Friday’s Fotos and Kiddo Conversations
Posted on April 9, 2010 by Nancy
The things kids say can really crack you up. And sometimes, they come up with their own special word that actually fits perfectly.
Burke
Apparently Burke has a “sneak-ret” hiding place for things. I need to try to get him to say that on video…it’s so cute!
Maggie
When we were in Vermont, Maggie had a very deep conversation with Grandpa. I wasn’t there, but I hear that the gist of it is she asked about his mom and where she was (Heaven). Normally when we talk about Heaven with her (that’s where Mike’s mom is as well), she gets very teary and starts worrying about HER mom. While talking with Grandpa, she just wanted the facts: Do you miss her? Do you still talk with her? Stuff like that. At some point the conversation turned to “There are no cell phones in Heaven.” LOL!
Logan
I was talking with Logan about playing at the park. I knew he’d run into one of our neighbors and I was asking how that went. He was all excited and told me he was playing with Audrey going around and around. So I asked if he was chasing Audrey or if Audrey was chasing him. He started talking, stopped suddenly, and then said, “I sayin’ it wrong!” (I still don’t know who was doing the chasing LOL!)
Last night, Logan wanted to sleep in the rocking chair (the night before it was the floor…), so I said sure since that’s where Burke and Maggie spent the first few many months of sleeping when we switched to big kid beds for them. Mike and I were watching TV downstairs when we heard “THUMP!” and then nothing. Logan had “switched” to the floor from the rocking chair a few nights ago as well, so I wasn’t too worried. When I went in to check on him, this is what I found.
I can't believe he's still asleep!
How did he not wake up??
Crazy kid. 🙂

Burke Style
Posted on April 8, 2010 by Nancy
Remember Maggie’s Style? And the start of Burke’s Style? The rest of Burke’s Cars accouterments (finally) came in the other day and I had a chance to put it all up!
Cars!
Burke was speechless when he first saw it. (Of course, it could have been that he just wanted to get back to playing with his Gameboy 😛 )
(26 seconds)
We all went back downstairs and Burke stayed up to admire it for a good 10 minutes. It was too cute. 🙂

Way Back When-esday
Posted on April 7, 2010 by Nancy
Cheryl over at Twinfatuation hosts this one. Go on over to see who else is playing – and join in too!
These pictures were taken on April 8, 2006.
The kids worked together to figure out how to get around the gates we had put up…shortly after these pictures were taken, Mike used string and eyelets to secure the gate to the walls 🙂

The Easter Bunny Was VERY Generous
Posted on April 6, 2010 by Nancy
I’m finding it really hard to not spoil my kids. (I’ve written about this before…)
We got them each a “large” present for their Easter basket and then some a lot of small gifts as well. And Nana and Grandpa have gifts ready. And Aunt Sharon and Uncle Jason contribute. (Aunt Cathy does too if she heads to Vermont as well, she just happened to be out of town this year.) And they usually receive gifts from Granny Frani and cards (with cash) from Pop Pop and Mop Mop too.
Is it over-the-top? Ya, Probably. Am I okay with it? Yes, I am. For now. 🙂
We changed Logan’s crib into a toddler bed, so he needed toddler bedding! The Easter Bunny brought Mickey Mouse sheets, a pillow case, and comforter. (And the sheets have that same half-fitted top sheet!! Still genius.)
Logan's Big Boy Bed
Burke has been asking for Mac (from Disney’s Cars) to round out his collection.
Burke and Mac
And Maggie has been asking for Ruby Red Slippers.

(she can’t stop dancing LOL!)
And proof that Logan actually slept in his bed last night! (After a half hour of angry sobbing on Daddy’s lap because Mommy wouldn’t come back until he asked for me nicely….Mommy didn’t come back.)
Logan in his new bed
He woke up a little bit early this morning, so Mike went in and asked if he wanted to come into Mommy and Daddy’s room or go back to sleep. He chose to go back to sleep! (*phew*) And then when he woke up the second time, he was just sitting up in bed smiling. Here’s to hoping tonight’s bed time process goes a wee bit better…

Makes My Monday: Flowers From My Kids
Posted on April 5, 2010 by Nancy
We have pretty purpley-blue flowers that grow on our lawn. When we got home from Vermont today, the kids started picking them for me 🙂
(They know that flowers on the lawn are fair game since Daddy will just mow them down at some point. All other flowers are just for looking!)
Flowers from my kids (grown on our lawn!) Make My Monday 🙂
Cheryl over at Twinfatuation hosts this one. Head on over to see what else makes people’s Mondays (there are always some really good ones!)

Aunt Meghan made egg-shaped Rice Krispies treats…and let the kids dip them in chocolate and then sprinkles. YUM!
