My look-a-like kids

 

It is amazing to me how alike these two look. Look at those noses and blue eyes. Where the heck did they come from?

Blah. Blah. Blah

So I haven't really had anything to post about lately. I do have some pictures though. These are Spencer showing off his new outfits from my sister. How cute is he?



Mark's brother lent us his son's ride on train. The girls have been having a blast riding it around in circles. Excuse the lack of pants in the pictures.


Finally this weekend, I got around to painting the pink room blue. It turned out really cute. Now all I have to do is put up the chair rail, shelves, and decorate. Wonder how long that will take me?

Trip to Seattle

I just got back from visiting my sister in Seattle. What a great trip! It was only me and Spencer. My mom flew down to watch the girls while I was gone. Let's just say they didn't really miss me at all. My mom is the greatest.
Anyway, I had a great week with Season and her family. She has a wonderful and talented husband--Gary...


He is working on painting and assembling these figures for a game called Warhammer.


Season has the cutest little ones. Enlee is 2 1/2,

Garret is 6 in a few days

and Mackenzie is 8.


When we weren't eating, sleeping or chatting, we were super busy sewing, shopping and making baby announcements. I had a great time.

I survived!!!

One of my goals for the new year was to get Sarah potty trained. Well, I did it and I really deserve a trophy or something. That was not easy to do! It took all last week and my house smells like pee but it's over. She is doing so well that I don't even know when she has to go anymore. She just takes herself whenever and keeps her pants dry. I am very proud of her.

 

 

 

Details. Details.

Avery received this stuffed animal from my sister for a birthday several years ago. She named him Bagheera after the black panther on the jungle book. Well Bagheera has been one of her favorite "babies" ever since. That poor thing has been through a lot. His arm as been ripped. He's been covered in bandaids. His fur has worn away in several spots. She's taken him everywhere and he sleeps in her bed every night. My sister let me know that she bought another black cat for her daughter at the same time she bought for mine and since her daughter never played with it, she was sending it to me as a backup. Great! So I put the second Bagheera away for an emergency situation. Well, Avery came up to Mark a few nights ago crying. Her Bagheera had been ripped again. Mark told her he would fix it then went downstairs and grabbed the other cat. When he gave it to her, the first thing she noticed was that his bandaids were gone. Then, she noticed that his tummy had fur on it again. She noticed that his tag that she had cut off had grown back. Also, she was frustrated that his nose was in the wrong place. I had no idea she paid so much attention to that old cat. She seems to be fine with him now but what do you think? Do they really look that much different?

"You know Duty (doodie)--POO?"

I was watching this episode of "Friends" last night and cracked up at Chandler's inability to resist making a poo joke. It was FUNNY.

What is not funny is real poo. Poo that you have to clean up on clothing, carpet, the toilet and your little girl's body. Sarah has not been doing too bad with the potty training but today, we had a messy poo accident. I will spare you all the details but it was not FUNNY.
