Hannah is walking!

Funny how she is wearing the same pajamas as the last post. Thank you to the fashionista Amy!

The Sunday Sillies!

Sunday's are LONG days at our house. Church does not start until 2. When we get to church, I wonder why I am there chasing children around, not able to take in one ounce of any lesson. Regardless, I realize that is where I am supposed to be and so I do it. This last Sunday Weston was very sick with the croup. Due to the fact that we do not have insurance this month, I am avoiding nursery in hopes to keep my kids somewhat healthy. So, at home we stayed........all day. When evening came, Daddy plugged in his ipod and let the music ring throughout the house. He loves to dance with Weston and Hannah, and they love to dance with Daddy. We were jamming out having a great time! I took some video, but it ended up sideways. I figured no one wanted to turn their computer sideways to watch. I also took some silly pictures of us, so that is what you get. Just a little Sunday silliness!

Tis the Season.....

for Charlie Brown. I love the old Peanuts movies around the Holiday's. Weston has become enthralled with most of the Pixar/Disney movies. He just could not get into the movies with the traditional animation. But, a few weeks ago, Weston pulled out our three disc set of Charlie Brown and asked to watch it. To my surprise, he could not take his eyes from the movie. If you have not seen these movies in a while, you should. They bring back some good childhood memories. But, the best part is seeing Charlie Brown get a rock at every door when he goes trick-or-treating!

Painting

So, I realize that I said I would post pictures of my painting jobs quite some time ago. Actually, it was not just me that painted. Andrea and Tra' were the real reason that I got this done! They painted almost the whole time they were here to visit! Thank you to you both! I don't know why I just never got around to posting pictures. I took some pictures of Weston's room and the half bath that I painted. I painted Hannah's room a really soft yellow that I love, but I have not done anything else in her room. I thought it was too boring to post.....maybe later when I get it more decorated. Weston's still needs some work. I really want to make some cute throw pillows for his bed and find a cheap side table to paint. He also needs a bed skirt of some kind. And, please ignore the frame that has no pictures in it. I will put some in soon! Hope you like it!

It's hard being 2

Weston is going through a phase....the two-year-old phase. Most of the time he is very loving and happy, but the rest is not so happy. He seems to want everything that Hannah touches, even if it is a dirty diaper. He thinks he needs to play with everything she is playing with. He also gets really upset if something is not freakin' (he means working, but that is what his version sounds like). And he is really starting to tease Caden back. I keep telling Caden that he needs to be careful. Weston will be bigger than him someday. But this is what happens when you have an older brother that likes to tease you while you are sleeping on the couch (you get a pot handcuffed to your arm).

As you can see, I forced Caden to be in the picture. He was hiding in between the ottoman and the couch, so I simply placed my foot on his stomach to hold him down. He was reaching for the pillow to hide himself.....but, no such luck!

Weston likes to give kisses and he likes getting kisses, most of the time. He has decided if he doesn't like the kiss you gave him, he will spit on his hand and rub it over the kiss. I'm not sure where he picked that up. But, today is what I am most puzzled about. We were getting ready to go to the grocery store when Weston headed into the bathroom and turned on the water in the sink. He started crying/screaming for me to help him. When I entered the bathroom I could see that he was trying to climb into the sink. I thought he just wanted to wash his hands better. But, as I picked him up, he lowered his head down into the water. He told me he wanted his hair wet. After he wet his hair, I went to brush his hair and he did not like that. He insisted that he re-wet his hair after the brush touched it. So, back into the bathroom we went, and into the sink went his head. I finally got him out in the car and this is how he went to the store.

It's hard being 2.

The Kids

Michael is in Washington this weekend shooting commercials. He has been working the last three weekends, so figuring out what to do with the kids has been fun. There is only so many times I can listen to Weston watch Monsters Inc. and Blue's Clues. I decided that we should go on a walk to the park before bed time and play in the "indirect" sunlight to avoid heat stroke.

Weston has made it a habit of riding Caden's scooter whenever we go on walks. I think he looks so cute/funny when he rides it. He is so good at it that it looks unnatural......that is the only way to put it. The video is a little crazy, due to me walking while taking it. We made it through the day and the house is quiet with the dishwasher running...and I am ready to plunk down on my bed and flip the television on for a little bit.
