Point point, color color, sound sound

Andrew has a toddler game on his phone where you get to point and color on the screen and it makes cool sounds.  Above is a picture of what the screen looks like on the game. 

Marinn has played it a few times and now when she wants to play she'll ask Andrew, 

"Daddy can I play Point Point Color Color Sound Sound?"

So cute! 

....then CRASH!

This morning Marinn was showing me all the scrapes and scratches on her knees and elbows.  She was so animated and cute I couldn't help ask her questions to keep her talking.  I asked how it happened, and she said,

"We were walking and there was the stroller and thennn.... CRASH!" 

It was pretty accurate account... We took a walk last night and she tripped over the stroller.  I love her story telling.  : )   

Man in a Dress

Marinn, "Mom! Come look at Shaw!"

Mom, "What is he doing?"

Marinn, "He is looking pretty, like a girl.  We dressed him up!" 

Shaw crawls out like this... 

I knew this was bound to happen eventually... he has 2 big sisters.  The funny thing is even though he's still little and cute he still looks like a man in a dress! 

Broom Master

Shaw loves my broom.

It's strategically hidden between the fridge and cabinet, but he always finds it. 

He gets it out and just starts pushing it all over the floor.

He laughs and screams and has a ball. 

I always wonder why my kids like to play with certain thing... why is the broom soo intriguing? 

The conclusion I've come to is its big and kind of shaped like a sword (what boy doesn't like a good sword?) and he can swing it around fiercely.

All my Babies...

I love my babies… I look at this picture and feel a since of accomplishment as a mom.

They are all growing up so fast and their personalities seem to be changing all the time. I love watching them change and I often try to imagine what might be next on their journey. 

I love how caring and loving they are towards each other and people in general.

They make me smile and laugh every day and their creative antics always surprise me.  

Even though they come with lots of smelly situations and ideas way to creative for their age that get them in trouble (as we speak Shaw is on his tippy toes trying to open the silverware drawer), days later when I look back I only seem to remember their sweet faces and laughter. 

*I got super lucky capturing this picture... about 1 second later Shaw was half way across the room. Notice Marinn holding everyone still : ) and still striking a pose! 

Baby Powder vs. Baking Powder

As I was making some homemade tortillas the other day, 

Marinn asked, "What is that mom?" As I was measuring out the Baking Powder. 

I respond, "Baking Powder."

She exclaims frantically, "Powder is for BUTTS mom!!!"

I laughed and explained, she still looked a bit confused but accepted my answer.

Silly turkey. Bucket Head. Apple Bottom Jeans.

Taurins three favorite silly sayings.... 

"Apple bottom jeans with the booty fur!"

Anyone who knows Andrew knows that he occasionally says random stuff.  Well he would sing the little phrase, "Apple bottoms jeans! Boots with the fur!"

Taurin picked up on it and made it her own. The way her little voice says it is hilarious!

"Bucket head!"

Andrew calls the girls silly stuff all the time. Taurin now will randomly just call people bucket head or just says it out load out of no where.  Yet again... hilarious!

"Silly Turkey..."

This is from a book called, Red Hat, Green Hat by Sandra Boynton. 

No where in the book says "silly turkey", but one day as Andrew was reading it to the girls whenever they would get to the turkey he'd read the "oops" and then say silly turkey. Taurin thought it was soo funny and started calling people silly turkeys whenever they were silly. The cute thing is she says it more like, "silly tur-tee".
