I wanna go to China...

Hayden informed me this morning she wants to go to China and see wear Kai-Lan is from.  My question is why can't she ask to go see where Dora is from in Mexico?  We don't even watch Ni Hao Kai-Lan very often but for some reason this morning she decided that China is where she wanted to go.  That girl cracks me up usually on a daily basis.

Twins!

That is what Hayden keeps telling me she wants.  Twin boy and girl.  She wants me to have two babies in my belly as she would say.  She has been drawing pictures of me with what she says is two babies in my belly.  I would be fine with twins as long as one was a boy.  I think I would have them tie my tubes while they where in there getting the babies out and I would call it quites in the baby making department for good.  I set a goal for myself that once I lost a certain amount of weight we would start trying for a third baby.  I have about 30 more pounds left to go before I reach that goal.  I will admit I am having baby fever but I will be strong and wait till I reach my goal.  God only knows if it will be twins.

Let's try this again...

I am going to attempt this thing again in hopes of keeping it up to date. I just looked back over some of the old posts and was amazed at how little they where. I have been away from this for far to long. To many memories lost I fear. My main reason for this is to give them something to look back on and to keep family up to date on the cute everyday things that they do. I became comfortable with Facebook and forgot about this Blog which is dedicated for just my children. I might try and post cute stories from the past months I've missed but more importantly I hope to just keep up with the present.

Spice paints her nails

Spice was coloring on the fridge with a dry erase marker and decided she wanted pretty nails like Momma.

I caught her in the act of coloring her nails blue with the dry erase marker.

So proud of her pretty nails.

Close up of the tongue because it cracks me up.

You can tell she is concentrating by the fact her tongue is stinking out. She gets this from her father he does it when concentrating hard on a subject.

She is concentrating very hard. Wanting them to look pretty.

Such a girly girl already.

She decided she needed to do the other hand.

She is proud of her work. Showing them off while checking them out herself.

Our Little Monkey

Spice has been a climber since before she could walk so why was I surprised to see her climb up the ladder of her bunk bed. She sleeps on the bottom bunk but I have found that she likes to hide things up on the top bunk. Spice gets so excited when her KiKi spends the night now because she sleeps in her room. I don't know how fun this is for Kaitlyn but she is a good sport. I even find KiKi sleeping in the bottom bunk with Spice some mornings.

We have removed all of the baby furniture out of Spices room and have chosen to donate it to a family in need. I was explaining all this to Spice when I had a bright idea of my own. I explained that we where helping out a Mommy who could not buy things for her own little baby and asked if she would like to give the baby her paci. She let me know that she was sad for the baby who had nothing and wanted to help. I made sure to explain exactly what this meant to give her paci's away. I told her this meant no more paci's at night night when she went to bed. She seem to understand which surprised me. I told her to gather up all her paci's and put them in a baggy for the new baby and she did. She even crawled under her bed to get the ones that had fallen over time. I was so proud of her. It really brought a tear to my eye. I was so worried that bedtime for her was going to be a big struggle since she wouldn't have her paci but she did wonderfully. She never even asked for it. She is such a big girl.

Spice reading

Little Miss Spice loves her books. I can tell her to go read her book and she will pretend to read aloud. It really is the cutest thing. She will even read to her little sister at times. We have tried to teach her to enjoy reading but sometimes she takes the enjoyment a little to far. I end up finding pieces of books around the house. She had this really great Peek a Boo Book that she really liked but you could say she loved it a bit to much. I found the parts of the book that the babies would hide behind all over the house. You could say she isn't ready for normal paper pages yet. I try to stay with the cardboard books for now.

Rub a Dub Dub two Girls in a Tub

Sugar has so much fun in the bath with big sister. She gets so excited and splashes the water with her little hands. Spice isn't always into letting her play with all the toys. Spice will gather all the toys on her side and maybe give Sugar one toy. She often tries to take that one toy away and I have to remind her to share. As you can see they are still taking baths in our big bathtub in our room. It is just easier to all get ready at the same time. Some day we will move them into there own bathroom and they will have to settle for a much smaller tub.
