Chitty Dance

The kids love Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and the Old Bamboo song..

girl is quite the stomper

I blinked & missed February!

Two kids got along so well at Dominika's..

after a quick fist-fight/bathroom turf war.

But they made peace with Cheerios

Valentine's Day brought the kids 101 Dalmations..

and brought me 90 minutes of free time


because she's fabulous

boy was sending out Valentines to all special ladies (read: me)

the boy has never been one to hide his feelings,

but we've been getting more & more of these types of pictures

so I figured it was time to start creating a blackmail file

my little orphan Annie

We went to kid junction the other day -

and even I can't look at the pics of boy in his Robin outfit

or girl donned in the most filthy princess duds anymore

but the boy getting trapped under the babyslide ..

and getting rugburn all over his face...

it was just too classic to pass up

my angel artist girl

lovely lovely artist girl

girl & I go out to dinner for girl's night out -

and she is just a DOLL the whole time

but I take her home - and this is what we're REALLY dealing with

at least she's nice when we are out

this is a nice shot of the rock that Daddy bought me for Christmas

and again

this one.. boy was just having a rough day

and needed to go into the kitchen to have himself a little private cry with the window sill

I asked him what was wrong

he told me "It's so scary!!"

"What is so scary?"

"The turtleneck!"

so we have learned:

putting a turtleneck on the boy terrifies him

?

so nice

Happy Kids!!!!

Bleeping neighbor dog

Auntie Fran sent the kids stickers for Valentine's Day

and they could not have been happier!!!!!!!!!

Here, boy told me "I'm putting stickers on my dress!"

maybe he was confused because they were princess stickers

who knows anymore

kids on film

Luke has started to really jam out with the guitar Santa brought him

Here, you can see how he has finally mastered playing it, and is working on his moves. Now if we can get Anna to let boy enjoy his spotlight for two seconds- we'll be set.

in this video, you can see that Anna is learning to words to yet another inappropriate song

February!!!!!!!!

February is here - so I should catch up on all my missing January pics

the kids have mastered the art of zooping

and fully enjoying the zoop

the boy has a tendancy to zoop a little too much at once

Craig came over and the kids were more than happy to show him their web shooting skills

girl & I went shopping and I found a few new cutie outfits for the kids..

girl, apparently, found a few new poses

we headed out for Jaime's birthday party

and when we came home girl threw on her Snow White outfit as quick as a flash

and immediately needed a dance partner.

"Mommy, I think I need to dance. Do you mind if I ask Daddy?"

AND!

drumroll

may I HAPPILY annouce....

the reintroduction of

THE GIRL NAP

I understand that, first thing in the morning,

my bed is not the neatest, or tidiest of places in my house

but for some reason, the kids love it

and the cutest AM pictures come out of it

girl likes to pull my under-the-bed-shoe-holder out

and lounge on it and boy was happy to join

"We're sharing!"

sharing or not, I'm just happy they're sitting next to each other,

and its not in coinciding naughty-chairs
