Today, while playing outside in their sandbox. J told Daddy "We're making Tomato Chips!". So freaking cute!

Bandaids

J calls Band-aids "Ban Bans"
O calls them "Han Bades"
Wonder where that came from?
Today J and O were in the living room playing. O followed me into the kitchen and sat on the rug, playing w/ her bracelets. J said "O-yivia, where are you?" and O said, under her breath "I'm right HERE!" They crack me up.

Grandpa Ralph

Today, while Mommy slept, Daddy took J&O to the store and bought a football and a soccer ball ("kick ball"). They had a great time enjoying the fabulous weather. Life is good!!!! On a more somber note, Grandpa Ralph passed away on Thursday. He was 90yrs old and died in his recliner at home. He was a good man. He will be missed!!!

Spring has Sprung!

We are sooooo enjoying the warm weather! And we just love having our yard to play in. it has made a great deal maker for naps "If you go and take a good nap, we can play outside when you wake up!" Works like a charm!! So far anyway. The time change is great also. They have been sleeping until 7am again (after shifting to a 6am wakeup for the past few weeks). Anyway, things are great here with the girls. We're just waiting for summer!

I just wanted to jot down a few of the funny things that J&O have been saying lately...

J to O : "Look at me. (O looks) Cough for me (O coughs). Thank you" Such a parrot, as we have been asking her to do that all week!

J: "Hey! Mommy!"

J: "Hey! Dad!" instead of daddy

both, whenever they crawl anywhere: "I crawl like Ellinor!" Ellinor knows how to walk now.

O, coloring with a yellow marker : "Sunny Day! Sunny Day!" (as in, the theme from Sesame st).

O, when I opened the car door and sun got in her eyes "Sunny Day!" very sad.

"I wanna ride it." O when she saw uncle Mike's quad in the garage. And then the next day, after explaining to her why she could NOT ride the quad...

" I wanna ride it. Too dangris (dangerous)".

First Visit to the ER

Jocelyn fell and bonked her head on the corner of the coffee table yesterday and it left a very small, yet open cut on her forehead. So off to the ER we went. 5hours, and a little glue later, she is as good as new! She was a perfect angel. The doctors and nurses kept saying how she was the "perfect little patient". She didn't cry or complain (even though she missed lunch and wasn't allowed to eat or drink anything in case she needed stitches). She spent a good 1/2 hour putting scraps of paper towel in the garbage can. She then spent another half hour or so putting fake lotion on her toy pig. We had a great Christmas, the girls really cleaned up! They had lots of fun playing with their cousins, aunts, uncles and grandparents. We are now in our new house! Lots of room to play now! So things here are good!
