It’s been a few weeks since I’ve played along…I’ve missed it! 🙂

These pictures were taken on Monday. I’d just gotten a package (the contents of my Giveaway!) that was secured with long, crumpled pieces of packing paper. We had much fun decorating them.

Yucky Firsts

Some other things that happened recently…

Maggie’s first nosebleed was a few nights ago. It woke her up out of a sound sleep and scared us – but she was a trooper and just sat with us until it stopped.

Logan was stung by a wasp a two Sundays ago…inside the house! We’re not sure where the thing came from, but it was crawling on Logan’s leg when I noticed it…a few seconds too late. The poor guy still has a red spot on his leg where it got him.

Reminder!

Don’t forget to enter the Yoplait yogurt Get Active giveaway! The Deadline to enter is March 30th.

I debated over posting this (thinking of his teen-aged years), but it’s just too cute – and I have no problem with kids playing dress-up 🙂

The Dress-Up Box

You can’t see it, but there are fireman, pirate, cow boy and other “boy” outfits in there as well – the dresses just “frill” over them LOL And I figure if Maggie can dress in those, there’s no reason Burke can’t try on the dresses.

And a video to go along with it.

This was taken on Thanksgiving of 2003 – and just happens to show my love of potatoes.

My Dad makes shaped cakes. It all started when my sister, Meghan, was little. Was the first one a fish? I can’t remember. I know he’s done a tennis racket and ball, the Red Sox socks, a shoe, and many others.

For the twins’ past two birthdays, he’s outdone himself:

2nd Birthday Elmo

3rd Birthday Lightnin McQueen

He’ll be doing one for them this year too 🙂

This edition is brought to you by Burke (with Maggie’s Camera).

There were lots of giggles when Burke was trying to take pictures of Maggie jumping on the couch:

This week, it’s Play-dough fun time. Logan was really enjoying himself, and Maggie was right there to help him out (not that Logan wanted any help…).

What IS this stuff?

I have the rolling pin!

Burke, what are you doing?

.

Oh...that's what.

Don’t get me wrong…there are a whole bunch that are black, or really fuzzy cuz she moved the camera while taking the picture…there are a lot of butt and chest shots as well. (What do you expect when that’s pretty much what she actually sees…)

Burke uses the camera as well, and I’m SUPER impressed with his artistic eye. I may have to dedicate a post to Burke’s creativity, but for now, here are a few he took:

And…Christmas night, the adults got into the Porron (an Italian wine decanter that has a spout on it…so you can pour it directly into your mouth) – fast becoming a Christmas tradition at our house. Remember that whole “you can add scenes to pictures” thing? Needless to say, there were a few pictures taken:

Aunt Meghan and Grandpa had an entire session at the end of the table that no one was aware of until massive giggles were heard…
