the birthday girl!!!

Girlie girl's big cuatro!!
started things off with a little pre-birthday shopping (for mommy)
Girl is in LOVE with Hollister

and sushi

Girl walked around all day wearing her 'birthday-girl' shirt
her birthday crown
and shades
and LOVED that everyone happy-birthday'ed her


boy rocked some shades & told everyone he was 2


when it was time for boy to snooze
girl & I headed over for mani-pedis
I cried the entire time that my baby girl was getting so grown up







and this was all the girl did for the rest of the day....
gazed at her nails
because it was her birthday -
girl drove us everywhere

but boy got to rock the shades

outback baby


Cake baby!


and everyone had NUMEROUS turns blowing out the candles


boy is learning how to blow out candles.....

Fishies, Grammies, Paparazzi & Popcorn Babies

Girl & I had gone shopping - and I just could not get enough of her face..
so I had to take 400 pictures of her
she's delicious



"Mommy, please. I'm on the phone"






FISHING
For some silly reason, boy had a lot of hand-in-pocket poses this day


and every pic I took of girl & poppy -
looks like her head is 2 inches away from his hiney


strike 2


and even though this was an awesome picture of the three...
I will always remember it as the pic of poppy fighting with the endless tangles of fishing line


boy was in charge of the worms
and girl came over to supervise

waiting nicely for fish


the nice waiting didn't last long
before too long, kids were in the water and splashing any hopes of fish away


but doing together so nicely




so we moved on



there was a man talking on his phone at the complete other end of the bridge
the kids were SOOOOO curious about him - they just insisted on investigating the poor guy
once we got to him - the quickly lost interest
and decided to run -FULL SPEED - in flipflops - the length of the uber-splinter bridge
heart-attack-central


boy strikes his best Peter Parker/Spiderman / search for crime pose

and soon realized how tired he really was


yet another fish girl was terrified of

Onto the trampoline!!!
can't get a nice pic of a kid on a trampoline -
you just can't
there's either panties -
a blur of kid -
a mid-air funnyface
I'm just taking what I can get


lots of collisions


I don't know if girl just gave in & waited for him to get away from her to start playing again-
or if she decided to turn it into a pose?
?who knows?

Hmmm testing 123

Mayday Mayday

somewhere this week I saw someone had written "New Jersey is the only place you can experience 4 different seasons in one week"
sadly true
who has 2 thumbs and is done dealing with stupid weather?!
THIS GIRL

from thick sweaters - to sundresses & shorts
kids were picking lots & lots of flowers for me








rude awakening - the flowers weren't for me..
but we went upto the main house on a delivery mission, where the kiddies were happily rewarded with cookies
YAY COOKIES!


my darling princess was posing for a photo when.....


the discovery was made - - the boy has hit a new stage in the 2's
climbing

and jumping


I've seen boy make this face 100 times a day -
and it's never been so perfectly documented in actual side-by-side compairson
"So I got THAT going for me!"


what in the world kind of princess is this!?
double horn action - that's what kind!

double see-saw action at the swan park


does it get any better?
she wore pom-pom hair
he wore spiderman
and they sat soooooooooo nicely
right before boy broke away & jumped off the third stair & yelled
"Whoa! That was a big jump!"

....and the moment was over


Dan is trying to instill a few important life lessons ...
little things like: don't coat the sponge with stones before you wash the car
and/or keep the sponge AWAY from the stones!!




once they figure out it's work -
they leave the scene


funny faces are funny


the shirt of understatement


ferris wheel is still a big hit after all these years!


I scream
you scream
we all scream "DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING!"


my boys


and when everyone does finally roll out of bed... it's to snuggle on the couch
