Cheese Thief

So this is how my 2 year old looks after I've told her she's had enough of the cheese. (complete with tears) Billi really likes to eat cheese!
This is how she looks when she's snuck behind my back, climbed up on a stool grabbed the block of cheese off the cutting board and taken a few bites.
Its serious business being a cheese thief. She's learned everything she's she's knows from Dumbkin the cat, "Original Cheese Thief"
Being two can be very satisfying.
Until your 5 year old sister comes along!

Day two couch and movies

Sickness and movie-athon go hand and hand. We've spent two day moping around not feeling too great but I think were on the mend. Hopefully tomorrow we'll actually go out and do something. We bathed tonight in anticipation of just that. Now if the sun would just come out and my trampoline would magically fix itself, I could start my spring.

Nature Vs. Trampoline

Dead tree down. These are the photos after Mikell and I got most of the tree remains off our trampoline. Not too much damage was done but jumping has been temporarily suspended. It happened yesterday morning. I think I'll just have to order one part. Right now I'm more worried about the fact that I'm about to leave to get in a pool with 10 pre-schoolers. I unknowingly volunteered for joshi's class on swim lesson day ;0)

30 fingers painting

Spring cleaning is going VERY slowing. I organized the kids craft closet this week. So we used up the finger paint that Joshi got when she was a baby. Joshi asked me to join in. And finger painting really is fun. Once you get over the fact that you hands are submerged in a slimey substance, its quite freeing. So note: to any family members that may need to commit me some day, choose a facility with art therapy.

Face Painting

I really don't let Billi do nearly as many creative things as I did with Joshi. I don't have as much time or as much tolerance for mess. When Joshi was a pre-school this week I got out the face paint. I figured I owed it to Billi to do a project just for her. It became obvious quickly that to obtain maximum fun she had to have total creative control. She painted my face little too.

Here's the dialogue to this jam session. " NO! Billi. Don't Step on

that pedal. Thats mine."

Joshi's Diamonds

Well really they're cubic zirconias. But none the less, Joshi braved the piercing gun. (actually she cried hysterically) It definitely felt like a rite of passage. Now for the 3 times a day ritual cleaning and turning.

Easter Festivities

Here are the girls dressed in their Easter dresses getting ready for church. And Joshi showing the bug carnival the Easter bunny left her. We'll have lots of fun catching unsuspecting insects this spring.

Easter morning Mikel had a bunch of kids over to have an Easter egg hunt in their back yard. They all had a blast. They have the perfect backyard for an egg hunt. It was like an Easter jungle. Then we got to come to their house that night for dinner. They really make it feel like we have family in Welches.



Saturdays Egg hunt at the golf course was a little chilly. Billi was a little apprehensive. Elwood took Joshi to her age groups hunt. He said she totally froze up. She was a little upset she didn't get too many eggs. But then after everyone got a prize.

Trampoline Fun

The trampoline was just as much fun as I remember. We had to move some heavy rocks and dig a little to actually fit the 15ft trampoline in. Elwood says this is going to be like a babysitter in a cage.

Coloring Easter Eggs

We had fun dying Easter eggs today. Our little friends Bailey, Caleb, and Helen came over. Then after the eggs we got to test out the trampoline. I'll upload those pics next.
