This is why we love mommoms house....

My mom is known for being quite silly.
I can recall as a kid, my sister and I
telling her often that she was weird.
Well this is another weird thing she does, my kids love when she squirts canned whipped cream in their mouths. It is rather funny, their little mouths open like carp awaiting their treat. James my son, even gagged a few times. Pretty disgusting but very funny at the same time.
Just what mommoms are for.

Robert Plant? Is that you?

Tiny Dancer

This was one of my dance outfits when I was three or four. She loved this, and walked with her head down while admiring herself!

Batman and the Kitty Cat

We went a birthday party a week ago, and the kids got their faces painted. I was amazed at how still they sat. Mostly staring at the lady painting their faces, and everyone staring at them. James now would like a permanent Batman emblem on his face. Since that is pretty much illegal for a 2 year old. I gave him a temporary tattoo today. Well, actually it was 3. One on his forehead, his nose and his cheek. Then about 3 more on his arm, one on his belly and one on his leg. So I guess that would make it 8.
I'll have to get a pic of that.

He's showing off his fireball here. He actually ate it. Once it started to get hot, I couldn't get him to take it out...he just kept saying "HOT"
Eventually he did take it out and it became a ball that he rolled all over the floor and got stuck under the couch numerous times.

James like Daddy

James is realizing that his dad has a particular style. Ok maybe its not a "style" its more like a typical outfit for daddy. While getting James dressed one day, in a black shirt and black boots, he looks down at himself and says, "James looks like Daddy!" I say you sure do! While going through some winter clothes, I found a leather jacket that was given to James, and couldn't resist this photo op.
Today at Target, while looking for my 1,000,871st pair of sunglasses. James spots a pair and puts them on, looks at himself in the mirror and says, "James looks like daddy!" Only this time I didn't agree with him he looked more like Elton John.

Don't drive me nuts today...its Christmas!

"Lets decorate today with the kids." Who said this?
Better yet, why did I say this? I was thinking it would be fun for them to see the house transform for Christmas time. Maybe they could help. What was I thinking? I remembered about 5 minutes into getting all the boxes out, that I had said specifically last year, that I would wait til the kids were napping to do this. I forgot.

As you can tell from the photos, they had fun, and were pretty darn cute too. I especially love the pic of Scarletts rump. I think she fell forward right before I took that. And she clearly does not look impressed that we're getting our Christmas tree out of a box. One day my darling little girl we will get a real tree. Merry Christmas.

I need...attention people!

This girl is learning what gets attention. Now it seems to me that she is abusing it. When she was just a bit younger she would cry and make these faces(pictured above) and I just assumed if her brother was sitting nearby, he was causing some harm to her. Not true. She will do this at the tiniest of reasons, or in fact, for no reason at all.
