Munchkins

Here's a picture of the girls from one particularly happy morning this week! They were both in excellent moods. Since the weather has been so nice, we've been moving outdoors. We have discovered a new love of our front porch. Although it is small, it is in the shade for a majority of the day. The girls LOVE to crawl/walk around on it, pick up tree debris (leaves, etc.), try and eat said debris, hear mom say "yucky", try to mimic the yucky face, and then we throw it over the edge together. They also love practicing their climbing on the steps - they go up and down, back and forth 40+ times each time we are out there!


After I got the girls up from their nap on Friday, we had a good look out the window. I couldn't convince them that it was time to get down! Their nap was some much needed sleep - because they were cranky!!! I met a friend for lunch at Red Robin (girls in tow) and normally the girls excel in dining out experiences because there is so much to watch. This time, Addie did not excel, she SCREAMED, threw herself on the floor, threw everything else on the floor, etc.

Ah, the art of public humiliation - sometimes it is not so fun to be a parent! Not five minutes before Addie started her antics, an older gentleman came over and said that he and his wife noticed my children and wanted to tell me that they were some of the most beautiful and well-behaved children they had ever seen. I was very glad he said this on his way out - so he didn't have to see "their dark sides"! : )


This is Jasmine's new trick! We did not teach her this, all we can gather is that she sees her dad do yoga most mornings and thought she'd try and pose or two! She also loves to be held upside down, so this is the closest she can get on her own. It is very funny to look over and see her little rump up in the air!


You can thank me for not putting this picture first! Otherwise you'd have to look at it everytime you checked to see if I've posted anything else new. : ) I was asking Alex questions the other night and taking a picture of his facial expression. I'll let you guess which one is, "What do you think of your mother-in-law?"
