Daddy's Shades

The kids love to find dad's sunglasses and wear them. Allyson has her favorite Dora top on and Caden has his "grumpy" shirt on - I'm not sure why he calls it that - but every time they see the shirt, that is what they call it.
They also both dressed themselves in this picture.

I wanted to comment on Allyson's hair. She doesn't mind if I put "pretties" in her hair, but she doesn't like to leave them in - so this is the result.

Wild Turkey

Look what the kids and I saw out our kitchen window while eating lunch.

Dreams

This is something that the kids did at daycare. I thought it was really cute!

Pictures taken

Caden and Allyson had their pictures taken at Van Maanen's Picture Place. They turned out really cute. You can click here

Enjoy!

Practice Time

My honey shooting bow and arrow. This is one thing that he enjoys and doesn't get to do very often. He was able to get a little practice in this evening before it got dark.

Snow Fishing

Today was a really nice day. The kids got to play outside at daycare, and then again when we got home. They found sticks and pretended to "snow fish". It was a contest to see who could get the biggest fishy. They had fun - that's what counts.

Big Boy Underwear

Caden is working on going to the bathroom in the big potty. He is making progress. He enjoys wearing big boy underwear when we are at home. The only thing is he thinks that the character picture needs to be in the front - now if you ask me, whoever designed boys underwear should have thought of this. Girls have the picture in the front, why don't the boys? The big picture is on the back. As of now, I don't have the heart to tell him differently and if I try to correct him, he takes it off and puts it on the "right" way.

Items of value (in a 3 yr old's eyes)

Awhile back, Allyson was putting some money in her piggy bank, and it fell on the floor and broke, so she hasn't had a piggy bank for some time. I was just putting the $$ in a bowl for her, but the kids decided to put all of the money in Caden's pig.
Tonight, we were separating it and as I was emptying out the pig, some Chuck E. Cheese tickets came out. Caden told me that he put them in his pig. (He must have thought they were valuable)
I don't have the heart to tell him that they are not - so we will put them back in there for now. I don't think the bank would find any humor in that - so will have to remember to take them out before we bring the money in.

Random pics

When Caden has a hood on his shrit, he thinks that is his hat for going outside with his coat on.

Allyson loves to wear her kitty hat. It is her favorite.

Snuggled

These are some pics I took when the kids were napping.
They are at the age where they think they don't need a nap in the afternoon. Mom only fights with them for so long to lay down, and then I figure if they were tired, they would have fallen asleep.
They will typically get tired later in the afternoon (4:30 ish) if they don't nap earlier in the day.
This day, they both wanted to watch tv and were upset with each other for being on the couch and not having room for the other one.
I gave them both a pillow and put my blanket over them (they think it is a treat to use mom or dad's blanket) and let them watch tv. I was busy with other things and pretty soon I looked and found this.
