Just Can’t Help It!

Today was beautiful! Nice little breeze… sunshine… it was awesome!      

So we went for a walk! We went around one block once where Joe and Connor got distracted by a house that was being built so Maggie and I kept walking. My little walk soon turned into a jog! I’ve never had that feeling before… it felt SO good! I am SO hoping that this little bit of excitement could be the start of a beautiful new obsession!

Maggie got to ride in the wagon and BOY did she love it! At first she had a death grip on the sides. Her cute little fingers were white from holding on so tight. But she soon loosened her grip, leaned back against the blanket and enjoyed the ride!

GO SPIDEY GO! Connor is just starting to WANT to learn how to take off on his bike by himself. I’ve been teaching him how to put the outside pedal up, get up against the curb and then push off with both feet. He as very excited today and kept asking me to help him get it set just right. Hallelujah! ;)

Joe’s such a great dad. I am so blessed to have him in my life. These are trying times in our lives, but moments like these are priceless.

Squishy squishy cheeks are the greatest! Thank goodness we are all over our bout of pneumonia… I am SO ready for SPRING!!!

TOOFER!

This morning, Haylie got in the shower and started freaking out because one of her bottom teeth was SERIOUSLY loose. Both the middle bottom teeth are loose, but one is on the verge of falling out. After a lot of bribing and threats, I gave up trying to get her to let me pull it out. She’s deathly afraid that it will hurt. Plus, she wanted to show her teacher and classmates how loose it is… If you ask me, it’s nasty. I don’t remember ever being grossed out by teeth hanging by a thread.

Sorry- don’t mind the giant bite of cookie she just took..

Tooth-less update to follow! ;)

Done.

Camera?

Directions: Make a list of words that rhyme with cat.

So funny!

12 Minutes of Game

Haylie is our “anything electronic fan.” She loves video games, computer games, listening to music on her MP3 player, movies, movies, movies…  

Recently, we had to put a limit on her “play time.” It was looking like it was going to be getting out of hand, REALLY soon. So Joe and I agreed that she should have a time limit every day… At the same time, he said 10 minutes and I said 15. So we agreed that she could have 12 minutes of computer game time. Luckily, she’s young enough that 12 minutes seems like a lot.   

As you can see, the concentration is intense! Notice her form… the way she is arching her back, I’m sure, helps her move faster. And the whitish color of her right index finger tells me that she is SERIOUS about Sonic the Hedgehog.

And here. She wanted me to capture the “blueness” of her candy stained mouth, but couldn’t bring herself from looking away from the computer. Now that takes talent. ;)

Love my Hays.

Feeling a little blue…

Most Fridays Haylie brings home some sort of candy that her bus driver gives her. Today it was one of those long Laffy Taffy sticks and she was gracious ;) enough to share with Connor. I don’t know how they did it, but it got all over.  

If you couldn’t tell from the way he is trying to hide the fact that he’s sticking his tongue out at me, he was mad at me here because I chased him all around the living room trying to get a picture of his blue lips. 

Just Mag cuz she’s cute.

For the sake of being able to say I keep up with my blog…

After a gentle nudge from my amazing SIL, Rachel, I decided I needed to update this blog. However, until I can come up with a super cool new post, here are a couple of pictures of the Magster to hold you over. ;)  

Isn’t she cute? I sure think so.
