Crayons, Cheetos, Climbers, Converse, and a Carousel

I decided to bring out the crayons and let the kids "color" today. I have been waiting because it says it's for 18 months and up, but I just wanted to give it a try anyways.


It was all fun and games until Gavin decided that it was better to eat the crayons instead of color with them. You gotta love the fact they are non toxic!

Do you notice the little specs of blue evidence around his mouth??? Since Madaleine has now become a picky eater, she didn't want to eat them, but instead decided to color her nose. We gotta work on staying on the paper...

Since it matched her outfit and all, I let her walk around for a while with her blue nose... ha! It was cute.

I then brought out another new thing for the babies... Cheetos. No doubt, they loved them.

Madaleine is a much more "clean" eater than Gavin. She rarely makes a mess.

Here is Gavin's Cheetos face... gotta love it!

The kids have also been climbing up on things a lot more lately. This is not a good thing, because although they can get up, most of the time they don't know how to get down therefore resulting in a few crashes to the floor. Here is what they have discovered to climb on most recently... the window seat!


Climbing on the window seat is not a good idea for two reasons. First, there is nothing but hard tile below. I just know that one day they will fall down and hurt their little pumpkin heads. Second, they love to mess with the blinds which are already broken because of the cats. Remember people, we have our house on the market... people don't like broken blinds!

Going on to our next subject... the twins have officially graduated from babies to kids because they got their first pair of converse shoes!
They are just so adorable! I can always remember my brother wearing these... and he still does! Our kids for some reason LOVE shoes. They look so grown up when they wear these!

And last, but not least, the carousel. We took the kids down to Kehma this past weekend. They had a blast riding on all the rides. The favorite was the carousel.

This was Madaleine and I waiting in line for the carousel. When I saw this picture, I just laughed. I mean look at her! She is just lounging in my arms while waiting in line. SPOILED!

And here is that precious girl on her zebra. She loved it!

Gavin got to ride on it with Daddy. He wasn't quite sure what to think of it, but by the second time he rode, he figured out that it is fun after all!

We also rode the train. By then, both kids were tired, so the train ride wasn't such a hit.

It's about time I put up a post...

We headed out to the Houston Children's Museum a few weeks ago. The kids absolutely LOVED their tot spot. They played for about two hours. I always love it when we can wear the kids out and have fun doing it! Here are a few pictures. Sorry they are not the best, but it's a little hard to get good pictures when you are trying to run around after two little ones!

This last picture was them when it was time to go. They were not very happy that it was over. We look forward to going back!

WARNING: The sheriffs are in town

You better be on your best behavior or else you are gonna get busted by these tough sheriffs! No joke, they are hard core... they don't put up with anything!


I already had a run in with them. They gave me a ticket for leaving the unfolded laundry in the middle of the floor... a severe traffic violation.
Just look at those faces... they mean business! So, keep your eye out because you could be next on their chopping block!

night night.... YEAH RIGHT!

I have found this wind up contraption on the back of our son. It is the weirdest thing. I wind it up, and he goes crazy! I like to wind him up every night before bed. Here he is after I have wound him up really tight one night...

Now, if I can just find the "off" button... ha!

Pictures

Here are some pictures of the park from the other day like I promised!
I love this picture for some reason. It really shows that they can RUN... in OPPOSITE directions. Oh so fun!
And here they were right before we left the park that day... they were exhausted!

And this is proof that you are never too young to enjoy the yummy goodness of thin mint girl scout cookies!
