Thursday-Trains in the house Take 2

Jake used these tracks, now Livvie. I set her up some tracks and she kept busy for a better part of an hour!

Wednesday-Why The Sad Face?

This is what you get when you don't give a 2 yr old what you want-Drama face...

A Day At The Park...

Jake at the top of the "pirate ship"


Liv watching Jake on the tire swing

Jake ran and jumped on the swing =)

They both actually looked at the same time!!

I cheated again! These are from yesterday. It's been beautiful here the last couple of days, I couldn't resist a trip to the park. I had to pry Liv off the slide. She and Jake were on the "pirate ship" (aka the climbing structure lol)

Who Would've Thought... (Funny Video-pause the music before you hit play)

That my little fire cracker would be afraid of bugs??? LOL This is a new thing. Not sure where it came from, but anything she finds on the floor that moves, that she thinks can possibly be a bug, she's freaking out about it. If you hear her say "OH NO!" with a perplexed look on her face, you can bet she's found something that resembles a bug. She freaked out the other day because she thought a piece of lint was a bug! So, tonight there was a spider crawling around on the floor. She wouldn't go near it. She even wanted the dog to eat it LOL If you listen close, you can hear her say at the end that the bug is scaring her LOL

You'll be happy to know the spider met it's demise and is currently forever sleeping in our garbage can (where she instructed me to put it several times after she couldn't convince the dog to eat it LOL)

A Brag About My Baby!

I got an email from Jake's teacher today. Apparently my boy set a great example for the new kid in class today (while the other boys showed what NOT to do lol) I am so proud of Jake for not going with the flow and actually doing the right thing (he tends to go with whoever is being the craziest lol) Good Job, Baby!!!

Sunday-A View From A Window...

Boy I'm going to miss this when our house sells...

Saturday-Send Good Growing Thoughts To My Poor Lil Plant

Ok, before you think I'm completely crazy (or rather, even more crazy than I already am) let me give you a little back story on this plant. When I had Jake, my mother in law (Thanks Mom!) gave me a basket with 6 plants in it. I lovingly put all the plants into their own separate pots and nurtured them till they all died, 1 by 1-EXCEPT THIS ONE! (this one even managed to make the trip across country!)

So, I had it in one of those planters that you pour the water in the bottom, and the string supposedly brings the water to the plant. Well, it was working for a long time, then, just in the past couple of weeks, I've noticed my poor plant dying (and before you ask, YES, I was watering it!!). You can't really tell by this picture below, but it's all dry and breaking off (and out of the little stock holes) Here it is before I cleaned her up:

and this is my poor plant now, after giving her new soil, a trim, and watering her from the top. Isn't she pathetic?

So, going strictly on sentimental value, I need good growing thoughts/prayers. I was practically in tears trimming the plant up =( I hate being sentimental over stupid things LOL
