the backdoor

Rob and I were talking about the backdoor where in the end, I said that we didn’t have the money, at this point, to fix the problem.

Julie piped in saying, “I have money upstairs, you want me to go get it?”

So sweet, honey, but piggy bank money won’t fix this problem! I love you girl!

A relaxing holiday

We had lots of time over the Thanksgiving holiday to goof off around the house. We played Mario Kart, Just Dance Kids (borrowed it from Mrs. Antionette), read library books, built LEGOS, and watched The Wizard of Oz. We even dug out the marble racing towers. The marble toy kept the kids busy for at least 40 minutes---just the two of them were upstairs! Awesome (for me and Daddy watching tv on the couch!)

Haircuts

Sweet girl asked where her brother was when I picked her up, but not him. I responded that the boys went somewhere before coming home. As soon as we walked in the door, she noticed that Jesse had gotten his hair cut. She cried and pretty much kept talking/crying about it, until she talked me into taking her to get one!

She sat so still up there on her princess throne—(just a booster seat at Hair Cuttery) and smiled from ear to ear.

Mommy, I traced my foot!

These are the little things that we may forget! Too precious!

Let's potty!

We now have a pink and green potty for Julie's doll house!

A couple days later, Julie finished her plunger/potty candy (I think she ended up spilling the contents of the potty). Anywho, Jesse finished his two plunger lollipops, but still had potty contents remaining. He sweetly asked "Julie, since you finished your potty, can I have your lollipop?"

I find this humor rather disgusting! :)

Candyland

Candyland has become a night time ritual when Mommy puts Julie to bed. We usually play with Jesse’s travel size one if we are in the bed. However, if there is plenty of time and we are just playing for fun, we use the normal sized one. We don’t follow the game directions to a “T” but we are pretty close. And Julie is so nice to take turns being the red character if we are using the travel-sized game. And sometimes she allows Mommy be “line-leader” (play first). Mommy is actually enjoying this laid back game.

Yay, for candy!

I think I love this store just as much as they do!
