Merry Christmas And Happy New Year!

We had a very merry Christmas!

We visited with Grandpa and Grandma, Papa Bill and Grandma Linda, and the GGs! And we looked good doing it.

Poop On The Potty And "Thinkin' About Alligators"

Mark this day on your calenders! It is a day of great rejoicing, of dancing and singing, of two candies instead of one! Today we went poop on the potty (and yes, I know she will want to kill me for this in, like, 7 years.)! It was text book. She came up to Daddy, said she wanted to go but couldn't. She had set up the step-stool, put the seat up on the potty, but she couldn't get the button on her pants (the rest of her pants are snaps). Daddy unbuttoned and away she went. It was a lot like Mardi Gras in our house this morning.

When we get out of bed after being tucked in at night, we usually hide behind the door until we make a noise that gives us away. When Daddy comes in, the following conversation ensues:

What are you doing?

'Nae just thinking.

Thinking about what?

Thinking 'bout alligators.

Why can't you think about alligators in bed?

'Nae just thinking 'bout alligators on the floor. Watch out!

Then we go into brief descriptions of the merits of "Big" alligators (bite you!) versus "Baby" alligators (so cute). Daddy still doesn't understand why she can't think about alligators in bed.

We were also a complete stinker for Aunty Jen last week when she watched us. We are "sad 'bout jen"

This weekend she busted in on Daddy in the bathroom and said "Hello, little fella!"
We actually have movies, but they are too dark to see. Sorry. Mommy and Daddy are working some strange hours for Christmas, so there are very few pictures as well. Just have to deal with me talking.

Happy Thanksgiving!

We have had a very exciting week? couple weeks? Anyway, Happy Thanksgiving! This week we went to Thanksgiving dinner at the GG's house, we visited with Grandma and Grandpa, we went on a carousel (4 times!), got our hand stepped on at the play area in the mall and set up our Christmas lights and tree!

Thanksgiving at the GG's was as elegant as ever.
Shame about them Lions though....

Foster is sitting up by himself now. Not that he gets much of a chance when everybody is around!

Danae has a new favorite toy (this week). See these trains? Hours of entertainment.

Daddy and Danae went to the mall and went on the carousel. Loved it so much it got a free ride (because we were crying so hard when we got off the first ride, the lady running it gave us a pity ride!).

We also put up our Christmas tree. Would have been a good idea to get an actual picture of the tree though, huh?

You Tube is down right now, but I will get a movie up later. For real this time. I mean it. Really.

Play-Doh And Snow

We don't have a whole lot of pictures from the last couple weeks. Mommy and Daddy have been working alot, so we have been hanging out at the GG's house and Nama has even done bed-time with us! We have been playing Play-Doh almost everyday (strike that: every day) and this week it finally snowed.

Grandma gave us Beauty and the Beast and we are loving it (except the part where Beast gets mad at Belle for visiting the west wing).

Our new thing is "catching snow" where we go outside and pick up snow. Daddy still doesn't know where the "catching"part comes in.

That's all for now! Daddy will try to squeeze a movie in later.

It's A Boy! Happy Birthday Kaine and Happy Pauloween

That's right! Uncle Pauly says his name should be Spike Awesome, so he could always say his middle name was Awesome. Mommy frowned on this. So we're thinking Blake Ivan. Just in case there was any doubt about his masculine nature...

Happy Birthday Kainers!

Aunty Jen made a wonderful Colts cake! Pay no attention to the finger prints in the "U". We had nothing to do with that.

Is this a good idea or bad idea for bedtime? Remember: the tent is also her favorite blanket, "Mit".

Uncle Pauly came for Halloween! He was a really good sport! He even read us a bedtime story!

Trick or Treating was great! It was a little touch-and-go there for a while, ("NO wion, no costume") but once we saw the other trick or treaters, we were in. We even went a second time, another block over!

Nama, Uncle Pauly and Mommy went all out on the Halloween party! There was not a single surface that wasn't spooky in some way!
