Christmas 2014

Story time

Ship him off!

Well, that's one way to get rid of your brother. Aidan was not happy with this turn of events.

I think she's ready for bed

Pirates will be Pirates

Somebody left his pirate ship unattended and Em swooped in and took over.

Nice Pic

What are you lookin' at?

Cute & Destructive

Let's give mom a heartattack

I'll be so happy when ee move into an apartment and I don't have to worry about the kids falling down the stairs.

My favorite picture of the kids

We don't always get along, but when we do we sure are cute.

Be still my little librarian heart

Emma has really started to enjoy books. She loves the Hyperbole and a Half book Deni sent me for Christmas. It doesn't matter where we put it, she will find it. She's also much more gentle with books now so I don't have to freak out that she has a non-board book type book out.

First Easter Egg Hunt

Emma didn't really understand what was going on, she just wanted to eat the egg she found. It was really hard to get it away from her and she was very unhappy to lose it. Luckily the goodies in the Easter basket distracted her from the loss.

Waiting for Aidan

We had the day off so we all got to go pick Aidan up from school. I think this is the first time Emma has ever sat nicely and looked at a book as opposed to tearing out the pages.

Cooking with Mommy

The kids and I cook every weekend. Aidan can be very helpful (as long as I don't mind pie crusts with dinosaur footprints) but Emma can be a menace. A small mixing bowl of cheerios and some spoons kept her occupied for about 45 minutes. Hopefully this trick will work again.

"flower" hair

Aidan is enjoying Em's new hairstyle. Mostly he likes bopping her on the head.
