Treats and Naps

We have started to work on potty training this girl. She gets a marshmallow treat every time she goes. This makes her happy! 


Today she vacuumed the floors after lunch. She and the vacuum got quite a workout apparently ....






....... because they needed a nap when they were finished!


Speaking of naps, both babies took a 3 hour nap today! 


The 3 hour nap must've been great because they both woke up happy!! This NEVER happens!






Love my baby buddies!

Fish

My dad brought over his fish tank for the kids to have on Saturday. They loved watching him put it together and seeing all the fish inside.




He taught Bellie how to feed the fish. 



I figured the perfect place for the fish tank was between their high chairs so they can look at them. I'd been doing a good job in remembering to move the high chairs out a little when they eat.....until this morning. 


Looks like Bellie was able to reach the tank and share her cereal. Oops! They loved it, too. They chased the net as I was trying to get it all out of there.

TGIF!

Isabelle and Lucy are really good pals as you can see. They are often sitting together on the couch or laying down near a register (cool air!) together. This dog has really been a good puppy for our family. She is getting more rambunctious though on a daily basis. Sometimes I wish puppies skipped the puppy stage and went straight to ten years old.


A couple hours a week I scan hundreds of resumes online and contact people to see if they might be interested in becoming an insurance agent. Sometimes I just have to shake my head at the things people put on their resumes. It's pretty common to see people list Facebook and Twitter as their top skills. This resume however (see last point) really takes the cake.


Bob sent me this picture Wednesday night. If you look closely, you'll see deer in our field. We are loving the wildlife we see on a daily basis.


One way we see our son growing is that he's getting better at defending himself against food stealers. Shortly after I took this picture, Bobby hauled off and smacked her in the face. After I stopped laughing, I got after him. He then started laughing.


Bellie was resourceful and used a placemat as a blanket for her doll.


Working from home can be messy. The kids weren't ready for naptime yet I guess, so while they played with their toys I got an hour of work done. Then I realized the toys were really the bagels I had on the kitchen counter.


Sometimes I have three kids.




A couple times this week the babies have climbed into my lap and fallen asleep on their own. They're so sweet.


Sometimes they're troublemakers, too. Bellie has done pretty well with sharing though lately. If only she didn't share the dog food with her brother.


I love having my chalkboard. It's helps in reminding me to memorize God's Word.


Sink bath for little buddy!



Look who can get into the refrigerator herself and choose salami to eat and then eat it on the couch while sitting on the curtain that the dog keeps pulling off the window.



TGIF!

Niagara Falls-Part Two

Monday morning we walked to a nearby restaurant for breakfast.


He may look like he's smiling, but he really was being fussy and loud!


After breakfast we took another walk to see the falls.



Little dude was trying to go to sleep, so we had to do what we could to keep him awake until nap time. I had an appointment to get a manicure during their nap time!


After nap time, we decided to pack a lunch and have a picnic by the falls. I have to say this may have been my favorite part of the trip!







I kept thinking how blessed I am because when I looked to the left there were beautiful waterfalls and when I looked to the right there was my husband playing with my little girl!







We just had to get some ice cream!




......and fudge!!
