Really?

This was not what I had in mind when I bought Miss T a toy box. I thought... Ooooh. A nice big box to store all of her toys in to keep my living room nice and tidy. Of course, Talullah just thinks it's an additional toy. All other toys out, and Talullah goes in.

Such a mess...

Josh and Emily gave us two huge crab, and I was so excited I could hardly wait until dinner. When Nick got home, I put them on our plates and we dug in. Splattered in ocean muck and smelling of the sea, we quickly decided that we're more 'imitation' crab kind of folk. All that biting and picking and flinging crab guts all over the kitchen was a work out.

Skills

I wish I could take all the credit, but Dallass did the hardest parts. Together we made this new car seat cover so Baby B can have her own little princess seat while we drive. I'm making a matching blanket, too. ;)

Like father, like daughter

Awhile back...

Here are some cute pics I had on my phone.
*The day we watched Mr. P. He was SUCH a good boy!
*Precious moments. I caught Miss T reading all by herself in the nursery.
*Baby B not so happy about bath time.
*Berlyn, the very good sleeper!
*Me and T smiling for the camera.

Potty training time!!!

Miss T has been watching the Elmo potty training video. It must be working, because while she hasn't showed interest in using the potty chair herself, she loves practicing with her babies. She put her baby in the bumbo seat and said "pshshshshsh". She ran and grabbed the wipes out of her cupboard and....

Walk This Way

We went for a walk on the wild side through the Avenue of the Giants for our weekly Family Fun Day. Talullah was so excited about being outdoors, I think she ran the entire walk through the woods. I forgot the Ergo at home, so Nick and I took turns cuddling Berlyn in our arms to keep her warm. We finished off our adventure with a picnic and then headed home to let Miss T take her nap. More wonderful memories created.

Nighty Night

I enjoyed the most fabulous morning last week. Surprisingly, I woke up at 6:30 and both girls continued their dream state until 7:30! I showered by myself and enjoyed some quiet time, enjoying a full cup of coffee while it was still hot. Very, very rare.

Rain or shine

Rain or shine, Talullah just loves to be outdoors. The sun broke for just a short while, so I let her run out in the grass. As soon as she got through the gate, her clothes were coming off. She headed straight for the pool and hopped in without hesitation.

Pumpkins, Pumpkins everywhere!

We finally made it to the pumpkin patch. Unfortunately, by the time we got there, we were told they were closing in ten minutes. We rushed through the field to pick out pumpkins and then we dashed through the corn maze. I'm not much for Halloween, but boy do I love the Fall! The cold, brisk nights. The bold colors of gourds and pinecones that decorate my house. Hot coffee... the woodstove burning. What a wonderful time of year.

Hard working man

Nick just finished the deck off of our bedroom, and I love it. There's just a few details left, but the hard part is complete.
