We haven’t played in the park much recently. Sometimes it just seems like too much work to get the kids ready and out the door.
But it’s always worth it once we get there! (I’m linking this to Tuesdays Unwrapped at Chatting at the Sky because I’m learning to take time to enjoy the little things.) [...]

(Thanks to SouleMama and her Winter’s Manifesto for inspiration.)
Catching sunbeams that come in the window.
The potted plants growing in front of the south window.
Playing outside on the unseasonably warm days.
Play-dough. Paint. Crayons. Baths.
Looking for snow every morning. Recovering from disappointment.
Cuddling early in the morning.
Having an extra child on my lap while nursing the baby.

Here she comes just a-walkin’ down the street!
Posted in Belleville, breastfeeding, goals, laughs, outside, play on February 10, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Ok, so this post really needs pictures or better yet, video to accompany it, but I just can’t get what I want so words will have to suffice.
I started thinking about walking more and how to do that in my life – mostly because I stepped on the scale at the doctor’s office the other [...]
Can’t say she never gave me anything …

Yesterday Kate had scissors and paper and was attempting to make paper snowflakes. But she did NOT want any help from me in the folding or cutting. Except after she cut many slits, opened the paper and it still looked like a full sheet of paper! Then she was willing to listen as I tried [...]
A more sophisticated, traditional game.

Kate’s learning to play baseball with Daddy. Meg mostly just carries the bat and ball around.
Giggle and fall down game.

The girls started hugging and staggering around giggling until they fell down the other day. And again. And again. And again. Here’s just one example:
Last day of pool fun!

This was the last day we went to the pool before it closed for the season. I’ve been glad the weather has been cooler since then so we play outside without getting too hot! All three of us girls really enjoyed the water all summer long.
Imaginary groceries vs. sibling rivalry.
Posted in Kate, Megan, laughs, play on August 20, 2008 | 3 Comments »
Yesterday Kate was pretending to go to the store and buy groceries. She put her (completely imaginary and invisible) groceries down on the couch for a minute. Megan came over and picked them up!
As Kate got upset, Josh convinced her (Kate) that Megan had picked up something else – not the “groceries.”
As soon as Kate picked [...]
The Chocolate Cream Soldier

Well, Josh and I played Trivial Pursuit last night after the girls went to bed. It was fun! He won. That’s usual. I wasn’t too far behind! Also normal.
The funny part was my first try at the pink pie piece – the question was about the “sweet” name of the opera based on Arms and [...]
Sisters in pajamas.

Here’s a picture from one morning the girls were enjoying each other’s company!
I am really enjoying how they interact and play recently: lots of hugs, often ending in them on the floor wrestling! reading books together, having picnics and tea parties in the playroom and kitchen, making brownies in the play kitchen, digging in the [...]
