Xmas Pics 2007

One More Pic

The retouched fairy pic. We are hanging this one.... they did an antique wash to it and added fairy lights.

Sorry Sorry

Sorry it has been so long.... life caught up with us. Here are the pro pics we had taken of the kids yesterday:

The cleanest 4 year old in the world...

My daughter has decided that she wants to take showers now instead of baths - and she wants to do it by herself. She does a great job and she has showered 4 days in a row now and would take two a day if we let her. I am all for cleanliness, but she also goes in the pool every day, so this is literally the cleanest 4 year old EVER!

B's Little Gym medal day

This was the last day of session and here are some videos of him playing around in gym

Goofy Sibs

A & B goofing off today.












I had a sad moment today. B was being generally naughty and hitting me and I told him no sternly and sat him down. Well, this offended him greatly and he started crying. I went to give him a hug and snuggle and he said, "NO" and went to A and snuggled with her for comfort. So I put this down as the moment in which he really got mad at me the first time.



I had some not good parenting moments today. We all have those. I yelled too much, was very impatient.. I don't even know if they ate all of their meals today. I just threw food at them until they stopped asking me for it. But now, they are bathed and in bed dreaming sweetly. Tomorrow will be a better day. Wednesdays are good because we have structure. Breakfast, School, Lunch, Nap, Dance, Dinner, Bed.











im up n ur grll, sayin cheez

Better Late Than Never...

These are the pro shots we had done of A for her 4th birthday in April - obviously before we cut her hair off. And one bonus of B, but he was unhappy to get pics done as you can see.

A B C's

B can recognize most of his upper case A B C's. He just started one day. He started bringing us the letters from the fridge and telling us what they are. Thank you leapfrog LOL. I am going to try to take a video, but everytime he sees the camera, all he wants to say is "cheese", so it is difficult to catch it.

Faux-hawk

B with a faux hawk - forgive - it is late and it isn't as up as it was this morning.

Sleepover - Over

Storytime with A & D








Storytime for K












Sleeping peacefully. These two insisted on sleeping together in the trundle while giving K the big bed all to herself. Our belly babies are attached at the hip.





They had a great time together. K & D fit very well into our schedule and it was sad to bring them home this morning. I am sure we will do it again sometime soon.

Sleepover

A has her best friend D and his sister K sleeping over. D and A are 4 weeks apart and are the absolute best of friends. They definitely treat each other as boyfriend and girlfriend (very innocently). They were standing watching TV today and we noticed that D had his arm around her waist and it was sooo cute.

What shall be always known as the Olive Oil incident

We came into the kitchen to find our darling B sitting in the middle of the kitchen covered in olive oil. He had opened the cabinet, taken out the olive oil, UNSCREWED the cap, and shook it... ALL OVER HIMSELF, THE FLOOR, EVERYWHERE. He is the devil. I truly believe that.

The next day, he decided to play in the toilet. Chris came upon him and he was bathing himself in the toilet.

Both of these things happened in the space of FIVE minutes. He know if he is going to be the devil, he needs to do it quick before we catch him.

This one is going to give me the gray hair.

Is it wrong that the first thing I thought of with the olive oil was "where's

the camera?

My Daddy

For some reason, a lot of times when A talks to C, she calls him "My Daddy". As in, "My Daddy, what are we having for dinner?" and "What are you doing, My Daddy?". She doesn't do that with me or anyone else, but very frequently with C. It is very cute.

Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow

A has had a haircut. A short bob for summer. Her hair was getting so long and hairclips and ponytails wouldn't stay up any longer. So she has shorter hair for now.

A couple pictures

A posing on her bike (she got it for her birthday). Don't worry... she wasn't actually riding it, so that is why she doesn't have her helmet or knee pads on. The grass was too long to ride it. C just cut it yesterday and this was two days ago.










Goofy B. Always has a bruise on his head because he monkeys around so much. He badly needs a haircut, but we are trying to grow it out and cut it into a little boy cut instead of the buzz we usually do.










C and I. B and A are definitely our mini-mes.

