More on Wiliam

William loves to cut things. Give him a pair of scissors and some paper and he will cut it until there is nothing left but a pile of itty bitty scraps of paper.  

The day this picture was taken he put all his scraps of paper in the trash when he was done. What a good little boy!

Here is another picture taken that day. He kept his little hood on most the day.

I just love those baby blues!

I heart faces-jump for joy!

I have been a follower of I heart faces for a few months, but have never entered the contests. When I saw the theme for this week though, I had to enter this picture! This kid was getting some serious air time!

Jump on over to see some great pics of people jumping for joy!

A book shared and a party given.

Robert and William sat in this chair looking at cookbooks together while I worked on the computer for about 30 minutes. What a wonderful way to pass the time!

And then later, we got out the play-dough and they "cooked up" all the good things they saw in the cookbooks and threw a surprise birthday party...for ME!!!! And I didn't even know it was my birthday so it was truly a surprise. I love being a mom!

My very own watermark

 

Do you see it? I love it! And I did it all by myself....well, almost all by myself. I had a great tutorial from this website. My new photography blog will be coming soon...hopefully. I still have a lot to figure out. 

And isn't this little girl adorable! I babysat for a friend and of course had to take some pictures while they were playing. By the way, this beauty's mom is who told me about the website, thanks Liz!

Emerging Chefs

One of the girls favorite things to do is cook and I have been trying to give them a little more freedom in the kitchen. I admit this is not easy for me. I hate the mess and it is sometimes so hard to not step in and do it myself, but like I said, I am trying.

Last weekend they wanted to make dinner and since I didn't have anything planned yet, I took a deep breath and gave them the okay. And then, for the most part, I stayed out of the kitchen. (It is easier if I don't watch.)

 

  

They decided on meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and fruit salad. And becasue I was giving them free reign they also made kool-aid to drink (yuck...I can't stand that stuff!!) and orange floats for desert.

They put the meatloaf in these cute little individual serving size pans, which usually just sit in the back of the cupboard feeling unloved and neglected.

 

With the exception of the kool-aid (which everyone else liked just fine), I thought everything turned out delish!  Great job girls!

And here is Robert, watching and waiting and hoping that somehow, someway his big sisters would find something, anything for him to help with.

 

And they did.  What good sisters they are.

My Fruity Baby

 

William LOVES fruit...all kinds. We have yet to find one that he won't eat. His favorite right now is oranges! Now if I could only get him to try a vegetable!

More Disney Pics

Here are the pictures from day 2 of our trip...

We love Mickey!

 

I was the lucky one that got to go with the kids on the teacups. I'm not sure how, but somehow I was still able to walk afterwards!

  

Grandma, Lahna, William on the Jungle Cruise

  

William driving an autotopia car was one of the funniest things I have ever seen. It was a wild ride!

  

Grandma and Lahna in their car.

  

Robert loved the Big Thunder Railroad, and kept his hands in the air the entire time!

  

It was so much fun to have Grandma and Grandpa with us! Thanks for coming, we hope you had as much fun as we did!
