What we’ve been up to….

It’s never boring around here! Here are a few things that we’ve been doing this last week:

I finally finished the Twins’ blankets. I wanted to do something special for my good friend who just had twin boys this last Friday. I forgot how long it takes to crochet ONE blanket, let alone two! Despite the time, I haven’t enjoyed making anything in a long time quite as much as I loved making these blankets. And I made them up as I went along! :)
I think I’ve mentioned before that my kids love to cook. Lately, Apple’s been getting the cooking fever. The other day, he helped make whole wheat waffles. Yum!
I was just talking with someone today about how much Reese and Taco’s relationship has changed–for the better-since Taco started school. Nowadays, they get along pretty well. This picture cracked me up when I saw it the first time, then tugged at me even more as I studied it a little longer. From the way Reese’s hands are grabbing Taco’s head to the look on his face at her kiss. Priceless! This afternoon, Apple desperately wanted to give Reese a kiss, but Reese wasn’t in the mood. Haha! Late last week, I went to the park with my friends Doreen and Melissa and their kids. These were my two favorite pictures of their little ones…

While we were at the park that day, Apple thought it was great fun to drink from the water bottle and then spit the water out like a human fountain. That soon progressed to squirting water all over his head. We got a kick out of him.

My big boy….Love this kid! I just wish he would HEAR me a little better these days.

Apple loves danimals yogurt. I guess he was extra hungry the other day, so he thought it would be a good idea to drink two at once!

I don’t have a picture for the last thing I wanted to mention. PB and I were both lucky enough to get summoned for jury duty a week apart. PB was this week, and I was next. BUT, PB had to reschedule his jury duty for next Monday, so I decided to try to get a postponement. I was orignially hesitant to call in case they rescheduled me for the summer (much worse for the scheduling). Well, today when I called in, the two little kids were being noisy. It paid off for once! The lady on the phone simply asked me how old my youngest child was (2) and excused me for another 2 years. Yippee!
