Terrible Twos

My favorite little holy terror has been on fire this week... lucky me.

Veggies & Junk

Lexi is one of the rare silly kids that likes vegetables just as much as junk food. I can't feel TOO bad about letting her eat snack when she finishes off the healthy stuff.

Switching Rooms

When we moved here a month ago, Lexi was given the bigger room out of the kids rooms. Mainly because she was older and because the previous occupants had painted the smaller room green in anticipation of their twin boys. Our plan was to paint her room pink and yellow, but we haven't gotten around to it yet. It is a good thing we have been too busy to do that or it would have made our decision to switch rooms more difficult.

Her room has been a little bit of a problem. The bigger room is over the garage and has a window that looks out to the driveway. No matter how many times she got in trouble, Lexi couldn't ignore the temptation to crumple up the blinds to see if her dad's truck was here. She would also wake up when he hit the beeper to unlock the door. We're hoping that moving to the next room will take care of the problem. It has only been a few hours, but so far she seems to be enjoying the switch. The test will come tomorrow morning.

Summer Yum

This heat wave of a summer has been tough to handle, but popsicles sure help. Just ask Miss Blue Face. -Yes, I put her in the high chair when eating popsicles so that there is no way this color ends up on our carpet or anywhere else.

Father's Day

We didn't do very much for Father's Day. Besides the fact that Steve has been working WAY too much, he was in a deep funk. Father's Day is bitter sweet for him because his mom's died the Friday before his first one. It has been two years now.

Our weekend was far from exciting. He slept a lot, so I took the kids to the waterpark to give him quiet time. Besides gifts and cards, I made his favorite meal for dinner (lasagna). Hopefully, it was the perfect medicine.

Even More Nursery Rhymes

More nursery rhymes from Lexi (not perfect, but perfectly funny):

Sleeping In?

Silly dad still thinks that sleeping in on the weekend is a possibility. Lexi makes sure that doesn't happen. Once I get her up (open her door) and take her to the bathroom, dad is fair game. He gets bounced on, hugged, kisses, tickled and just about anything a two year old can come up with. I put Jordan on the bed to help make it even more fun.

Another Nursery Rhyme

I have a feeling there are going to be several upcoming posts on nursery rhymes. At lunch today, Lexi was reciting a few I had no idea that she knew. So...more to come.
