Saturdays in the park

Well our sports classes are picking up! Evan actually participated this week (albeit with the threat of going home or playing) and he had fun! We hung out at the park, rode bikes, hiked a little trail, and tuckered miss Kate out! It was a fun Saturday morning.

Look what I did!

Yes- I made that! I wanted some bedding for Evan's bed (that wasn't Thomas) but couldn't find any I liked, so I decided to put my limited sewing skills to use and try out a blanket. I think it turned out pretty well for a girl who can hardly sew! We'll just have to see if it holds up!

Currently Obsessed with

the Temper Trap. Can't get enough. To all my musically hip friends, don't mock because I'm so behind- none of the good stuff can be found on Little People or primary cd's. Kids sanity = mom's sanity. This stuff also = moms sanity. Beautiful.

7 Months

This little nugget is 7 months! 7 months!!!! She has become a very busy girl. She isn't happy to hang out without something near her mouth or in her mouth. She scoots and rolls all over the place and adores Evan. Evan has given her the nickname "sqeak". Its super cute to see them love each other- nothing melts this moms heart faster than when Evan asks to see 'sqeak' and she lights up when she sees him. We love our little Sqeak!

Rainy days...

don't go away! My boy loves them too much! We have had a couple of rainy weeks and no one has loved them more than Evan. When he sees the rain he begs to go outside and when he gets outside he makes the most of every puddle, stream and snail. He discovered how the storm drains work by putting leafs in the stream and watching them go down the drain. I love watching him learn and make the most of our "bad" weather.

Six months

I think my little nuggets are the cutest in the world! Somedays I just can't get enough of them. Kate is growing like a weed! I can't believe she is six months already. She eats like a champ- squash is her preferred dish. She rolls all over the place, chews on everything is sight and tries to sit up when you lay her down. I think she might end up being just as crazy as her brother. She still is the sweetest girl in the world. I don't know how to explain her, but there is this incredible innocence about her. She has a cute little giggle, in fact she giggles at you or anything more than she talks or coo's. Evan is a good big brother, whenever she rolls or does something new, he tells her "good job baby girl". There is nothing sweeter than that!

Master Sports? Not so much...

So we put Evan into a Master Sports class at our local park. We thought it was a great idea to get him more involved, play with other kids, learn to play a few sports. Well maybe we were wrong! He HATES it! These are pics of week two, Paul said it was better than week one. Maybe by the end of it, he will love it just in time! Good thing we just spent money to basically play with our kid at the park- I do that daily for free! Although watching those little kids chase the foot ball was to hilarious- nothing cuter than a group of three year olds running in circles!
