Don't you love it when

your words come back at you? I know that when I get frustrated at the dogs, I often say, "I've had it dogs, hush!". Today as the UPS truck went by our house (which for some reason disrupts the dogs terribly), Caroline yelled, "that is IT dogs. I've had it. HUSH!". She even had my hand gestures down pat...this is some scary stuff! She has also snapped at her bunny and put bunny in time out after I have done it to her. If I sound HALF as bad to Caroline as she does when she is acting like me, I need to reform my ways pronto!

No "anti-dentites" in this family!*

Sam and Emma LOVE their toothbrushes, but not having their teeth brushed by me.

*Do you remember that episode of Seinfeld?

This is so nice...

I love feeding the babies and holding them while they eat, but sometimes this is also very nice...Emma has just started holding her own bottle and it is a wonderful chance for me to get a few things done!

Brayden

Caroline has a great class of friends and Brayden is one of her favorites. I think they are both a little on the more quiet side and really enjoy each other's company. He is kind and gentle with her and I know she adores him. I love that we have met so many great families that we see both in school and out and here are some cute pictures of some get-togethers with Brayden last week. Caroline getting a rainbow painted on her face at the Mardi Gras celebration at school.

are they not too cute?

what hams!

Playdough

Play dough is a big hit at our house! We leave it on the table in Tupperware and she gets to play with it whenever she wants to. My friend Stephanie mentioned that she used her garlic press with her son when they played with playdough, so I dug ours out...big fun!
I'd like to note that it was right after dinner when these were taken, hence the messy face from eating and hair leftover from nap time :)

Love these faces

Nap time is great...a well needed break from the swirl of happy chaos, but I also love getting them up from their naps because these are thehappy faces that greet me as I open the doors!

Happy Birthday Gramps!

My grandfather's birthday is today and the kids helped me to make a "card" for him! Because my grandparents love pictures of the children so much, we figured that they would like this better than anything that Hallmark had (they are as biased about the kids as much as I am!). Thanks Amy for the inspiration :)
