Isaac got a pool for his birthday from Grandpa and Jenn. It is the perfect size to fit off to the side in the yard and perfect for them to play in. We have only had one day where they have had a chance to play in it yet as it is still pretty chilly around here these days. And, um, if you notice, yes, the water is only about to their ankles...LOL... mommy has issues with water, but I am working on it! :)
It has been raining....and raining....and raining.... My two toddlers have been going stir crazy, as has their mama, so we did a new craft.
This one was super easy, and a ton of fun!! We used pool noodles to cut up and make flowers! Mommy got a new vase of flowers out of the deal and the kids had fun. Oh, the best part....super easy set-up and clean up! :)
Practically every day the children say something that just either melts my heart, or literally has me laughing out loud. I try to find ways to remember them later....like I might post them as facebook status updates or call a grandparent to share with them. But I want to get better at actually recording my "favs". So I thought I'd do a better job of doing that here on the blog.
A couple of my favs from yesterday and today......
~Kids were riding around in the "car cart" at Safeway while I was shopping.... and they changed their names to "Honk Honk" and "Fonk Fonk" for the entire time we were in the store. That is what they called themselves, and if I wanted them to answer me, that is what I had to call them.
~Walking across the parking lot at WalMart, Jazmine asked me what we were getting inside the store. I jokingly asked her if she wanted to trade Isaac in for a new model since he was driving her crazy. She says "No, I love my Buddy". I said, well then how about we just get you ANOTHER brother so you have TWO brothers! She said "Mommy, that would drive me crazy. I could never handle TWO brothers, when there is only one of me!"
~Eavesdropping on the children yesterday, I heard Jazmine tell Isaac that "Mommy says all our dreams can come true so keep dreaming. She also says we can be whatever we want to be when we grow up."
~I woke up before the sun came up today and had the living room light on. By the time Isaac woke up and came downstairs, it was light out, but I had forgetten to turn the lamp off. First thing he says to me this morning is "Mommy, I'm turning this light off. You're wasting 'lectricity." Then later he had to tell on his sister... "Mommy, sissy isn't eating her food. That's wasting food and there are starving children."
I LOVE LOVE LOVE these kids!! They are kind, sensitive, smart, and HILARIOUS! :)
Wow! How time flies! My "baby" just turned 3 on Saturday. I have no idea how it happened. One day I am miserably huge and pregnant, eating all the pineapple in the world trying to induce labor, the next I am cuddling the happiest baby in the entire world, the next day we are in full on "Terrible 2's" (by the age of 1..LOL) and now he is Mr. Independent who can't wait to go to school and hardly ever needs Mommy's help for anything any more. :( It breaks my heart he is growing so fast, but it warms me to my very soul the young boy he is turning into. Here are a few pictures from his big day....
