Someone got a new toy....

....and it is not myself, Drew, or Lilly.



You know those gifts where a bunch of family members go in on it to make it happen? It was one of those gifts.

Is it in their DNA?

Drew told me he had to go poop as I was washing dishes the other day. So, I used my wet, soapy hands as an excuse to work on some independence skills for Drew. I told him he could go poop by himself and gave him instructions on how to do so(I obviously still help with the wiping) He has always been one to enjoy his privacy, so when he closed the door, I knew he was getting settled in the bathroom. So quite a while later I realized he never called me, and the door was still shut, so this is what I saw when I slowly pushed the door open.








He proceeded to tell me he was "not done yet"(even though I know he was)and continued to read his Toys R Us magazine

A song to live by....

Does this song go under the lullaby category? Well we use it as a lullaby often.

Happy Thanksgiving!

These are direct quotes
"I am thankful for lots of chocolate cookies, lightening McQueen who drives really fast, the ambulances who say 'wee -hoo wee-hoo', and I have one last thing.....my school"

"I am thankful for ice cream, hide and seek, the doggies in the houses say 'woof-woof', and Little Einsteins."

Todd and I are thankful for our Drew and Lilly.

A new trend and one that I personally am not that into

Lilly getting naked during nap time.



Who else does this? You know who you are out there...just confess.

Note to Todd

Don't give Lilly gum, even if it is the smallest of pieces. Would this technically be her first hair cut??

A new hobby, a future job, a birthday gift

So golf clubs and golfing has been added to Lilly and Drew's activity list. Nana and Boppa gifted Drew and Lilly with real, genuine, toddler-as-you-grow golf clubs. We are lucky enough to live within a 10 minute walk of Windsor Golf Course and are practicing often.

So Drew(so far) has seem to take the biggest interest in golfing. He LOVES it.


This is what Drew does when we tell him to "keep his eye on the ball"


This is his Tiger Woods impression look right after he just missed a long put. Imagine Drew saying something like, "Oh you darn ball and green." I am not sure if that is what Tiger Woods says, especially knowing he is the most fined(for cussing and other bad behavior) golfer usually each year.


This is where Drew typically placed the ball if he had a choice before putting. I mean it does increase your success rate..that is for sure



Lilly stuck with it for a entire 10 minutes.....


Then developed a new game involving the sand trap....


Followed by investing her time in golf maintenance.