Bite & Mup

When B wants to have some of what you are eating, he will sidle up next to you and say "Bite" or "Bite, Please" until you give him some of what you have. I remember at the same age, A would say, "Have some? It's delicious." to get some of your food.

Also, when he wants to get up out of his crib or he wants you to pick him up, he will say, "Mup! Mup!", which is a bastardization of Come up.

Juice and Cheese

When B gets up in the morning, EVERY morning, he goes to the fridge and asks for juice or sometimes he says "drink". The second thing he always asks for is cheese. So he starts his day out everyday with a drink and cheese. He is just like daddy!!

Two funnies

We ate dinner out at Charlie Browns tonight and the waiters sang "Happy Birthday" to someone at the table next to us. They didn't have the name of the person, so they just sang "Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday to you." A turned to us and asked, "Is her name Happy Birthday?" LOL.

Also, we didn't realize this, but A can count to 100. We are going to get it on video tomorrow. I will try to post it!

Singing Dancing B

On Wednesday, we went to dance like usual. A goes into class by herself and B and I wait for her to get out (1 hour class). There are stairs there and sometimes B escapes up them. And boy can he move quickly. There are three classrooms upstairs and by the time I got up there, I wasn't sure what classroom he had wandered into. I went into the other two and was pointed to the third classroom. I found him in the middle of a huge room of teenage ballerinas in their pointe shoes and the owner of the dance school singing the "eensy weensy spider" and dancing for them. I quickly snatched him up and ran downstairs mortified!

Praise for A

A had her last science class on Wednesday. Her teachers were sad to see her go, but the schedule was killing us. The head teacher took me aside and said that she just wanted to tell me how bright A was and that they hoped that she gets into their pre-school next year (we are on the waiting list for AM there) because she would be an asset to them! High praise indeed!

Reading

My son B has made me read about 50 books already today. I am trying hard to clean my living and dining rooms and he keeps wanting to be read to. We try to never turn them down for reading, so it is taking up alot of my time this morning!!

I wish A was here (she is at pre-school) because I could make her read him some books!

Swimming

A just had swim lessons and she has graduated pike and has moved up to eel!! We are so happy. This was our fourth session of pike. We are so proud of her!

4 is a challenging age....

A is at the age where she wants to be soooo independent and so adult, but she is still so little. We have had alot of tantrums today and it stems from too much activity and too little sleep. She is so stubborn! I hope that this is just a phase.

On the other hand, our little challenging boy has been such a pleasure today. He is growing out of the naughty for naughtiness sake phase and is starting to want to please us. He loves his books so much and spends so much time reading and asking us to read to him.

One of his favorite activities lately is he gets his Thomas book out that plays music and a recorder and plays along with the music and then claps and yells yay when the music is done.

Pictures as promised

Pics from A's birthday party

Funny Funny B

When B woke up this morning, he toddled into the kitchen and asked for cheese (a normal morning request from him). I obligingly gave him his cheese and when I handed it to him, I asked him, "What do you say?" trying to prompt a "thank you" from him and he looked at the cheese and looked at me and said "Drink". C burst out laughing. What a cheeky boy.

Funny aside. Last weekend we had A's birthday party... I will post pictures later. One of the moms told me that when they RSVP'd and heard our message (C's voice is on it), they didn't know my husband was English and thought that we had a butler.

Requisite Pictures

A:









She is a total clone of me, so if you can imagine her older and heavier and with darker hair, that is me.

B:









He is a clone of C, so if you can imagine him older and with less hair, that is him.

I will eventually post pics of us when we take ones that we like LOL.

A new beginning

I am starting this blog in the hopes that I will document the day to day fun of my bunnies in the hopes of remembering everything. I find as time goes on that I forget the day-to-day funnies of my bunnies.

Introducing the cast of bunnies:

My daughter A (or baby bunny) Just turned 4. Incredible, bossy, independent, precocious, caring
My son B (or little bunny): 21 months. Sweet, adventurous, busy, a little naughty LOL.
My husband C (or big bunny): British, wonderful, caring, often forgetful

And me. I am Heidi and I am a mommy and wife and I also work part-time. My job will never be mentioned on this blog. I don't want to be dooced. Suffice it to say that I love my job and love the people who I work with.
