Balancing Act

Watching your children's interests grow is a very interesting thing to do.....
What do I think my daughter will be??????

I'd venture to say an engineer.
Do you see that pile of toys?
She balanced them all by herself.

A Visitor

I'm so excited, my friend Mel is coming for a visit this weekend. She's actually choosing to spend some of her here vacation here. This is the second time too, now that's what I call friendship.

Holiday options Beach, cottage, road trip or 5 days with 20 month old twins.
Hmmmm what would you choose????

See that's friendship!

I would post a nice picture of us together back in the good old days where we classified a good vacation together somewhere warm that included free drinks and a beach, but my external hard drive crashed and took some of my pictures down with it mrrrrrr.



Please don't forget to help

A Black and White Moment



A Touching Moment

Time seems to be escaping me these days. Before I even wake up in the morning it seems I'm falling into bed for the night.
So before all the things happening right now disappear into my foggy memory......

• Ethan love to put on shoes and how he does this is to bend over and tries to balance on his head maneuvering each foot into the chosen shoes.
• E will copy any word you give him, it's really cute to hear him try to articulate new words
  

• E has started talking. It's his own language, but he goes on and on. He'll read me stories or tell me and his Aunti Nikki all about his remote control car.
• E when he wants your attention will start pointing at everything so you can name it for him, today he was fascinated with a tigger book and can now point out all the characters
  
• E must be growing because he is eating every hour except for when he's asleep
• Ava must not be on a growth spurt she is refusing to eat almost everything
• A loves to draw, she also makes you draw shapes, numbers and letters for her to point out how smart she is that she knows them all
• A won't eat anything red
  
• A's favorite letters this week are C O S
  
• A has a new decorating idea her the bedroom, she thinks that all the draws should be open at all times. I don't agree, I think it makes the room look smaller
• E likes to help with chores sweeping, putting things in the garbage, putting his dishes on the counter, but doesn't want to do the vacuuming thats my job. He insists that it must be done daily however. He gets all excited, helps put all his toys away and sits on the couch to watch the big event
  
• A loves being outside she marches around like she has really important places to be
  

There are so many more, but I really should get to bed.
Ant will be home tomorrow and will be around for a little while, I'm so relived, maybe things will slow down a little :)

The Yard Sale

Rain..... weather can dampen the thrill of a yard sale or so I thought.

Boy was I proven wrong there were cars circling the block 30 mins before we started.
It kinda freaked me out people were that interested in seeing what junk we had stored in the basement for over 6 years.

But lets go back a step to the best part of having a yard sale. The pricing, yep, I got to put price tags on everything.... I thought I'd actually made headway the other day and then this...... falling off the wagon has never been so much fun.... my sister.... some wine..... we actually saw the clock tick right past that little number 3. OUCH!

Waiting for coffee in the morning was painful. Four adults and two kids wandering around productively being unproductive.
Eventually, Coffees in hand we had wiped the cobwebs of our junk and set it all out.
People came and went.
And would you believe Some people actually left empty handed
"What is my junk not good enough for you?"
Ok ok I don't want it either, but where am I going to put all...... and think of all those price tags I might never remove.

Ok here's a picture at least while you wait for me to get caught up on life :P

I will be back I promise........
