Silly boy

Paige drew my attention to Joe as he ran through the house. "See how nice he looks? He always picks out the best outfits." (Joseph is her buddy.)
So I went out to get some nice pictures of him and all I got were 20 shots of this...





And only one "nice" one.

Wordless Wednesday

Sleeping Beauty

Don't your kids always stay in bed when you put them there?
Most of the time, she bounces up the stairs, sippy cup in hand, and jumps into her little bed.
"Blankie, peese." So we get all covered up with our cozy blanket.
"Lily, peese." And we tuck her baby doll, Lily, by her side.
"Sock, peese." Um, and we have to put a sock on her sippy cup.
- Well, cause it's cold.

And she, most of the time, stays there. But there are the nights when she goes to bed at the same time as the girls, and she giggles and tries to play with them. Or the afternoon naps when she just is not tired, and gets up and sneaks around upstairs.
This was one of those days. I heard her banging around in the boy's room for a while but then was silent. I couldn't imagine that she had put herself back to bed, so after a bit, I headed up to check on her, camera in hand, to see where she crashed. And this is what I found.

When I went in for the closeup...

"When he opened the door, he found the sleeping princess..."

Love this!

Check out these twig books. I think I'll try them. Looks like fun.

Somebody's been messin with my baby

I can't figure out who's doing it. Every time I turn around, Joshua has some funny hat on, is wearing a basket, has purple glue on his forehead...

I think it might be the same someone that has been coloring on my walls. Maybe some one's been sneaking into my house and playing little pranks on me. Yeah, that's it. Cause we all know it isn't anyone in my family.

This someone gave my baby his first oreo cookie.



He absolutely loved it!

I just wish I could solve this mystery. Who in the world could it be?

Bath time

We've gotten a ton done around here lately. My goal has been to clean and organize the totes in the garage. Since we have no basement or attic, as you can imagine, I have quite a few out there. Every weekend we have pulled out a few hundred totes and sorted through them, labeled them, and stacked them neatly back into the garage. It feels sooo good to get a project like that done. This day, we brought in all nine totes that said "coats" and spread them out all over the living room.
It really wasn't all that cold that day, but my boys were so excited about the things they were finding (just the stuff from last year) that they were outside in winter coats, snow pants, gloves, scarf, hats, and, of course...
flip flops.

Joshua just had fun trying on the hats.
