praise: the weather is wonderful!!!! i love these mild days, not too hot, not too cold, just right.
prayer: the kids and i have been experiencing some unpleasant physical poblems recently. i think i am going to take the kids to the doctor on tuesday. we'll see...
playfulness: lots of things have happened since my last blog. which of course, means lots of pictures as well. here it goes. =)
i was teaching landon where his nostrils were. after he "learned", he stated, "these are my ostriches!"
landon was playing with the water squirt bottle that i use for ironing. he was having fun squirting auburn with it, which she found entertaining as well. after they played for a while, i heard landon just howling with laughter. what i found was truly hilarious, but messy. he had figured out how to get the top off and had dumped the entire bottle over auburn's head. her hair and shirt were completely drenched, but she wasn't crying!
landon and i were working on a hidden pictures puzzle that came with stickers to put over the items once he found them. i was amazed when we came near the end that he eyed his sticker sheet and said "we only have three more left!" he didn't even need to count them.
auburn was given some pizza to eat. she looked at it and said "hot, hot" then blew on it. very cute.
landon decided recently that pens were for writing on himself, his car bed, and a book.
another one of landon's recent feats: dressing himself. for the most part, he does well. occasionally something ends up backwards (most often his undergarments).
auburn is a great stuffer. she loves stuffing things down the sides of the couch. i think she sometimes does it to keep toys away from landon.
landon was trying to be a helper at the store the other day. unfortunately, the box of spaghetti that he picked up was open. as a result, landon and i spent five minutes picking up 2lbs. of noodles!
while watching "mother goose goes to the zoo" landon declared, "this is kind of funky!"
auburn loves to play with daddy's shoes.
what cuties!!
baby aubrey came to visit us. she played in auburn's crib for a while. i expected auburn to be a real jellyfish, but she did very well.
no one ever taught this girl what to do with a hockey stick and puck-she figured it out.
we went to daddy's office to each lunch with him. what fun!!
the kids love to put things on their heads!! landon frequently puts pop can boxes on his head. he even emptied a pepsi box once so that he could play with it. auburn is always trying to dress herself, but the pajama pants just weren't going on!
the kids were talking on the phone to each other a few nights ago. auburn had called dave's phone with my phone and it just became one long hysterical conversation.
auburn was given a new doll from the karamons. she LOVES it!!!!
our kids are soooo crazy. auburn tried for a long time to get in the stroller. i finally set it up so that she could enjoy it. the funny thing is, i remember landon doing a lot of the same things when he was her age. i have pictures of landon trying to crawl into the same stroller. landon posed as urkel without any prompting. we laughed heartily.
this last picture is my favorite one. have a great day.
