365: Week 7

Monday, February 20th:

Both kids enjoy putting on Josh's name tag when he gets home from work.

Tuesday, February 21st:

K is getting very good at putting her glasses on herself....not always on correctly, just on:)

Wednesday, February 22nd:

I apparently forgot to take a picture on Wednesday, so here is one of Isaac from a few weeks ago:)

Thursday, February 23rd:

K and I found their hats and gloves while I was packing their suitcase for the weekend, and decided to put them on....in 70 degree weather:) Oh, and they wanted to wear each others. I-man is trying to adjust to mittens without thumbs...hilarious to watch him try to play in them!

Friday, February 24th:

Josh's parents took the kids home with them for a fun weekend, after seeing "Wicked" Thursday night. K and I jumped right into their carseats, before it was even time to go, very excited for the trip. They all had a great time!

Saturday, February 25th:

Cleaning out the attic was our big project on our child-free Saturday. I couldn't get a good picture but this is a small shot of our attic room, "after". You can actually see some of the floor which was not possible before.

Sunday, February 26th:

I did not take a picture today either. Today was spent cleaning up the rest of the house, resting, and picking up the kids. We had a great weekend, as did the kids, but are very glad to have them back home!

365: Week 6

So I'm a little late but still taking pictures! Here is Week 6 of 2012:

Monday, February 13th:

First Valentine's made by K and I........ during Library Storytime.

Tuesday, February 14th:

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!

Wednesday, February 15th:

We are currently re-organizing our master closet and today received some storage containers. K is checking their stability and I-man is checking out products for our next storage space.

Thursday, February 16th:

Visiting Daddy at work....he already has them doing exercises:)

Friday, February 17th:

Another Friday afternoon, finding entertainment in the garage.

Saturday, February 18th:

My dad, mom, sister, brother, sister-in-law and their two dogs came to visit for President's Day weekend. We had so much fun visiting and just hanging out. K and I were on cloud 9 all weekend, loving all the extra attention and playmates. We were all sad to see them go! Below are some pictures of the kids outside, enjoying the day. (Sadly, I didn't take many pictures and forgot to download from the other cameras).

Sunday, February 19th:

Everyone was too busy sleeping today, after a rough sleeping night with the kiddos, so I forgot to take a picture. Here is one from the middle of the week......just a goofy one!

365: Week 5

Monday, February 6th:

Monday nights are bath nights. Kiddos love their baths!

Tuesday, February 7th:

Taking a break from climbing from chair to couch, to say "Cheese."

Wednesday, February 8th:

I-man loved his Valentine nametag he picked up from library storytime......and decided to leave it on all morning.

K eating a fake avocado slice, watching the garbage truck pick-up down the street.

Thursday, February 9th:

Finally big enough to use the Publix car-cart. SO much better than pushing them in their stroller, dragging a cart behind me. SO much better. And they loved it, crying when we had to get back in the car:)

Friday, February 10th:

Ironing while Mommy packs for a girls' weekend.

Saturday, February 11th:

Josh had the kids all day on Saturday. Apparently they had a lot of fun with hats! I'm guessing it started with the winter hats that were too small......

Sunday, February 12th:

Taken right before loading up for church. I got a call from Josh shortly after this asking what in the world he was suppose to do with K's curly, static-y, crazy hair:):)

365: Week 4

Sunday, January 29th:

Both kids were very snuggly with their daddy after Sunday naps.....so sweet!

Monday, January 30th:

Fun at the park on a beautiful day. K loved the slides and I-man actually paid more attention to the trucks driving by:)

Tuesday, January 31st:

Very proud of the new basketball goal. She can play a mean defense....don't let the bow fool you!

Wednesday, February 1st:

This picture cracks me up. K had chosen her water shoes as her shoe of choice the last 2 days. And true to her prediction, it poured today in the middle of our grocery-shopping run.

Thursday, February 2nd:

Very own tower of pots....a dream come true:)

Friday, February 3rd:

I am slowly, but surely working on cleaning out (aka getting rid of lots) in each room of our house. This past week, the kids' closet was my focus. Finished product.

Saturday, February 4:

Beating Daddy to the car before a little shopping trip. Also found a stash of snacks in the process:)

Sunday, February 5th:

So excited about our new camera!! Now we just need to figure how to use it!

Saturday, January 28th

Saturday was a day of several firsts for the kiddos so I decided to do a separate blog post. Our first event of the day was going to two of our nephews' basketball games. They both played at the same time on different courts, so we just sat in the middle and tried to keep track of both. It was a lot of fun, and I am very impressed by both of them. They each scored several baskets and seemed to know what they were suppose to do.

Only picture I got of them together.....cheering on their teammates

I-man was captivated the whole time, barely moving on Aunt "Nows" lap.

Miss Shy had her head buried for half the game...until the Goldfish crackers made an appearance.

After the game, Josh took the kids to the park so I could run some errands. Then, after naps, we headed to the mall for some shoe-shopping and dinner. While at the mall, we decided to take the kids on the carousel, as they have never ridden one. I'll let you guess who enjoyed riding on a horse, and who didn't:)

A little hesitant at first, it sures seems a long way down there! He eventually enjoyed going up and down and repeated his ride ("up, down, up, down") from the confines of his crib later that night.

K, on the other hand, wanted no part of riding on the pig you see behind me. She emphatically told me "no" several times, so we just stood behind the boys and held on to a pole. She seemed to enjoy that:)

Finally, after a delicious (and messy) meal at Ruby Tuesdays, we topped off the night with a few rides on the mechanical cars. Minus the quarters:) The kids didn't know any different.
