just some sweet everyday things...

We watched little Caroline for our buddies who were due with baby #2 any day so they could have one last date before things.....well changed forever. :)

the girls made cards for the little new baby

Chloe found a good seat, I think the cats tipped her off that this looked like a good place to check out traffic




we hit the post Halloween sales for next year.....wigs were really cheap.

Just Chloe "helping" me in the kitchen

I realize I can't really fuss at the kids to "please put your shoes up", when mommy and daddy set such a wonderful example. Abigail lovingly refers to this as being "fantastic mommy". She can't pronounce sarcastic so she calls it fantastic. I refuse to correct her or help her with it cause it's too darn cute. It's let me know just how much I use sarcasm from day to day when she tells me so often now since she's learned to recognize it. And if Abigail notices it she WILL tell you! There have been some real cute sweet things the kids have done this week that I just have to put on paper before I forget. First of all I have to remember something Abigail's teachers let me know about when I picked her up from school today. She has the typical obsession with the Disney princesses that haunts many families of small girls. Today evidently she took her imagination to a new level of role play. Evidently she performed, very loudly and enthusiastically the ballad from Aladdin today on the playground, "A Whole New World" from inside a little playhouse. Much to the great amusement of her very smitten teachers she finished with grand style and evidently so caught up in the moment and moved with the music that she grabbed poor little Isaiah, her classmate and kissed him right on the cheek at the end. I informed the teachers as they laughed out loud that we aren't doing very well to teach her how to play hard to get as a young girl. That's just my Bit. The whole world is a face for her to kiss on. Her innocence and passion knows no bounds.
Now Chloe has been equally precious this week. She's catching onto so much more each day it's so fun to watch her learn and grow. She is anxious to participate in as much as her little baby body and mind will allow her to. Every time I've put her to bed this week, after I give her her bedtime bottle I try to get her to burp. I always have before I put her down. Well now lately when she hears the sound of my hand slapping against her back she associates it with clapping and starts smiling and clapping her hands like she's done something good. It's so cute! I get so tickled I can' hardly keep burping her. I stop to laugh , she smiles and when I start up again to burp her she starts to clap again. Love this kid! When I put her in her crib she has a purple dinosaur I got her for her birthday. I like to make it talk to get her to be ok w/ being put down. She giggles so sweetly and keeps handing it back to me every time I put it down w/ a big gummy smile on her face. Also I love to smooch and chew on her toes by pulling her feet through the rails of her crib. She loves this and will roll all over the place to find me and shove her feet through the rails so I keep doing it.
These kids are a never ending source of entertainment to Brian and me. We never tire of watching and listening to what they come up with next. I guess that's just the wonderful joy that is parenthood. :)
