kids are gross

today i look over at charlotte and shes picking her nose. "charlotte dont pick your nose thats gross." holding her finger out to me, "no its not. its yummy!!! taste?" then she decides to do just that! "mmmm...yummy!" its a good thing shes cute!

sassy girl!

i thought it was about time to give an update on sophias progress with her spanish at school, so i decided to share a funny story from the other day. sophia was being a little sassy (lets be real when isnt she?!) with her uncle dan who was speaking to her in spanish. dan says something to her and she says "YOU dont exist!!" i told her it was rude to speak to her uncle like that and she tells me that dan said something rude to her. i told her no he didnt and thats not how she should talk and my sister whitney starts laughing and tells me that dan did say something rude to her. i ask her what he said to her and she tells me "he told her she doesnt exist." i have to admit in spite of her sassy mouth i was so proud of her! hahaha! she totally understood what dan had said to her! shes picking up and understands SO much already and its been so fun to watch her progress. im scared for the day when she can speak it fluently with all her school friends and i'll have no idea what their saying! hahaha! but for now its just amazing to watch this girl learn and grow!

a day with my girls...

life with my girls is never dull thats for sure. the other morning charlotte came in our room and rick yells to me to come look at her hand because its about 3 times its normal size and he thinks she got bitten by something during the night. well, it turns out she didnt get bitten. she put a clear little plastic hair band around her wrist before she went to sleep and it must have cut off her circulation during the night and caused her hand to blow up like a ballon. the crazy thing is it wasnt even bothering her! nothing this girl does surprises me anymore! well, that same day my sister picks sophia up from school and sophia calls me near tears because apparently a little girl in her class cut her hair. of all the kids to pick to cut their hair sophia was definitely the wrong one! hahaha! im obviously the only who has ever cut her hair so she was a little traumatized. charlottes hand eventually went down and is just fine and sophia got over it after a little drama so. hahaha! theres definitely always SOMETHING going on in our house!

halloween

this year halloween was so much fun! charlotte was old enough to really get into it. she spent the whole night running from house to house and refused to let anyone carry her bucket even when it was full and weighing her down. she was a trooper! unfortunately sophia pretty much spent the majority of the evening in the back of the stroller not feeling well at all. poor girl:( this year sophia was dorthy and charlie was glinda the good witch, even though sophia wanted her to be her toto! my mom made sophias costume, so a big thank you to mom! and i did charlottes. ok well, i bought the tutu but i put the finishing touches on everything! this year was alot of fun and i cant wait until next year!

halloween par-tay!!

my sisters and i planned a halloween party this year at my parents house and, in my opinion, it was a hit! rick was a sport and wore his tinman costume to go with my witch costume even though he didnt want to! and i must say he was one cute tinman! (the girls were dorthy and glinda the good witch so i wanted our costumes to go along with theirs). michal was in charge of the decorations and recruited whitneys help and it looked amazing!! justyn was in charge of the entertainment and she decided to do fear factor. between mouse traps, nasty food, and shooting partners with a paintball gun it was very entertaining to watch! i had a lot of fun and i hope everyone else did too. thanks so much everyone that came and made it such a fun evening! and i BIG thanks to my parents for giving up their house for the evening AND watching the babies for us while we were gettin our party on!
