June loves this bush. She plays in it all the time and wraps the leaves around her. One of my favorite pictures of her was when she was in this bush. Unfortunately, it was just an ipod photo and not great quality.
The kids love to snuggle and I absolutely love it. They also love our ipods and I'm not too thrilled about that part.
June in a toddler bed! This is just one of the 3 ways we tried to put her bed so she would sleep in it. She hated the transition and would fall asleep on the hard tile floor next to the door, wake up in the middle of the night crying and we'd have to fully wake her just to get into the door. Needless to say, none of us slept very well those few weeks.
Playing in the rain. It's rainy season here and for about 2 or 3 weeks straight it rained. The kids don't mind because they absolutely love it. Tim and I have sorely missed the beach. Rain water just doesn't do it for us.
Baby steps to the bath tub.
Did I mention it was rainy season?
Helping Dad make tortillas.
Playing with the hose.
Owen and the quarter he earned for the gumball machine.
They seriously can't stay out of the rain. They love it so much!
Love when they play nice.
It's about the cutest thing in the world when Owen poses and says, "Cheese!"
Both our kids have a special quilt and stuffed animal. Whenever they are having a hard day they carry one or both around the house. We were sick of being in the house this day so we chased each other around the house, blankets, animals and all.
This is our Christmas tree that is miraculously still alive. We moved it outside to see if it would get any bigger and the kids love to water it.
June loves apples but she chews them and spits it out. One day I taught her to put all her rejections in a pile of the table. I looked up to see this. Gross! At least I'm not finding trails of apple all around the house followed by a million ants.
Tantrums. We can't leave anything out on the dressers or cabinets in June's room or she will throw them or tear them when she's throwing a tantrum. Most days it takes her about 15 minutes to come out of her room after a nap and when she gets mad she'll run to her room, throw herself onto her bed and cry. Just like all the princesses do in Disney movies. Ha, ha!
Child labor. Kidding! They love to help me clean and I think it's adorable.
Knowing they were going to be taken to bed soon they both climbed into ours and pulled their best, "But we're being so cute!" faces and smiles. It totally worked. Mom and Dad are both suckers.
Playing with umbrellas. He's actually really good at the mechanics and can open and close one by himself. He takes it pretty seriously most of the time and tries to keep June from running out from under it.
Phew! And that, ladies and gentlemen, is what we've been up to.
