I was catching up on my Google Reader today as I often do during nap time and was reading the most recent post from Amanda Andrews and she just started “Mine on Mondays” and I absolutely love this idea and going to do it right along with her. My blog was first started to document my children’s lives since I no longer had much time to scrapbook. And I fully admit I am horrible about printing pictures or when I do print them, putting them in albums, so I use my blog for this. You may have even noticed one of my categories on my blog is “so I don’t forget”…well, that has been lacking lately and I want to get back into it. So I am declaring Monday blog posts MINE (I may throw in other days here and there too)!
Stories of what is going on in our lives, what my kids are up to, snapshots of them, funny stories….I guess whatever my heart desires to post about on Monday. Eeekkk…I love it – thanks so much for getting me started on this, Amanda! So, anyone else interested in this also??? If so, be sure to go check out Amanda’s blog as she is having a little giveaway on her blog for bloggers that join her in this! Fun, Fun!
Soooo…what to share today???
Our Christmas was fabulous. The kids are at great ages where they both really got into it this year. So much fun to experience Christmas through the eyes of a child again – I love it! Teagun (or maybe I should say Trevor) got a new Wii racing game and has been quite busy playing that. Emery got a playhouse and lots of new dolls and dress-up clothes…she is in heaven taking care of her “babies” in her house. So fun!
A little funny thing Emery is saying lately (so I don’t forget…wait, that’s what this is about, right??) is “No, thank you!” (imagine “no, tank you” in this sweet tiny little voice) – well, she says this for everything now, which is a good thing, I am not complaining at all about that. But it is quite funny when she is throwing a fit and I tell her she needs to quit crying or she is going to go to time out and she responds (fully in tantrum mode still) “No, tank you, Mommy!” So polite even in the middle of a tantrum…lol. It is amazing how quickly she is growing up – and so sad at the same time!
Here is a picture of the kids I took in their Christmas outfits. I can never get them together, so I am loving this!
And a couple just of Emery because I have to show off her beautiful dress. It is from The Nest Baby Boutique. I won the dress and it is seriously so gorgeous! Go check out their stuff – super cute!
And just ignore her silly fake smile. Every time I pull out the camera lately, that is the only face I get. At least she is looking at me though!
