Cheezy Annie

Annie was pulling some faces for Emily the other day. Here’s a couple she caught on camera:

My Future’s So Bright…

The twins discovered their sunglasses the other day and we couldn’t help put snap a few pictures of the silliness that ensued.

Intervention?

She claims she can stop any time she wants, but the evidence suggests differently…

Daddy’s Shoes

Annie and Jack are only barely a year old, but they definitely know what they like. Annie seems to be a bit more energetic than Jack at this point, but they are both very opinionated. One particular case in point… the other day Annie decided she wanted to wear my running shoes that I left in the front room. She spent a good 5 minutes trying to get them on by herself and after a couple near faceplants, I decided to give her a hand. Once she got them on, she stood there proud as can be. She even tried to take a step, but quickly found that they wouldn’t stick to her feet. Silly Girl.

Chocolate!

Emily — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 06:24:15 +0000

On Sunday we made chocolate pudding for a treat. Jack and Annie had a messy taste. Jack loved it! He kept raising his arms and throwing his head back. He was so excited he just didn’t know how to act! Until it was gone….then he was sad.

Time To Mow…

Mike — Sun, 15 Jun 2008 22:29:48 +0000

So last year when we put down the lawn in the front yard, we had a bit left over and laid it down the east side of the house in the back yard. The problem is that the rest of the back yard isn’t done yet so this one little strip gets neglected a bit both in terms of being watered (I can’t water it with the sprinklers or it would turn the rest of the back yard into a mud bog) or in terms of mowing it (because I forget).

Anyway… yesterday we were out in the back yard getting it prepped so that we can get the rest of the lawn in and the girls decided to play in the strip of grass along the east side of the house. I wandered over to see what they were doing and saw that they had made “beds” in the foot long grass. They were having fun playing in the severely overgrown lawn and doing their normal “posing” thing, but it made me realize that I should really try to remember to mow back there.

You’re Doing It Wrong!

The other day Jack was having a bit of a hard time with the saucer. He’s spent enough time in it that he knows how it works, but he apparently thought he could get in from the bottom. The pictures below show the result of that attempt. He wasn’t too happy with the results.

Strawberry season

Emily — Sat, 19 Apr 2008 03:07:48 +0000

Today I bought my first strawberries of the season. They look so yummy. I had to wait all day to cut them up and get them ready for all the delicious strawberry treats. Finally after all the kids were in bed I got out my favorite strawberry knife and started to cut. They were big and most were pretty funny looking. But as I got to the bottom of the pile I found the most perfect strawberry. It looked like a drawing. It’s color was perfect. The shape was just right. And the seeds were all evenly distributed! I just couldn’t cut it up so I saved it to show Mike. He, however, did not appreciate it as much as I did. But he did help me take a picture so that those who are cutting up strawberries of there own may share in my excitement! Happy eating.

Fractured Fairy Tales

Mike — Mon, 07 Apr 2008 22:52:54 +0000

Zach pointed me to a top 20 list over on on Woot! today and it reminded me of the Fractured Fairy Tales bits on that old Moose & Squirrel show. It was a list of 20 lame fairy tales and although most of them were pretty stupid, there were a few stand outs that I thought I’d share:

The Seven Ugly Stepsisters And Their Other Sister Who Looked Reasonably Cute In The Right Lighting
Thumbelina II: The Thumbening
Shaft in Narnia
Mr. Tapeworm’s Wild Ride
The Tale of Ned Van Winkle, Who Only Overslept By Half An Hour, But On The Morning Of An Important Job Interview
Sleeping Nice-Personality

There are a few other good ones, but the rest are just dumb. If you’re interested, you can see the entire list HERE.

Jack’s “Peaches” Face

Mike — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 05:07:35 +0000

Tonight Jack got peaches for dinner. He seemed to enjoy them well enough, but each bite resulted in a hilarious “sour face”. We were all laughing hysterically and Jack thought he was a star. Win, win.
