Play

Yesterday my kids were being goofy. When I told Lily to get he shoes on for gymnastics she came to the door in rain boots and a clown nose. Later she wanted to pick Ryan up at the bus stop as Buzz Lightyear. As soon as Ryan came in he put some of Lily's pink hair stuff on top of his head and the clown nose on his face. Then he tried to juggle 1 ball. They had me laughing anyway.

Today I hear "Roar! I'm going to eat you!" Then I see this ...

Big Bad Wolf coming around the corner.

And from the other corner come Little Red Riding Hood...

Oh, no! He got her!

It's a good thing her dad came and took her out of his stomach...LOL.

Ryan cracks me up. You may notice there are no eye holes in his mask. He can only see because he glued (oh yes, I said glued) his mask so there was a tiny hole at the bridge of his nose where he could peek out.

They are fun kids, especially when they get along.

Never Forget...

Never forget how cute and innocent they are at 3. Yesterday we went to the Orioles' game with Grandmommy and Granddaddy. Lily didn't watch much of the game, but she found ways to amuse herself. At one point she came over the the seat next to me. She situated herself with her back on the seat and her legs up the back. She played for a while tipping her head over the edge and laughing as if it were the funniest thing in the world. Lily has a very contagious laugh, watching her enjoy herself brings a smile to my face almost all the time. She plays some other games with herself, or so I thought. The next thing I know she's looking over at me with a big grin on her face and says, "The people LOVE me!" I guess she was entertaining the people behind us as well;-) It was so funny because she was just innocently trying to say that the people behind us liked her, but it sounded so diva-esque. One might have thought she was a Broadway star the way she made her proclamation with such confidence and feeling;-)

Sweet Lily

Last night we were sitting at the dinner table and out of the blue Lily said, "You want to know somping[something]? I really love Grandma. She's so cute!"

I thought Grandma might like that;-)

Memorial Day

It's nice to see the real reason for Memorial Day recognized.

Thanks to all those who sacrifice so much.

Did you read the sign? All I have to say to that is AMEN!

Princess Lily

Yesterday Lily informed me that when she grows up she wants to be a princess with all the "stuff", as she made a grand motion from her tiara area and along her imaginary fancy dress. She will have a princess crown, princess shoes, a pretty dress and a bwasewet [bracelet].Then she told me how Ryan is going to make her married like daddy makes me married. (hee) She really loves her big brother. You'd think they would fight less. ::sigh::
I asked her what she would do when she is a princess and she said, "When I'm on the stage I will dance." I suppose she thinks that's what princesses do. It must be why she puts on her princess costumes when she dances. She'll say, "I need to do my dance!" Then she will run up and get a princess dress and shoes. She'll turn on a CD and dance, dance, dance. Sometimes she'll get Ryan to dance with her. They are so cute!
