TROUBLE

We have four very funny little people at our house, but 2 of them are definitely wearing me down! I don't mind winter or the snow, but you can only keep two 1 year olds out of trouble for so long. They have been learning a lot of new things lately, one of which is how to sit on time out.:) They are becoming quite good at it. The big problem is that when one is sitting on the naughty step, the other either goes and sits down beside them or brings them a toy...both of which defeats the purpose! They like to push the chairs to the drawers and take out the utensils and silverware. I brought the toy kitchen up to the playroom, but the real stuff is still better, I guess. They love to play peek a boo. Anytime I ask them a question though, they cover their eyes with their hands. Ha! They also will go and sit on the fireplace hearth anytime you want to take a picture of them. That's our "official" picture taking spot. I've been trying to come up with new activities for them to do. They enjoy coloring for a few minutes at a time, but they usually end up eating the crayons instead of drawing with them. I haven't given them play-doh yet for the same reason! They do like to dance though and will hold hands now when they do that. It's pretty cute to watch! It's hard to believe they're 19 months old already. I've been trying to call them the little kids instead of the babies, because one of these days that's going to make them mad! We're getting ready to celebrate Luke's birthday this weekend. He gets to have his first friends party with some boys from school, so I'll post pictures of that soon.

Lauren and Drew coloring. Luke was putting address labels and stamps on his birthday invitations!

This is from the ice storm a few weeks back.

Wearing overalls and sitting on the hearth. They like to put their hands in their pockets now.

Drew & Dexter hanging out together. They love Dexter and he does a pretty good job of tolerating them.:)
