He's everywhere!

Craig and i were having fun with the camera!

I want to do it again when the house is clean. It could look awesome! but this is pretty sweet!

Final Decision

We talked with Craig about how it's ok for him to let us know when he doesn't like something or doesn't want to do something so that if we need to we can talk about other options. But when we've made our final decision it's time to say OK and not try to change it anymore.

He has decided that this tactic works on us too.

If he really wants to do something he'll say. "Mama I'm just gonna do this... and that's my final decision!"

Just now he was helping K.C. put together a little table and K.C. was trying to get him to go potty first. After some talking about it daddy said "Why don't you help me finish this and then you can run to the potty?"

Craig's response was "Yep! That's my final decision!"

What a funny little guy

Hair Cut

So K.C. and I discovered that we both like the idea of me having long hair... but in actuality we love the pictures of it short. So... I chopped it off.

It was hard to say good bye to that much hair! Seriously there were 5 dustpans heaping full of hair. Sad day. But not really. I've been growing my hair out forever but I've mostly just been annoyed with it for quite a while so it was a good change. :)

Now I need to try it curly and see how that goes!

Wanda Knows: Snakes

Episode 25 - Wanda Knows Snakes

I have to apologize for my terrible neglect of the Wanda knows series. Although I have not posted them it does not mean that they are not alive and well. :) On the way home from the farm this happened and re-inspired me to post some of the ones that I've been trying to remember! enjoy.

The Background: Driving home from the farm in Nevada Wanda was explaining how she thought she had not done anything that at least one of her brothers or sisters had done, but then she realized that she was wrong. She had once gone to the house of a boy who had been featured in the news for having more than 100 animals in his back yard. 

Wanda: "This guy had lots of animals but the only ones that he left out for us to pet were the Boa Constructor and the alligator because the others were too dangerous."

K.C.: "Wait a minute, did you say Boa Constructor?"

Wanda: "Yes, Boa Constructor. You know, it's a big snake."

From the mouth of Craig

Here's how it went:

K.C. Realizing that he didn't have enough strap for his project: "Lame!"

Craig from the other part of the room: "Daddy, what does 'lame' mean?"

K.C. a little surprised that Craig was paying attention: "It means that it's not good, that it didn't turn out right. I messed up when I bought this strap and since I didn't do it right I said 'lame'."

Craig: "It's O.K. daddy, why don't you just try it again? Here I'll help you have one more chance. Let's do it!"

~*~

K.C. laid down on his back and put his hands behind his head. Because of where he was sitting he ended up half laying in Savannah's track. Craig immediately ran over and laid down on the other end of the track with his head against K.C.'s and his hands behind his head. He loves to be just like daddy!

When I came over to see how adorable it was K.C. said, "Are you just like daddy Craig? Hey are we a match?!"

Craig flipped around onto his hands and knees and peered down at his body, then looked at daddy..."No! Silly daddy, we are not a match! Our shirts are not the same." Then in delight he ran over and stuck his knee next to daddy's. "But daddy our pants are a match! Look they are the same!"

He is such a cute kid! I love the things he says!

~*~

Then while I've been typing this he's been sitting here playing with K.C. and cracking both of us up! He's on a roll tonight. He asked "Daddy can you please open the game that I was playing? Jump Start is my GREATEST game ever!"

I pulled out my phone and tried to get him to say it again. So this is the clip we got. It's kind of long. and he never really said that part again but it's is still full of priceless bits of Craigs cute personality and his hillarious way of expressing himself. Enjoy.

P.S. sorry that's it's blurry I was laughing pretty much the whole time and it didn't exactly help my filming!

No time

I've realized something now that we have 2 kids... I don't ever have time to blog!

There's so many things that I need to update. I'm getting the itch to get caught up but everytime I sit down at the computer I've been spending my time catching up on photo shoots. So now that that is a little more under control I'm going to spend sometime on myself! - next time. :)
