Slidin' on down!

'g2' discovered her LOVE of sliding today!

You can see she's a bit apprehensive at first...

[Love how her wee tongue is set just so...]

That's Gma helping her at the top...thank you Gma!

I took my "catcher's" position at the bottom...

[plus it's the best spot for taking pictures!]

 But she caught on to this whole thing BEFORE she hits the bottom!

 Just look at that gleeful, twisted smile!

 Oh I think she likes it! She likes it A LOT!!!

 Check out that electrified hair!

 She was SUPER charged by the time she got to the bottom!

I made sure I let her hop OFF the slide onto the ground before I touched her...

Although a couple times I forgot!

We spent a ton of time at the slide today!

Both girlz sliding, climbing & running to start it all over again!

They both LOVED it!

'c's pics to follow...

Park Pics...

We are at the Grandparents' house for a few days while our flooring gets done...

So we took the kiddos over to the park...

I'm trying to brush off the cobwebs of the few little things I thought I once knew about 'making' pictures...

Here are a few of my faves...

Let's start with Miss 'z'...

 When I walked into the park and saw this new piece of equipment...

I knew EXACTLY what I wanted to do with it!

 Loooove the schwoopy schwirl and how 'z' is right in the heart of it!

And this one of her oh so happy, laughy, smiley, joyful giggly self emerging ...

Terrific colour combo too!

Her red shirt and that periwinkley purple of the schwirl!!!

I do believe I have the PERFECT pp to match!

Can't wait to scrap these pics!

- - - - -

'S's favorite colour is ORANGE...

He was thrilled when he saw this new piece of equipment on the playground!

 He enjoyed climbing ALL over it...

- - - - -

 The 'babez' were RUNNING  all over the place!

The area now has a fence surrounding it so it was the best place for them to run amok!

And they just went for it!

 After a while...

'c' ended up on a swing with Gma...

 But 'g2' just kept right on truckin'!!!

I was getting dizzy watching her burn up lap after lap after lap around the playground and fields! 

That girl wore me out and I wasn't even running!

- - - - -

Well, that's enough pics for now.

Tomorrow I'll post several more...

The ones from the slides are HILARIOUS!

Gotta love static electricity combined with fine, floaty toddler hair!

;o)

I don't think so...

We're clearing out EVERYTHING in preparation for some new flooring that is being put down in our main living area...

The babez decided that the book shelf was the PERFECT place for a double decker snooze!

Silly monkeys!

I don't think they are quite ready for bunk beds just yet...

Don't forget...

So I made a batch of these Chocolate Diablo Cookies today...

 See this post for the recipe...

http://whozhungry.blogspot.com/2011/06/chocolate-diablo-cookies.html

I wasn't sure if the wee ones would like them...

 Miss 'C' LOVED them!

 So did Miss 'g2' !

They munched away...

Enjoying their slurps of milk as needed...

 But the thing that really warmed my heart....

[Remember these are Dark Chocolate & Chili cookies...?]

Seeing 'g2' SHARE her beloved cookie with her beloved big sis!

It doesn't get much sweeter than that!

Guess what Miss 'C' LOVES...?

Let me start by saying...

I do NOT enjoy RAW onions on anything!

Even raw green onions are a stretch for me...

BUT...

I have discovered 'caramelized onions'...

I LOVE THEM!

On many thingz!

BBQ'd chicken 'za for one!

So today I was caramelizing a bunch of onions...

[They take about 30-40 minutes to transform themselves so I like to make up a bunch and keep them in the fridge.]

Miss 'C' wanders into the kitchen and seems interested in trying them...

So, we give it a go...

dh drops in a small handful...

[sorry the pic is blurry]

 I am ready for the immediate "regurge" reaction...

 There isn't any!

 She DEVOURS several more mouthfuls!!!

I actually had to cut her off....

She was eating the WHOLE pan!!!!

I started with 5 BIG onions!

I'm pretty sure she ate at least 1... if not 2!

I think I've created a 'monster'!

Good thing onions are inexpensive!

Have YOU tried caramelized onions?

You should.

Just sayin'...

Shhhhh.... "baby" sleeping...

Caught this little cherub asnooze on the couch this afternoon...

 Grabbed my camera for the usual 'bevvy' of shots...

 This one HAD to be shown!

And check out this cute wee curl...

I know, shocking that I'm only sharing 3!

That's pretty good for me.

I'll use the other ones on a lo sometime...

I might even get one printed big enough for display somewhere in the house...

I have many bare walls that could use a bit of spiffying up!

Obedient Book-Lovin' Babez!

Here's what they do when you ask them to go get some books and sit on the couch...

 They are all dressed and ready for the day!

 See how their little mouths are open...

They are "reading"... sort of a sing-songy kind of reading...

It's a terrific sound!

When I called to them...

'g2' turned and looked...

'c' was just too IN to her book to bother.

Sweet silly monkeys!

Miss 'c' in sepia...

