Beauty

Day 219 - Monkey makes me smile.  For all the times she's wild and crazy, there are moments of pure quiet that make my heart melt.  We were sitting on the couch talking about her day, I needed to capture the moment.  <3

Monkey photography

Day 216 - Monkey took a picture of me and Baby Penguin.  She's getting pretty good at it too!  Everyone has a head, we're centered in the shot and no ones blinking.  Good job Monkey!

Bundled up!

Day 214 - It was chilly, but all of us in the Daycare bundled up and went outside today!  We spent 30 minutes singing some songs and swinging on the porch swing.  Overall lots of fun.

Day 213 - Baby Penguin with attitude.  We were having fun in the daycare area and I guess I was taking too many pictures...oops!

From Nederland

Genius!

Day 209 - Today, my little 18 month old Baby Penguin picked up a lion animal and walked over and put it on the "L" circle on the zoo mat without any prompting from me.  I may have a budding genius on my hands!

We have a dresser!

Day 208 - The organizing continues.  Last night I found our dresser under a pile of crap, dusted it off and kept only the essentials.  It's so pretty!

Organizing

Day 207 - Both of the kids I watch are late.  One isn't coming today and the other will be in at 10am.  So Baby and I are organizing the house some more.  Slowly it is getting somewhere!  Today, we worked in Baby's room and finished the donation boxes.  Give what you can't use!

House warming

Day 205 - We went to a house warming today.  My "little" brother and his girlfriend bought their first house!  It was also both of their birthdays (well within a few days anyways), so we all headed over and celebrated with them.  I brought the punch - everyone loved it.

Play dough

Day 204 - I made homemade play dough today and it smells fantastic.  I added Jello to the mix to get the colours.  So I have grape, lime, lemon and cherry 'flavours'.  It turned out great actually!  I can't wait for the kids to try it out next week.

Friends

Day 202 - Baby Penguin has 2 new friends to play with all day!  Here she is with one of them watching out the window for buses and big trucks...a favorite pass time.

First Day!

Day 200 - It's official!  My daycare is now open!  Today marks the first day in full operation.  Baby was home all day, Monkey got on and off the bus from our house and we had 2 little friends over to "play" all day!  Such a wonderful day at home with my babies.  <3

Pretzels

Day 199 - I found some recipes from cooking class in JUNIOR HIGH.  Man, I am getting old.  BUT!  These pretzels were awesome, so I decided to make them again.  I gave up on the traditional pretzel shape and went for this awkward looking - yet still wonderfully yummy - stick shape.  And then I ate 3!!  This is pre-baked...I'm afraid the baked ones didn't last long enough to get their photo taken.  ;)

Happy New Year!

















Day 191 - I'm beginning the year with a bang!  Today it was Monkey's room.  With her help (well her company anyways), we rearranged her room and sorted her closet.  Looks good!  Next I tackle Baby's room.  This will be the year we officially settle into our house...it's about time too, we moved here in 2009.
