You Gotta Love Toddlers!

Here's just a quick post of some of the funny statements conveyed to the toddlers recently:

"Don't eat your shoe, shoes are for wearing"

"Don't wipe your cheese on the counter, cheese is for eating not cleaning. I know you're trying to help, but it is actually making a bigger mess!"

"No the Wiggles cannot hold you, they are on TV!"

"Do you want chicken pot pie for lunch? Yes Snow White made it!"

"No Ian you may not jump off the train table like Grave Digger (the monster truck)"

Merry Mimmas Everyone!

Ah yes, Mimmas time again. The kids are having a grand time this year and are very much involved and loving every minute of it. The mall of Savannah had a Mimmas Choo Choo that we had to ride, which of course we had to ride a couple times. We then went to go pick out the Mimmas Tree and the kids loved decorating and directing where each and every ornament needed to be for sheer perfection. Later that night was time to make the Mimmas Cookies. Ian and Emma love to stand in the "help mommy" to help make anything. This time it was to make the Mimmas Cookies. Emma's decorating hand got a little heavy with the red sprinkles, thus leaving little to be found of the cookie after she was done. As usual click on each picture to be redirected to the web gallery of each album. Merry Mimmas everyone!

1st Official Golf Outing...FORE!

We had our first official golf outing and had a great time. The kids love to run on the "Big up" (mounds around the green) and sit in the cart and watch daddy's "Big Hit". They had such a good time they keep saying "golf with daddy?" They made great caddies and there were even a couple funny moments when daddy was over the putt getting ready to hit when someone decided to walk over and grab the golf ball from in front of me and walk away, classic! That would have been great for a funniest home video moment.

Happy Halloween from South Carolina!

Happy Halloween to everyone from SC. We hope everyone has a fun, safe Halloween and gets lots of cavities. Stay tuned for pictures of the Halloween costumes, who was okay wearing them and who wasn't having it. Only one guess as to who threw a fit in her costume...oops, I just gave it away!

Birthday Parties

Again, we would like to wish the babies a Happy 2nd birthday. Man did they have it good; they didn't just have one party, they got to have two parties! We went at lunch time to meet them at school last Wednesday with some "Woggie Cupcakes" for their school party with all their classmates. Then We held a family party at the house on Sunday. Yaya and Poppie had a good time watching the kids rip through their presents including a "Tickle Me Elmo" that Emma is absolutely terrified of. Notice the fear in her eyes in some of the pics in the web gallery when Ian breaks out THE Elmo.

Happy Birthday Babies!!!

Happy 2nd Birthday babies! We can't believe they are really 2 already. They are getting so big and animated. Oh yeah and let's not forget the attitudes and personalities coming out. Stay tuned for pictures from their birthday "Woggie Cupcake" party at school and their family birthday party this weekend. We will be making a collage of pictures from both parties and posting after the weekend, so don't you go changing that channel!

IKEAM!!!

"WOW!" is about all we could say while watching Emma tear through her ikeam. She was in the zone, with that blank stare on her face. You would have thought it was the last ikeam cone on Earth. Ian was a bit slower at it and made his funny face when the cold ikeam hit his front teeth. We were more concerned about Emma getting the ikeam headache, however, from devouring the cone so fast. Oh and yes, it was everywhere, all over the face and some in the hair. See the cute pictures below, and if you would, please notice the death grip strangle hold Emma has on her cone. There is no one about to pry that cone from her kung fu grip!
