Look What I Made!

When Daddy's In Charge

Daddy stayed with Emily while Ben was at school and I was at the doctor's. Look at the pictures he captured for posterity! Looks like they had a wild time=)

Who Stole The Cookies From The Cookie Jar?

Mimi brought Ben and Emily a special treat the other day! A big package of Oreos. Errrm...thanks, Mimi. Not only do my ever expanding hips not thank you, but neither does anything and everything 3.5 feet and below around our home;) We have cookie crumbs EVERYWHERE. And, a pair of sugar-crazed cookie monsters begging/whining/pleading for cookies night and day. I told Ben he could have two after lunch, then made the mistake of leaving the package low enough for him to reach. He waited 'til I was distracted and then helped his sister and himself to the whole bag(well, what's left after yesterday's cookie-fest and mommy's after-dinner snack!). When I came back in the room, I had to pry the package from their sticky little hands and promptly hid it out of reach. They're still awfully cute, cookie-goatees and all=)

Thank-you, Global Warming!

It might be an inconvienient truth, but sometimes it just plain rocks! We have been having GORGEOUS, warm, sunny weather all weekend. My mom was nice enough to spend some time at the park with us on both Saturday(65 degrees) and Sunday(72 degrees!) and we had the best time. Both my children have become dare-devils when they hit a playground, so we weren't able to take very many pictures(not wanting to risk their safety for a photo-op and all). My mom managed to snap a few darling shots of them enjoying the lovely springtime-in-January weather, though!

Ben's Best Friend

Ruby is by far Ben's favorite friend. They are just kindred spirits, I think. They always have fun playing together, almost never fight(unless it's over a REALLY cool toy) and seem to really speak eachother's language. It's so cool to watch their friendship blossom=)

Chug! Chug! Chug!

I think Emily is practicing for Spring Break 2027!

Sad Faces

Ben and Emily both woke up on the wrong side of the bed apparently. I managed to capture both little monkeys looking very upset!
