Cookies!

Today we made cookies!

I recently bought some alphabet cookie cutters and had to give them a test run.

The kids loved each having their own cookies that spelled their name.

Walks in the mall

We've been walking in the mall in the mornings, just to get some movement in our day.  I love watching Emily run!

She has such a funny booty shake!

Annie can sit up!

She still can't crawl, but she can get from scooting to sitting.  It was rather fun to watch!

Annie's 2nd Tooth!

Annie got a new tooth today!  It's the one on the bottom left.  Just thought you might want to know...

A Letter For Me?!

Jason is awesome! A little bit ago he had me write a note on a piece of paper (his handwriting is almost non-existent, since he's only 4). It said 'I love you Mommy. To Mommy. From Jason.' Then he put it in an envelope, asked me to adress the envelope ('To Mommy From Jason'). Then he ran out to the mail box, put it in the mail box and put the flag up. Then a little bit later (he waited at least 5 minutes) he told me I needed to go get the mail. When I didn't leave immediately he volunteered to go for me, put on his shoes and jacket and ran out to go get my mail for me. I got to open a surprise letter (that I wrote and addressed)! It's the thought that counts right? :)

Phone Down!

A week or so ago Jason was asking me if I could use my phone since the one had been playing with was 'poopy.' (to clarify, neither one is a 'phone', but that's what the kids call them - they are both an iPod Touch) Jason's favorite catch-all phrase is 'poopy', so I just assumed it wasn't working right or out of batteries or something. Turns out it was one of the rare times he was being literal. He had dropped it in the toilet. If I had known then what I know now, I would have just thrown it away and not tried to wash it off. Turns out, it's still toast - even with soap and water and rinsing and drying for a week. Yea. Toilet 1; Me 0 (or, more accurately, -1 since I had to touch it!!)

Thankfully he had done the worst part and pulled it out of the toilet for me. I found it on the floor on a few pieces of paper - but unfortunately it was not hard to tell where it had been...