Snapped this one today...

Right after breakfast with her messy milk mouth.

Just some more of our "everydayness".

Here's what Miss 'g2' was up to...

She'd been up for a while and already eaten breakfast.

So while Miss 'c' was munching away...

'g2' was removing her daily togs and enjoying a few books.

She's very good with the removal part...

I get tired of redressing and 

redressing and 

redressing and 

redressing and 

redressing and 

redressing and 

redressing and

 redressing and 

redressing...

See, aren't you tired?

And you're just reading it!

:o)

Big Brothers...

...they're good for many things...

This is one of them...

And it's so nice that he can accommodate BOTH of them!

A place for everyone and everyone in their place!

Thanks BIG Brother!

Good morning!

Here's what some of  my mornings look like...

 My two cherubs navigating their bowls of cereal and milk...

 They do pretty well...

...bibs help with the splish-sploshing milk...

Hope this morning was a good one for you!

Another deck day...

It's starting to warm up consistently...

Babez enjoyed another morning on the deck...

Eating some blueberries...

Check out their glasses!

 'g2' showing off her "cheese"...

Poking back the yummy blueberries!

Mmmm...

Let's hope June has some MUCH better weather for us than April & May did!

- - - - -
Remember, if you click on the picture it will get BIGGER!
So you can see these cutie-pa-twoties a lot better!
;o )

It's actually HOT enough today!!!

Hot enough for what you may ask...

For THIS!

 Hot enough for the babez to play with water out on the deck!!!

 Hot enough for them to be soaking wet and me NOT having to worry about them freezing their tiny tushies off!

Hot enough for them to be out there for over an hour just enjoying their water play!!!

Yay!!!

Thank you Spring!

Happy Birthday 'S'!

Today is ds 11th bday...

Yes, he's a keeper!

Happy 11th Birthday!

Trying...

We're not really sure WHERE Spring is...

The temperature could still use a good 10 degree raise...

But today, with the sun shining on the deck...

The babez enjoyed their morning playtime out there!

Even snacktime!

Here's a pic of 'g2'..

Pardon her sweet graham cracker crumby face...

Here they both are...
'g2' diving into the bowl of grapes for another fist full...
while 'c' happily munches her graham cracker...

IF it's warm enough where you are...
Enjoy a snack outside!
Come on Spring!
I know you're out there somewhere!

Busy, busy, busy...

This is what 'g2' likes to do while I am busy changing 'c's poopy diaper...

Good thing it wasn't a 'blow out'...

She'd have emptied the whole cupboard!

;o)

Such a "cheesey" smile.

Ketchup Kuties...

I don't get it...

But they LOVE it!

lol...

 Love how she's trying to clean up her face with her tongue!

 Not sure how to clean the hand...

 Just lick it too!

Everyone together now...

Awww...

;o)
Here's 'c'...

 She was so into it, she wouldn't even look my way!
lol...

Such a face...

On the way out the door to watch ds play soccer...

This is one of the faces I left behind...

So... who is it?

Street Maintenance...

I LOVE IT!

lol...

Not so much when I am driving...

But it keeps the totz intrigued and occupied!

Works for me!

I'm pretty sure...

...that if I did this...

...took my pants down and danced in the front window...

Somebody would call the police!!!

But with these two...

It's just WAY TOO CUTE!

LOL...

Yes, here is your monthly peek at the girlz...

I figure I can keep up with posting one pic a month...

I really will try for more...

But this way there's no stress!

And YES...

I am aware that I missed January!

I might just surprise you...you'll have to wait and see...

They are growing like weeds....

And if you've seen my garden lately you'd know just how much that's true!

Ugh!

Another thing that NEEDS doing...

Don't get me started...

Anyhow, these two are doing things just because THEY CAN!!!

I'm sure you don't remember being this small...

But once you discover that you can actually UNCOVER yourself...

Well....that's pretty much ALL you want to do!

lol...

Yes, it is funny...

But...when there's TWO of them and all you do all day is run after them and put their clothes back ON...

It gets to be a bit much...

Can't wait for the weather to warm up a bit so I don't have to worry about them being cold!

You'll notice that they have onesies on...

They haven't figured out how to unsnap those...yet...!
Once they do.... they really would be naked and in the window!
They DO know how to take their diapers off!
The onesies keep those ON!
And for that I am very thankful!
So, you don't have to drop 'trou' and boogie...
but IF you do stay AWAY from your windows!
I am not responsible for anything that might result from that!
Just keep that smile on your face and join the babez in a little dance right now...
Come on...
You know you wanna!
Enjoy!
Make it a good day!

Gotcha!!!

Well I thought I should post a quick pic of the "babez"...

They were engrossed with Cheerios on the kitchen floor this morning...

I grabbed my camera, hoped for decent settings and then called out to them...

"Hey Girlz, where's your CHEESE?!"

This is what I captured...

Click on it if you need to see their super cuteness even BIGGER!

Have a great day!
