Where are my babies?

Glasses Everywhere

The things that happen to you when you're the second child.

We're getting ready for the sunshine! We had snow again this morning on the ground...but thankfully is gone this afternoon.

This winter...

we have tried to be creative to stay entertained. Some things worked better than others. The first idea was a flop. We made bird cookies out of old bread pieces, spread peanut butter on them, and sprinkled seeds on top. You were supposed to use actual bird seed, but do we have any of that laying around? No. Hence the sesame seeds.

We took them outside to hang on our trees. We waited and watched. We saw no birds or squirrels for days. We did, however, see one big brown dog jumping up and trying to get a bird cookie every time he was outside. That same brown dog also came back inside salivating everywhere and leaving drool spots all over the floor. I'm pretty sure Titus somehow managed to eat all of them and leave a mess on our floor. Successful entertainment? Questionable.

Next we tried a gingerbread house. Michael's was clearancing them out in January for $1. Seemed like $1 well spent, as Adde enjoyed it, AND especially since the majority of this activity happened while I was gone at youth group. Way to entertain your girls, daddy!

Fun and games

All is fun and games until you get your head whammed into the door frame by your big sister. Totally an accident, but totally a meltdown for both of them. I think Adde was afraid she would get a story taken away and Ella was just surprised and hurt. I guessing toughening up is what sisters do.

Moving on...

to the highchair!! Seems to work better than being on the table in the Bumbo. The rest of the table contents are at risk in that situtation. Although Adde cracks up whenever Eleanor grabs something on the table she is not supposed to. Makes for entertaining meals.

Buddies

Eleanor and her friend Michael who is 9 days younger than her. They just kept passing their toys back and forth (or stealing from each other). As long as some toy was in reach, both were happy. I look forward to seeing these two play together as they grow up:)

Salon Sarah Lutheran

We now have a stylist living at our house - Sarah Lutheran. Adde refers to herself as Sarah Lutheran on a routine basis - when she's cutting hair, being Teddy's mommy, etc. The name is a combination of her babysitter and hair stylist, and the church we attend BSF. Sarah Lutheran has lived at our house for a few months now.

Who loves squash?

How We Roll

unfortunately still into April.

Can they get any cuter?

I don't think so:)

Evidence

There is evidence that Adde has been around. Can you find it?

Crash Cage

I referred to this set up of pillows as Eleanor's crash cage. Someone else thought they really needed a crash cage too. I still use the rear portion of her crash cage as falling over backwards is somewhat of a regular occurance (sometimes by Ella's doing, sometimes by Adde's).
