Lied Museum:3/7/09

We went with Matty and Lexi to Lied Museum today since it was pretty chilly and windy this morning and we were looking for something fun to do! They had a blast and played with the Clifford exhibit, played bubbles, went in the playrooms, made music and played in tunnels and on airplanes. They did not even want to go when it was time for lunch.

Matty had the best time with a conveyer belt that brought Clifford's bones to his bowl!

( can you hear him counting one through twelve as he turns the wheel to make the conveyer belt move???) It amazes me how he has better one- to- one correspondence than some of my kindergartners? (Lexi too) I wish she would let me record her singing ABC's- because it is so cute!

Visiting with Grandpa Danny

Matty and Lexi had a great time visiting with their grandpa Danny, or as Lexi says "G-andpa Danny" They played and had a great blast, even though unfortunately we were all dealing with colds.

More pics from our 2 1/2 year pics

Here are some of the pics we just got back from Sears. I know a lot of you asked to see them so here they are. I am glad we did not wait to get them taken, since both kids have been sick for the past couple of weeks. Hope you enjoy!

I think they did a great job apart, now we are going to work on their shots together!

School Valentine's Day Party

Mommy took Matty and Lexi to their first school Valentine's Day party. It was a lot of fun. They played games, passed out valentines and ate yummy food. Lexi came over to me with cupcake frosting on her face and said "mommy I want a kiss" it was so sweet.

Matty was chosen to help pass out spoons and he was so good at it, and beaming with pride (hahaha.) These are the moments that will stay with me forever. That and when Matty tried to run out of the room and say "catch me, while hysterically laughing.

Notice how most are playing the game and Matty is playing in his own little world- He is fascinated with airplanes. As long as he has fun, right?

They are the funniest little people. They love to be together, even when others are around, and I love to watch them have fun!

Making Valentines

Matty and Lexi love doing crafts these days! They especially love working with glue. They made valentines for their teachers and family. They were so cute calling out the colors as they used them.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

2 1/2 years old

Well we went to Sears for our 2 1/2 year pics. Matty and Lexi enjoed the animals but as usual were more interested in playing then taking the pictures. Overall they did a good job and the photographers were very patient. It is a shame mommy did not fix Lexi's hair better. Oh well!

no more pictures mommy

Matty and Lexi have decided that they did not want pictures taken this month. They have been passing colds and such back and forth this week. Lexi's fever even got up to 103.5 and Matty got strep...but we are on the road to recovery. Hopefully they will let me take some pictures tomorrow, since they will be 2 1/2 years old. Wow I cannot believe how fast it is going. They are talking so much and singing. They have the funniest phrases, and keep me smiling and laughing all day. Lexi loves to say "what's that" about everything. Matty has even gotten up at 5:30 every morning recently yeah! It is a start.
