16 months old

Laila is now 16 months old. She can now say a couple more words and she has also started saying the kids names. She loves to sing. Some of her favorite songs that she sings over and over are Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star and Ring Around the Rosies. I love hearing her sweet little voice singing throughout the house.

kindergarten fairy tale day

Presenting Aiden as Puss N Boots!

kindergarten fun

Each day after school I love looking through the boy's folders and seeing what they've done at school. This week Aiden has been learning about fairy tales and today he made this Three Little Pigs hat. Tomorrow is fairy tale day and the kids get to dress up as a character from a fairy tale. Aiden raided his grandparents costume box and tomorrow he is going to dress up as Puss in Boots. Stay tuned for more pictures!

from today...

eating lots of grapefruit, so refreshing!

playing lots of board games, including Green Eggs and Ham, nothing to exciting but still special time spent with my kids.

happy valentine's day

Brian's brother let us borrow his little boy's cupid outfit. I was going to dress up Laila but as soon as I put the wings on her she started crying. Oh well, Ava makes a cute cupid also.

heart boxes

This week I have been making these heart boxes to put treats in for the kids. They are quick and easy to make, for the template and instructions go here.

valentine's treats

,Can you believe Valentines day is already next week! It's such a fun holiday, chocolate, candy, flowers, what could be better! 

100 days

Aiden came home from school wearing this hat. It's hard to believe it's been 100 days!

15 months old

Laila is now 15 months old! Some of her newest accomplishments include learning to crawl up on the couch and back down. She is now walking everywhere and is no longer crawling, yeah!! When she wants something she'll say, "me, me, me!" Laila has also learned to say more and baby. The funniest thing she is now doing is dancing and singing along to the Hannah Montana theme song. You have to listen closely, but she is singing it as best as a 15 month old can. Ava has a little toy microphone and I've even caught her singing the song into the microphone.
