From the eye(and camera) of a three year old

What beautiful photographs were in Lilly's camera?

Some abstract and detail shots of our home....


She went for a complicated movement shot in the car....


Lots of her crazy Uncle Mattie....I think we will get this one enlarged on a 16x20 canvas. Just gorgeous!


Centered him this time, so that's an improvement....


You know girls and their fascination with shoes...


Actually a decent shot of Drew....



What was discovered in Drew's camera you ask?

A crotch shot of Todd....


Super flattering picture of me....


And chick(from cars) from every imaginable angle....this is not even all of the them. I spared you from all 83 of them.







Not quite sure how he took this one? Maybe he is super flexible or Drew already knows how to work a tripod?

That's quite a request

My son told me today that if he goes poo-poo on the potty he gets a Christmas tree.

How am I supposed to respond to that?

I seriously don't even know what to title this post

So as I have mentioned in previous posts, potty-training is on the horizon in this house. We are all warming to the idea of the potty and I have toddler potties now in each bathroom as a way to remind them(and me to be truthful) what is ahead. They enjoy sitting on the potty and "making pretend" potty sounds like they just went(what those sounds are I will just leave up to your imagination.)

Moving on.

The other day before nap time diaper change Lilly wanted to sit on the potty downstairs. I had no problem with this and told her to stay on the potty while I put Drew in his crib for a nap. As I come down the stairs and make the turn into the bathroom, I see Lilly doing what appears to be.....

Washing her buns?? Maybe I should tell her we have a special potty just for that, huh?



I mean I need to give the girl credit for good hygiene, right? As you can tell from her expression, she thought it was an outstanding idea.


PS There was no evidence of her going potty (anywhere)

PPS Remember the days of 0% body fat? Long Sigh

Advantage Parents

So, we all remember Lilly's new dresser?


Now that they can't play hide and seek in it any more, they have chosen a new activity that happens more than three times a day.



Parents win.

Puke Protection

There is nothing like some old sheets and blankets(along with many bowls around the house) to be ready for the "no warning" puke. Today she seems to be feeling quite a bit better. So far so good for the rest of us.



Just a little creative art work in Todd and I's Christmas card from my brother. It's special, isn't it? Notice the detail of what was coming back up...like a goldfish and pretzel.

Extra Curricular activities while eating

So what if we get bored while eating and like to keep busy with sculpture art using forks. Drew likes to demonstrate how he uses "the force" to make his fork stay still.

Beware of a minature peeping Lilly

***Only happens to those who wear skirts or dresses***

Can I pull this off?

Not quite long enough for pig tails (yet)

Drew as Cookie Monster

WARNING: Young children could be frightened by Drew's interpretation of Cookie Monster
