Three blogs in one day??? What is up with that??? Ironically, I did something similar last January and caught up. Obviously, it isn’t realistic to set a new year’s resolution to blog on a regular basis because I’ll break it before I make it.
We had a fabulous evening tonight. The weather was PERFECT and thankfully, the neighbors were around to enjoy it with us. We had 6 kids out in the cul-de-sac and at least twice as many vehicles. I have yet to get a picture of Hunter on his Lightning McQueen bike, but tonight was his first night to ride it independently. I think he was showing off a bit, so he didn’t want much help, but he did take some advice and learned how to use the brakes, so we are making progress for sure.
Jenna seems to be more brave than the last time we were out on the street with friends. She’s getting closer and closer to Bella, the dog, and she is exploring the various bikes and scooters, calling all the Princess or Barbie insignia “Emma” – not sure if that is because her friend Emma always wears characters on her clothes? Or if she has just associated Emma with pretty girls? No clue, but it’s cute!
This scooter is Megan’s, who is 10 months older than Jenna and wasn’t outside with us tonight, but her brother brought it out of the garage and all the kids wanted to ride it. Jenna was the only one light enough to make it go because the battery needed recharging. She really had a great time, and Hunter did too even though there isn’t picture evidence. :)
So after our outing, we came inside for dinner. Talk about starving kiddos…Jenna missed snack at school because I picked them up early to go home and enjoy the weather, so she immediately went to the table for crackers while Hunter and I scrambled some eggs for dinner. (I could go on and on about dinner and how wonderful it was, but people are sick of me talking about food by now….I get it.)
After dinner, Hunter wanted to play his “game” on my iPad. And Jenna wanted to watch his every move (very typical – he is her American Idol, no doubt).
Ah, the rare picture where I catch Jenna smiling AND her eyes open!!! Of course, I took a zillion pics of her and only got a few keepers.
Daddy was working (busy time of year for both of us right now) and Jenna was admiring him…really wanting to type on his laptop with him. She’s giving him the stare down here…
And because I took so many shots of Jenna, Hunter finally took a break from the iPad and asked to say CHEESE. What a handsome little man we created….gotta love him…
After a long day and wonderful evening, those babies were tired. So tired that Hunter didn’t complain when I told him he had to turn the computer off and head upstairs. So tired that Jenna was laying her head down on the ottoman…snuggling with the leather. So tired that they cackled at each other in the bathtub and I SO wished I had brought my video camera upstairs with me. I need blackmail pictures and videos before they are too old to bathe together….they have so much fun (most of the time). It’s a joy!!!
