Boy

don't ask where girl is - I don't know

Just a little taste of what's new with the boy these days...

he's now a depants rockstar

...and still gung-ho Spiderman

if you can understand Lukeaneese, he's actually gotten pretty close to the actual song..

if not, I'll translate: "Spiderman, spiderman - your neighbor spiderman. Spins a web, in his eyes. spidermen, spidermen, spidermen etc."

Gymclastics!

So the kids finished up their fall/winter gym class - and had a little show...

most of the pics speak for themselves

girl gets her award - very fancy

the group

and one last song...

sitting with Daddy -waiting for boy's class to get started

boy's award

the group...

play time

boy is learning how to smile - rather than just saying CHEESE

Anna works on her pedismile

spiderman

both kids had their final day of gymnastics class (gymclastics)

and got to put on a little show... girl was AWESOME

more to follow..

but an awesome evening often calls for an awesome crash

we couldn't wake the little girl up

Boy's newest love is spiderman

and kung fu

I'm a little upset that Spiderman has brought so much violence into our house - but it replaced boy's desire to be a ballerina - so that's a good thing

We survived half of the first month..

...but not by much!

Luke is doing his best TommyBoy impression...

"It doesn't hurt here... or here... but right here!"

We watched the Wizard of Oz -

and I impressed girl with my extensive shoe collection

and girl is working on her own shoe collection
Auntie Gail got her a pair of SUPER cool boots for Christmas

Alas - girl's feet grew too much between the time she bought them - and the time Anna got them

who knew!

so these are the replacements... quite fab

Boy got a playdoh MANicure

Still in the jammies, but not without a princess outfit, I stuck the kids in front of a pile playdoh so I could get an early start on dinner....

they didn't seem to mind (8 am playdoh session was SUCH a hit!)

ok - I know this is a little long... and boy is a little distracted by the bowl of popcorn ...

this video shows HOW MANY times we have read 'Where the Wild Things Are' to the boy. As you can tell by my mediocre coaching... he knows the book better than I do. NOW - by all means- don't follow along with the book, because I have forgotten so many parts .. but I'm pretty proud of the kid. He's quite hot stuff!

and just because its so inappropriate and funny

Auntie Avery, Uncle Matt & Baby Jack!

So here's the story - Auntie Avery, Uncle Matt and Baby Jack got the kids the most delicious goodies for Christmas... to be able to send the vids to Avery immediately, I had to make a bunch of teeny tiny clips of videos

SO! here we go - from start to finish!
