My Kids.

   I haven't updated my blog in foooorrreeevver...well since I went back to work last May anyways. I find that blogging is one of the first things to fall off "my beam" when I get busy and overwhelmed. This is too bad because I love looking back over the blog and reading stories and seeing how the kids have grown! So here are some quick little tidbits from over the last couple of days:

Peanut's first selfie!!

   Peanut has just discovered my phone and all of the cool things that it can do. I have downloaded some apps on it that she can play (Peppa Pig anyone?). Its been great for those Dr. Office trips, long car rides, etc. It hasn't been so great for just general life when she thinks that my phone is actually her phone and she uses it to take selfies and send them to my manager at the bank via text message! Whoops!

 
   Peanut's imagination is taking full flight. She is constantly playing and creating new story-lines. Her favorite thing to play is house. She loves playing with her babies and being their 'Mommy'. Unfortunately her babies spend a lot of time "in trouble". I asked her if this baby was potty training and she looked at me incredulously. "No! That baby is obviously in time-out Mommy. He said "no!" to me and then called another baby "bad". That is NOT okay, so he is in time-out forever.". First of all, its not like Peanut spends that much time getting in trouble so I don't know why its her favorite story-line. Second of all, when she is in time-out we have a 3 minute max...not forever (although, maybe to her it feels like forever!).

   Not to be forgotten: My Little Man! He is becoming SUCH a toddler lately. He is not my baby anymore :(. He walks around, talks a lot (or garbles), plays well independently, and has the most infectious giggle. He also absolutely adores his Da-da. If he finds one of of Mark's hats he will wear it for the rest of the day. Its so big on him...but oh-so-adorable! He also always puts it on backwards - our little punk!!
