OMG something naturally green?

Tonight for dinner, my son, the one who won't eat a damn thing unless it is yogurt, pasta, or McD's, actually ate BROCCOLI! Yes, I said BROCCOLI! I didn't even have to sneak it into anything, like I've been doing! Holy of holies! Keep your fingers crossed for me that he keeps it up!

Egg Hunt

LB had an egg hunt at school yesterday, which he proceeded to miss because he was Mr. Cranky McSpanky, and did not take a nap when he was supposed to. We thought we would have a little egg hunt here at home for him today. He loved it! He found all 12 eggs and even shared some with his little sister. Of course he ate all the jelly beans and candy corn in them. He then proceeded to run around the living room on a sugar high. Mike and I began to question our judgement. Maybe a jellybean in every other egg? Hhhhhmmmm. At least there was no major meltdown after all the candy had been consumed. Afterwards, he wanted to go on a second egg hunt. We obliged, but this time no candy was given!

BB found the first egg!

Counting eggs together. BB wanted to be in on the action!

LB was very excited about the jellybeans!

Easter Eggs

We dyed eggs this afternoon. I was helping LB put a few eggs into the bowls, when the entire egg carton fell off the table and on to the floor, scattering and cracking all but 2 of the 9 eggs left. My thoughts were echoed through my son's mouth, when he proclaimed "Oh shit!". He did have a wonderful time using his hands to dye his eggs. I wonder how long it will take to get it all off?

Her new favorite spot

BB new fav spot in the house...

I believe she just likes it because she can lick the glass, and of course see outside!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

My wee lad and lass wanted to wish all a safe and Happy St. Patty's Day. We celebrated our Irish heritage yesterday with the traditional corn beef and cabbage, which my son promptly turned his nose up at. My wee lass has no teeth yet to participate!

Let's Go Fly A Kite

March is known for its blustery days. Today was no exception. Uncle Matt bought LB a kite a few weeks ago, and this afternoon we broke it out! I don't know who taught him the word kite or even what one was. He certainly knew what you are supposed to do with one! He had the best time running with it and trying to get it up in the air, and then yelling about how it was up "too high!" BB had her first experience sitting in the grass. From her facial expressions, I don't think she cared too much for it!

Spring has sprung

We spent some time enjoying the gorgeous weather today. I finally got a picture of BB in a swing. She has got quite the belly laugh! She doesn't laugh like that very often, but when she does, holy cow! She sounds like me!

A few pictures

I've been meaning to post some of these pictures for awhile, I just haven't had the time. Imagine that, me with no time?

Body Parts

Mike and I believe in using actual words and not nicknames, to name body parts. Since he began speaking, LB has been very interested in labeling every nook and crannie on his body. We taught LB the word "penis" awhile ago. He pronounces it "pena". About a week or so ago, he was running around the house singing sounds and making up words, at least that it was I thought he was doing, until I REALLY listened to him. "Pena, pena, pppppeeeeeennnnnaaaa!" Great new song isn't it? Pretty catchy too. Mike and I just looked at each other and lost it. How proud my husband was. At least he's fairly normal. Afterall, aren't most men obsessed with their "pena's"?
