Random Friday Stuff

I think b/c it's cold out, and we aren't outside as much, I don't take any pictures b/c the lighting always seems to suck, and therefore, I have nothing to post about!! Shame shame!

Today, however, it is BEAUTIFUL outside...I spent my lunch-break sitting in the waiting room at the car wash...the truck needed a "bath" big-time...it was well worth it. The kids are up in Bluemont so I'm sure they've been outside all day long...I MADE Chase get out of his PJ's this time, for the record...he did wear his cammo rain boots though!

Here are a few pictures over the last few weeks of the kids adventures...baby-doll zip wire...courtesy of Chase and his boobie-traps...OK, the "praying baby doll" on there was my idea, but he loved it :o) She was a perfect fit b/c her hands are sewn clasped together!

We started soccer (I didn't realize I do this...looking through pictures it seems like I must have my hand on my hip at all times...weird! Gotta stop that one...). Chase is in the 2-3 year old class for the rest of the session so he can get used to things...he's doing really well. ADDY was super-excited for the first day of soccer, but we got there a bit early, and she was really fired up to play (I wish I would have gotten her on video!!) so by the time warm-up was done, and we needed to do circle time, she had a complete melt down and daddy had to take her out of the class. I think we'll take her back this weekend to see how she does...hopefully I'll get cute pictures of Chase in his uniform...IF he will cooperate!

Addy loving on her binky and blankie...she has gotten really bad...she MUST HAVE both at the same time or she starts whining...I try to keep her blankie upstairs (it's hand-made by a friend of the family...and we're on #2...so I'm trying to preserve it as long as possible!!) so Chase doesn't pester her by yanking it out of her hands, which always results in a tearful, emotional pity-party by miss priss

And here's Chase in his sexy spider-man boxers and red "cars" socks...NO he isn't potty-trained...I think he's too lazy/busy...he knows how to go on the potty, and he wants to wear big-boy pants, but he gets preoccupied and forgets he doesn't have a pull-up on...even when I ask 800 times in the span of an hour...I need to get a game-plan together...Chase has been in pull-ups for over a year now (in combination with diapers) b/c they are just SO much easier to wrestle him into them...and those puppies are EXPENSIVE! I'm going to get the Target brand this weekend, they're like half price, I'm sure they don't work as good, so hopefully he will be uncomfortable enough to "grow up kid!" <--man, I'm harsh! Also? He refuses to take pictures right now...that's why he's running away from me

Addy on the other hand is FINALLY loving having her picture taken...she is so funny...I asked her to smile, and she pulled out her binky just so I could take her picture...silly girl. Her foot looks HUGE in this picture...she has the smallest feet in the world...she still wears 6-12 month socks :o)
