hockey

J and E are outside playing hockey.  It's sooooo cute!!!  It was about time to stop though so I asked E if he wanted to go with daddy on an errand or help me put the girls to bed.  He thought about it for a minute then said, "play hockey with daddy!!!"  Not one of the choices but too cute to resist.

my cute kids

Cute things they say.

Everyone is amazed at E's talking.  No one really believes he's not yet 2 and talks in full sentences.  He came up to me the other day and said, "I am bleeding, I need a band-aide."  What almost 2 year old knows that and can say it?

He is BAD though.  He wants to do what he wants and when he can't he is very strong willed about letting you know he is MAD.  I battle him a 100 times a day.  And he laughs when you are trying to disapline him.  It's so hard.  Hard not to laugh when your kid does.  I put him in time out and he gets up and I put him back in and he gets up and I put him back in and he gets up.  Goes on and on.  Not sure what to do with him.  He for sure is my most strong willed kid and for sure starting the terrible 2s earliest.  He went from being my most perfect child to being my worst in the matter of 3 months.

E calls me "mommy mom."  hehe so cute.

I was getting E dressed for school and talking it up.  I said, "are you going to see Ms. Martha today?"  He said, "and Ms. April."  Then he went on to say, "I will miss you mommy at school." Just made my heart melt.  He can voice and realize his sadness.

C and Stella were playing the other day at the pool with these seeds they found.  She brought hers home and wanted to plant them.  She asked for a cup of water.  Few minutes later needed another.  I thought for sure by then they were all planted.  Nope.  She had planted 3.  She was saving the rest "to plant with Stella."  Then she asked me if, "they would die before Stella came over again?"

Yesterday at the game during tailgate C found my change in my car.  She had a handful of it.  Then she found a few pom pom pieces.  Then a balloon at the game.  She held onto all 3 of these items the entire game and all the way back to the car.  Would not let them go.  Ugh a true hoarder.

Av and I got to go to her school on Friday night just the two of us.  None of her close friends were there so it was just us two hanging out.  It was so nice. She held my hand most of the time.  We worked one of the games, ate ice cream, played some games, danced and sung to Call me Maybe and watched some of the movie.  It was an awesome night!!!

Soccer girl


Her soccer jersey is maroon.  We have a very hard time getting her to wear it.  She is good with everything else until we pull the jersey out.   It goes on over this "rainbow" shirt right at game time and comes off the minute the game is over.  This is the only shirt (non-dress) I can get her to wear.  So far she has worn it for every practice and every game.

Don't you love the monster in the background????

Football game

We took the kids to a football game this weekend.  The kids did really well.  First we tailgated and then headed to the game.  We got cheap tickets ($12 you have too when you have this crew) but of course they were very high up.  The kids did great walking.  They walked to the stadium, up the 10 ramps and then all the steps to get to our seats.  I was very proud of them.  They made it for 3 quarters and then we  all had had it.  It was fun to do with our kids though.  I am so glad we can and we do do things like that with them!!!
