More Park Days

We made our way to Bethesda for an oil change (which will never happen again...) but while we waited we found a fun park (more pics in a previous post).
As usual Kaylee spent most her time on the swing and Alex spent a fair amount of time on the swing too. Lily chilled by the stroller eating a snack and drinking her water mostly, but she too enjoyed some time on the swing. I love my girls- they were so good! We ended up getting a special cookie that looked like an ice cream cone and we went to the bookstore to play with the train table. So much fun for one day!

Did She Just Climb That?!

Yes, yes she did. I'll give credit to kaylee as she was the first to try this giant ladder. While she didn't make it all the way, she made a really good effort. Little monkey Alex took a try and made it all the way to the top of this contraption. It was impressive! She had other moms looking at her and watching in amazement.

Our little Alex, we are do proud and amazed at your physical abilities and your seemingly nonexistent fear of danger. Please be safe, we kinda love you :) xoxo

School's Out For Summer!

It has been a few days since Greg has been out of school and we have loved it! (Lily is really happy about this) The girls love seeing him in the afternoon, it is the sweetest thing to see them running to the door to greet him :) we are all happy to enjoy a few weeks of having all under one roof before 10 pm.

WTCC

White trash just went to a whole new level here...

New Name?

I'm still thinking of a new name for the blog...any thoughts? I need a name that can grow.. 'Two for the price of one' really doesn't include our sweet Liliana. So if you have any thoughts shout them out to me via email or right here in the comments. Thanks for sticking around as I mess around with the layout and format of the blog, there is still work to be done.

In A Pickle

The girls wanted pickles, Lily too! And Alex wanted the juice :)

And There It Goes

A whole bag of frozen mixed veggies...she at the WHOLE thing! Minus the 1/4 cup I heated up for Lily. And for dessert, Lily was happy eating frozen veggies with her sister (they weren't too frozen by that point)

Was She Raised by A Cow?

I mean, really? If you can't bother with a fork at least use your hands, please?!

My Children

I put the girls to bed and left the blinds open slightly because they wanted to read...no problem. We allow them to read or entertain eachother as long as they stay in their cribs. Well today I put them down and they started to read/chat with eachother and about 10 minutes into 'naptime' I hear a loud 'click' over the monitor....they shut their door completely so I can't see what mischief they are getting into. From the sound of it--foot stomps on the ground and their conversation over the monitor. They have managed to go into their diaper drawer and have pulled out multiple diapers to find just the right one for Alex's dear 'Elmo' baby doll.

I may just try to sneak a peek :)

Under Construction

Please excuse the messnwhilemi work on setting puma new layout and design for the blog...itsntimemfor something fresh.

Just Roll With It

And that is just what they did. Lily was upset because Alex stopped the ride. Once the bug started moving again the tears went away.
Kaylee was playing on another bike at the time...she was chasing them :)

So Proud

We have many reasons to be proud in this house recently but the little one was Beaming with pride (see pic) when she pulled herself up using the chair and then moved to the cabinet drawers. She was so pleased :)

More Park Takes

Oh Me! Oh My!

Sometimes you have the best intentions to have fun and expect that you have everything together...well you just can't have everything.

We packed up snacks, drinks, toys, sunscreen, stroller, and we were ready. We were headed to Frying Pan Farm for an afternoon. We got there we sunscreened up and were about to head out to the animals...except it was super sunny and a little warm and lily has no hair, and now no hat. :(

No fear, we had a pair of diaper covers and a pony tail holder and when their powers combined-a hat was formed. And Lily seemed just happy enough :)

Kinda Love Them

A Box Of Bunny Pasta

The girls wanted bunny pasta for dinner...aka. Annie's Homegrown brand. Their logo is a bunny and they do have a box with bunny shaped pasta inside. But when the girls asked for that they knew what they wanted to eat because this was the only pasta left between the two of them!
Lily was able to snag a spoonful, but that was it. Little oinkers!

Nice View

A little morning visual stimulation.

Hi, Aunt Lauren

Aunt Lauren and her friend came to visit! We had a really good time and conned them into reading 'Pigeon Wants A Puppy'....at least 4 times :)

I Made Some Matches

Kaylee pulled out a toy that Uncle Chris and Aunt Ashley bought-they hadn't played with it in awhile because last time they tried they didn't really get it. This time they dumped the bag and started sorting right away. I turned around to watch them play and Kaylee had already had 4 matches made! It was awesome!
Greg and I are so proud of our girls! They are growing and learning by leaps and bounds-it is so wonderful to watch and be part of this experience. We are lucky parents.

Fo Daddy

I made dis bew-ful fo da-dee!

That is what kaylee told me as she showed me her beautiful artwork. She was so proud that she made something for daddy, and that it turns out so bew-ful :) Daddy and I pretty proud too!

Alex was so focused on peeling those stickers. She ended up making a few things one for the fridge, one for grandma, and another for kicks (it is now on our bathroom mirror).
The girls have liked their artwork in our bathroom-they have commented on how 'bew-ful' it is or they will say 'so pret tea'.
Love them


*side note: the foam stickers are a bit tricky for little fingers, so if you use them make sure you are available to help your wee one(s)
