same as we do, except very cut up. I can not believe how fast time is slipping by.
