Bounce House Fun

Today was my first day off from work on track break. Matty, Lexi and I went to Bounce U. It is a bouncy house place. We had so much fun! It was not crowded and the kids were the best listeners. We had a fun day and there were no tears all day! It was wonderful being home with them all day! I am looking forward to the next few weeks off!

Fun at Sunset Park

We had fun at the Sunset Park Kids Day by 94.1. The kids went on the swings ride, played on bouncy houses and went on a few other rides. Matty enjoyed 2 ice pops and Lexi liked a hot dog.

Matty went down a water slide, he loved it until he fell into a shallow bit of water and got scared.

Princess Dress Up

Lexi loves to dress up like a princess! She made it that much cuter when she borrowed my sunglasses and purse...put on her hat, and then decided to smile for a picture. She cracks me up most of the day! She loves to have fun and really knows how to make people laugh with her contagious laughter!

33 months!

Well it is official, Matty and Lexi are 33 months. Only 3 months from turning 3! I can't believe how fast it is going. Every day they learn new things and try to grow up too fast. They are so amazing, interesting, fun, persistent, engaging, etc. I love how they love...sometimes it can be overwhelming, but in a good way when you step back. They are very creative and have wonderful imaginations. They love to play outside, color, paint, do arts and crafts, play with toys and have a new fascination with Dora the Explorer and Diego. Lexi tries to help Matty say words correctly, especially Diego or as Matty says aigo. She will say "no, no Mattty...D- aygo" She is his teacher, friend, little mommy, and sister.

I love watching them grow...but I wsh I could freeze time.

Happy 33 months my precious toddlers!

(more pics to come when we get them back from Sears!

Matty and Mommy time

Matty and Mommy get to spend a lot of one on one time daily! Matty is an early riser, so we share some special time in the morning. Sometimes we play a game or draw, other times cartoons it is. And still there are the times that we take a ride to the store if mommy needs stuff for work or any other reason. Every time we go to Walmart Matty wants to ride the Elmo car...so finally I had the change with me and his wish was my command.

I love spending special one on one time with the kids. They are completely different when they are by themselves. They are so wonderful and creative...and I am thankful everyday for them...even at difficult moments!
