Disney On Ice!

Thank you Grandma and Grandpa for taking us to Disney on Ice! It was so magical!

Our October and November of 2010

*SUPER LONG POST* *WITH A BILLION PICTURES*

Finally, we were able to get Mommy to post an update and all our pictures from our fun October and some of November!
Here is what happened in our neck of the woods:

HALLOWEEN 2010 We had plenty of festivities to attend, complete with TONS of candy!
With the cousins...
Carving pumpkins with Mommy and Daddy...

Going to a Carnival:

Donuts on a string (harder than it looks, people)...

Balloon animals and flowers!

A kissing booth...

Cookie decorating...

FACE PAINTING....

Claire: Monkey Jocelynn: Giraffe (Aren't we totally cute?)

Next, here are some pictures of our fun times watching Baby Oliver (and playing with his carseat!)

Also playing with Paisley and Delaynie

(Trying out Mommy's apple peeler corer slicer)

The Mommies thought it would be fun to line us up in age order!

Thats 3 two year olds and 2 under 6 months!

How adorable!

Lately we have been LOVING to paint! One day Mommy let us paint with her sponge brushes. Its a good thing she had us take our shirts off, cause boy were we MESSY! It was so much fun! We definitely had to have a bath after this!

We have had a fun beginning to November! Stay tuned for Disney on Ice and our Fun in the Snow!

See ya later!

Big Girls!

We have decided among ourselves that now is the time to make The Big Announcement.
So here goes:
Claire and Jocelynn are officially
POTTY TRAINED!!!
Yay for us! We are pretty excited about it too. We think mommy and daddy are so proud of us! They keep talking about not buying diapers any more with big smiles on their faces.

So, to help us on our endeavors, Mommy made us sticker charts. We got a sticker for every time we went potty on the toilet! Once we filled up our charts we got a Special Treat. And that treat was we got to ride a REAL Horsey! (We are currently in love with horses and the "Horsey Movie" Spirit)
Cousin Coleman gave us a ride on his horse and we were in heaven!

THEN

Mommy started a new sticker chart. We got a sticker for every WHOLE day that we stayed dry in our Big Girl Panties. After a week of stickers, we get a Special Treat.

Claire just got to a week, so Mommy and Claire went out for a fun treat. Mommy gave Claire the option of having ice cream, a smoothie, candy, or soda and she chose a Smoothie!
She was SO excited when she found out this whole treat was just for her!

Claire felt very grown up, just like a big girl should!

Joci is close to getting her next Special Treat, so we will update soon with what she decides to get!

Our Fun September

We have been having such a fun time enjoying the beginning of Fall that we keep forgetting to update and post pictures on here!
So here are a few pictures of our September!
We got to experience the Puyallup Fair with Mommy and Daddy! It was a lot of fun.
We loved making funny faces for the camera when we were waiting for shows to start!
We LOVED the petting zoo! Last year we were not too sure about touching animals, but this year we couldnt get enough!

And we got to pet baby pigs that were only a few days old! (Of course mommy did not get a picture of it! Sad)

More funny faces!

So excited for the hypnotist show!

We also had a lot of fun with Daddy on his Birthday!

We loved singing to him! Ever since then we talk almost every day about "Happy Birthday Daddy!"

Stay Tuned for more fun times!

A Note from Mommy

I just recently watched a Jane Goodall documentary about chimps. I thought I was watching my own little girls! Those little monkeys were flying all over the place, hooting and hollering at the top of their lungs, and nothing could contain them! They were just like my two little 2 year old girls. Minus all the hair and crinkly little faces! All day long these girls keep me on my toes. They are so full of energy and are so active from the time they get out of bed to the time they get back in, and sometimes a little bit more.

Here is a funny story for the history pages:

This mommy has been attempting to take these two girlies out by myself more lately and I though they were getting more used to it. And I thought they were becoming better behaved when at public places. HA.HA.HA.

All I needed was two things from the electronics department, so I decided to just take the girls in by hand. Unfortunately I think they viewed the electronics department as a toy store free for all. They were off in two different directions before I knew what was going on! So I went in search of a cart to put them in. Yeah right! Once they had seen what they could do in the store on foot, they would not be contained! (If you know my children at all you know that any type of straps or restraint is laughable to these monkey girls)

THEN they found the rolling ladder thingy that is only for employees and it was chaos! Long story short: There was a lot of screaming (girls), whispered threats (me), bribery (me), and crying (girls). Ultimately we ended up leaving the cart in the middle of the aisle while I grabbed a child in each arm and marched out to the car. No purchases made. Time outs ensued.

All I could think of was - I brought two wild monkeys into the electronic store. There is really no one to blame but myself.

The End

Summer Summer Summer Time

We have been having all kinds of fun this summer! We are so sad that it is almost at an end...
Here are some highlights!

Shooting at the birds to keep them off the grass seed
(Don't worry, they are biodegradable air soft pellets, just to scare them!)
We love to go swimming at the lake!

Enjoying picnics

We love to help Daddy mow the lawn!

We love to eat our lunch and dinner and snacks outside!

We saw the Blue Angels air show! It was so loud!

Happy Summer Everyone!
