Toy Trains at the Mall

Every year the train show comes to one of the local malls, it helps to support one of the charities here. This was the first year we were able to go see it.  The girls thought it was pretty neat.

~K~ was just in heaven that she got to see "Thomas" !  He really was there, but he took what seemed like forever to come around, and of coarse every kid in the place was huddled around the glass where he was.

~E~ even enjoyed watching the trains go by.  Some of them were slower than others, so we had to find the quick ones so that it would keep her interest.

Bathtime Reinvented

Here is a busy moms guide to bathtime and cleaning:

1) Fill sink with dinner dishes

2) Put baby in other side of sink

3) Proceed to wash all the above at once

OK forget the dishes, just play with the baby!

Beautiful December Day

What do you do when its December and still in the 70's?

Play outside, of coarse.

Sample a few fallen leaves.

Enjoy the beautiful sunshine.

And hang Christmas lights.

~E~ and the Lights

I got this idea from a picture I saw of another baby playing with the lights and I figured I had limited opportunity to do this with ~E~ since next year she would be 21 months old and probably not too into this.  So this was our Christmas light experiment.  Some pictures I'm not to fond of, but others I'm just giddy over.

Christmas Cards?

We went for a photo playdate to try to get some nice winter poses, but as usual my girls didn't see what the big fuss was about.

They faught with each other,

Ate strawberries,

And were just plain silly, but thats life with kids, and ya just gotta love it!

Here are my favorites though:

Flowers and Football

Who said girls can't play football?

Baby in the Sink

Ohhh its so hard trying to get ready in the morning!
