Fun Before Bedtime

It gets pretty crazy around here just before bedtime. I'm not sure why, but I think it's common for many children... they need to go a little mental before they settle in for the rest of the night. Well, at least that's what it's like for my kids anyway! Our after supper/before bedtime hours are usually spent running from room to room, climbing on stuff, reading stories, playing with toys, yelling and screaming, and of course throwing the occasional fit. Good stuff! Here are some photos of some pre-sleepytime hijinks.

Oh, and you'll notice a common theme as well... Abby is a big fan of nudity. It's next to impossible to keep her clothed in the evenings, and I've given up fighting! She's happy, I'm happy, everybody wins. Besides, with a bum that cute, how could you not show it off?!

Strolling

We were out and about all this week enjoying the few remaining snow-free days of 2009. It's been absolutely gorgeous here, and I am dreading the impending winter weather! The girls love their daily walks, and I think as long as we get all bundled up they can continue to happen no matter what Mother Nature throws our way. I hope we're laying the foundation for them grow up to be the type of kids who would rather run and play outside than spend countless hours in front of the tv.

p.s.-- I've said it before and I'll say it again: I LOVE MY STROLLER!

This Bum's For You

I don't have much to say about this set of photos.... other than yes, I know she's a bit of a wierdo. I have an unnerving feeling that she's going to be one of those kids that refuses to let anyone help her get dressed and she'll be the kid in class who's wearing her bathing suit, leggings, and rubber boots. Not looking forward to those school photos...! Gotta lover her unique creative spirit though, right?!

And no, I don't know what she was digging for in her butt. But it kept her busy for quite some time! As long as she's content, I try not to ask too many questions. And I'm pretty sure I would be creeped out by some of the answers as well.

Breakfast Shennanigans

Wondering what's going on here? She's letting me know "I'm two". Just in case I forgot.

We were a bit bored this morning so I decided to whip out the camera and have a bit of fun with the girls at breakfast time! I definitely have a couple of goofballs on my hands here, good times. They had fun playing with hats, poking at eachother, and making goofy faces. Enjoy!
