Escape From Lock Down

I know, I know, he's two and a half, what did I expect?
That he'd stay in lock down forever?
I was hoping that's all.
So nap times these days are a little more hectic, Ava being in a big girl bed usually just plays. Felling bad for Ethan she will fill up his crib with as may toys as it will hold till the boy falls asleep. Sometimes passing out herself sometimes not. Well today as I tried for a little time for myself(you know to do dishes and such)..... a really cute little boy's head stuck out of the bedroom door. It was covered with the biggest proudest smile that any boy's face could hold. After two tries to return him to prison Ethan too has been transfered to a Big Boy bed let the sleeping games begin....

The Volume Seems To Be Up

I'm not sure whether it was a baby in the house for the last couple of days that made me notice or not, but the volume level in this house has gone up...... way up. Up enough actually that I would have guessed that there were more then 2 children running around room to room. My house has become one big play room there are toys from one end to the other and I couldn't see the floor in their room after nap time was over. SO I'm thinking I need a make over, not so much a life make over, but definitely a house make over.... oh just make it a new house about twice the size with a play room and a hot tub..... a girl can dream can't she?

Pockets and Pants

Ethan was full of fun little tricks today.
He for the first time got his own pants on, well more like he put on a pare of Ava's pants..... and well.... he put them on backwards, oh and they were stinky out of the dirty laundry basket, but the real point is that he put on pants ALL BY HIM SELF.
He also discovered the coolness of pockets. He wandered around the house with is hands in his sweater pockets, feeling like the coolest thing since........ well that took way to long to come up with something remotely amusing so you can fill in the blank, share if you will in the comments I'd love a giggle or two.

MIA

I see you have all been checking in and well I seem to have vanished into cyberspace. Well we're still here day to day things keep happening, but the winter blahs seem to have gotten the best of me. Even the foosball table does not seem to be working the magic it promised.
I have no new pictures, I haven't even picked up my camera in two weeks.
My Friend Mel is coming for a visit this week, that will shake me up a bit and get my creative juices flowing again ( I guess it only needs to be one flavor of juice really hmmmmm I hope it's orange that's what I'm craving right now)

The Bambino's are doing great and not suffering from the winter blahs. They spend a lot of their days laughing. Oh to find eating fruit funny again :P

Thank you to the anonymous commenter on the last post, I might have kept hiding :)

I think we are in the clear, everyone is happy and playing this morning. I'm crossing my fingers that I missed this bout of sickness. So far so good :)

Well they have discovered hide and seek this morning. It's really cute, there is only one hiding spot, the closet, but that just doesn't seem to be getting old any time soon.

Ethan went all day without a diaper, only 2 accidents :)

Ava has a big girl bed. Well really it's her crib with one side off for now. Nap time went well :) She felt bad for Ethan so filled his crib up with toys so things were even. She is always looking out for her brother.

Everyone is on the Mend

We spent a wonderful evening together, a little dora and some stories. What I loved most was curling up in bed with my Bambinos. We lay there for a while in the dark talking about our day. I understood very little, but it was an in depth conversation. They are growing into such amazing people.

The Flu

Or at least that's what I think has hit us..... I'm hoping that were are through the worst of it. I haven't had much time for cute little stories, but I have some gross ones that I'm sure you'll appreciate my not sharing with you. So please bare with me until I'm not doing more laundry then number of items in the house...... Maybe I'll think of the cute story while I wash all the towels in the house again
