Day 4: Fun

Pictured: Watching Barbie in a Mermaid Tale 2 in an igloo tent = Fun. At least when you're 4 and 2. 
Not pictured: A rare nap = Pure Bliss. At least when you're a mommy.

Day 3: Best Part of My Day

I love bedtime! Honestly the best part of my day is a tie between the kids bedtime and when they first wake up. As long as they aren't waking up before 6 am. That I don't love so much. 

Not that anyone is worried or even noticed until I felt the need to point it out, but we don't make them share a tiny bed. They just like to snuggle during story time.

My sister convinced me to do this photo a day challenge I assume in the hopes of seeing something NEW on this old blog, so here goes! 30 days of me.....oy. 

Day 1: self portrait. Sweating it up in the car. YUM. 
Day 2: Busy. Gotta love shopping! Especially with two cuties who apparently thought it was cah-razy funny to pretend to run me over.

She's 2


My baby is not much of a baby anymore! She's a big 2 year old girl and we all love her to pieces. Her favorite things are chocolate (BIG time), being outside, swinging, dancing, singing and TALKING. She's good at getting into everything and being quiet about it! She's my little shadow and must know where her mama is at all times. She loves to say hello to everyone and practice what we call her "Miss America wave". Happy Birthday sweet girl!

Halloween

I can't believe I'm this far behind...

The girls were bumblebees this year (although I think they look a bit more like convicts!) Needless to say, they loved Halloween. Eva, the little rebel, decided she didn't like being told what to say when we would knock on doors, so she would make up her own saying, "MERRY CHRISTMAS!" "HAPPY MOTHERS DAY" or "I'M NOT SAYING THAT" were her favorites.

Lyla figured out that being little and cute had it's advantages and would just say "more" until she felt she had received an adequate amount.

I love these two!

The Big 4!

This is rather late news, but my little girl turned FOUR! I have nearly been banished from celebrating birthdays with my kids because I turn into such a bawl baby. She's loving being a big grown up girl! Her only request was to go to the Children's museum. And for her own barbie. Sigh. I was kind of hoping to avoid ever owning one. HA. HA.

Crazy birthday morning madness! Eva was not all that impressed with my breakfast man, but Lyla at least seemed happy with it.


We spent alllll day at the museum! I have to admit I think I have as much fun playing with the stuff as the kids do! All went well aside from having to run Lyla to the emergency room in the middle of the day. She hurt her arm while we were there and I figured it was broken, but it ended up being a dislocated elbow. OUCH. The doctor yanked it back into place and told us to go back to playing at the museum. It was actually pretty weird.

I think she spent an hour straight just playing with these little cars.

I'm thinking Lyla got the better end of the deal here. :)

On my Camera

I either don't take very many pictures, or I have a really big memory card.

Either way when my camera finally flashed "memory full" I was shocked at how far back these pictures went! I need to get around to a few blog posts about stuff we've been doing, but for the time being, these are random events in my life that I felt the need to document in a photo. Enjoy!There's nothing like two cute helpers to make baking even more fun! Aren't cousins the best?

Some desserts are best enjoyed in the bathtub. For obvious reasons.


She was supposed to be napping. Then she emerged dressed like this. I couldn't help but laugh. That girl has style!

Studying some flowers they grew under a magnifying glass. They have been loving their new Ikea table.

Lyla pushing Eva in the doll stroller. I now have the opportunity to sew a new seat for it. I guess they're serious when they say "for doll use only". :)
