Walking, Rolling, and Rock 'N' Roll ABC's

Photobucket has been acting up and not letting me upload my video. I finally got it to work yesterday, but didn't have time to post. I did get some cute pics of the kids while we we out walking the other day and a video. Hope you enjoy:)

There are some folks a few houses away that have some, um, lets call it yard art. The kids love it and always want to stop and play with the crocodile.


Daniel taught them a long time ago that it is fun to put a stick in ant beds. That means everytime we see an ant bed, we must stop and poke sticks into it. They are pretty good about getting the sticks in quickly and getting away before they get bitten. When we go for a lot of walks, you can sometimes see 8 or 9 stick sticking out of each ant bed.



Then I made them hold hands so I could get a cute picture from behind.


Christopher rollong down the ditch.


Natalie found a pecan. It kept her interest for a few minutes and then she said she wanted to eat it. I cracked it for her but (big surprise) it was no good.


Finally, there is just so much content in this video, I don't think I could ever explain it all:) One thing I will say is that when Natalie is playing w/ her hands, she is trying to sign "I love you".

ETA: i can't get blogger to accept the HTML from my video. Go here ot view directly at PhotoBucket http://s137.photobucket.com/albums/q227/marymac_s/?action=view&current=MVI_4636.flv

5 weeks:)

I am in my 5th week now, here is about what the pumpkin looks like

It is so hard to get pictures of Christopher and Natalie right now, they tend to strip down as soon as we walk through the door or get out of bed. I am going to try and get them dressed again and take them for a walk. I'll take my camera and try to get some photos of them for you. Cross your fingers that I'll get soem and get to post them!

Surprise! Get Out the Mastercard!

I'm back with a few of the promised conversations:)


Me: Christopher, please put on your shoes (or shirt/pants/socks etc).
Christopher: What?
Me: Put on your shoes.
Christopher: Huh?
Me: Christopher, put on your shoes NOW!
Christopher: WHAT?
Me: Christopher, do you want to go to gymnastics (or Rainbows...)?
Christopher: Yes!
Me: Then put on your shoes.
Christopher: OK.

I am pretty sure he got this from me, I am always having to ask him to repeat himself. Apparently he thinks it is a game. Here is #2:


Me: Christopher and Natalie, it is time to settle down and get ready for bed.
(At this point sometimes Natalie starts to run around or jump on the couch)
Christopher: Na-wie, Momma said settle down not settle up.

Isn't that sweet? I'm pretty sure that means he understands that up and down are opposites, right? Now here is one from Natalie (talking to her baby, bear or barbie):


Natalie: Bo-Bo?
Bear: No Response.
Natalie: Yes?
Bear: No response.
Natalie: MWAH. Better?
Bear: No response.
Natalie: (Smiles) Better!
Bear: Yep, no response.
Natalie: Nose?
Bear: No response.
Natalie: OK, nose (wipes bears nose).

She can go on like that for a while. She'll wipe their poo, give them baths and lay them down and tell them night night. She is such a good little mommy! Here is a photo of her reading to her babies.






And last, but definately not least...


New wardrobe for Mom: $700.00

A little pumpkin due Oct 29: Priceless!

HI!!!

Hi! I'm finally getting here to post some more:) Sorry for my absence, but you know how life is sometimes.

Daniel bought a Wii last month and I have some video of the kids playing that for you. Christopher can already beat me at all the games and he can beat Daniel at a few... I think it is really funny!









The kids had a Valentines Day party at school last week. The school rented the "Big Bouncy Bus" and they both had a great time playing in there. I did not go to Natatlie's party (they really don't want us to b/c the kids get really upset if we leave after and don't take them) but I did go to Christopher's and here are some photos of that.

Rocking on the barrel "horse"






The zip cord was Christopher's favorite!



I wish I had some photos of Natalie, the bus lady said that she had no fear and rode the zip cord over and over. They are talking about renting the bus on a regular basis and I really hope they do, it was a great treat for the kids. And finally, here are a couple of LO's that I in the last few months:




I hope you enjoyed everything, I'll be back soon with more updates! There have been quite a few fun conversations lately that I think should definately be shared!
