This Is How We Roll

Boy and his "Raw Raw"

A box of monkeys!

1.)Yes it is winter.

2.) Yes I do have the pic of them both eating off the same Popsicle but I am saving it for blackmail.

3.) And yes even the outside walls of our house are covered in chalk drawings, (My painting chore is like unto your dishes chore. =DAILY NEED) It is the life of a stay at home artist mother. 

This is how Demitri wanted his picture taken...

Party in Mom's Bed

This was always fun growing up, and quite different as the mom but still fun once you give up on the idea of sleep. 

Demitri's Birthday

Decided to try a fruit pizza instead of cupcakes since the icing is all he eats anyways... :D

Happy little two-year-old!
He had lots of help opening his presents!

Toddlers Definition of Mother

Mother daughter relationships...

...at this particular point I was valuing my individual time with my eldest.  One on one times are so presious that I really wanted to think of a question to get to know her and how she was doing not just the usual go to-"what is your favorite color?"

I turned the car radio off and decided I would let her take control of the direction of conversation. I lovingly asked, "Daphney what would you like to talk about?"
To which she responded I don't want to talk about anything... zero. I will just yell loud when I want you to wipe me.

Alright then I will leave ya alone if that is all you need from me. :D she is as much fun as a goldfish.

Halloween 2015

Shane: Spider
Katie: Butterfly
Daph: Ladybug/ Butterfly
Demitri: Bumble Bee
Paisley: Caterpillar

Daph was positive she was a butterfly this Halloween and I didn't want to work too hard to correct her, because her costume was cute and I didn't want to come up with a different costume. So as we went around to houses people would say, "Oh, what a cute lady bug and she would look up at them like are you crazy I am clearly a butterfly." We thought she was silly but wanted her to be whatever she wanted. (Why couldn't there be a red and black spotted butterfly?) However, I about died when she saw Demitri's costume and complained that she didn't want him to be a bumble bee but a ladybug because she likes ladybugs. I still couldn't convince her that she was one though...

Who doesn't make their kids play educational games in order to eat their Halloween candy?! :D
