Playday

Today we went to the Science Museum with friends and had a blast. Tripp loved the iguana. Kassidy's favorite was the Boa. There was also a little room with a black light. She thought it was pretty cool the way anything white looked, she won't stop talking about. The kids played so hard that they were both passed out when we got home. Which by the way never happens. Its is very very very rare that both of them are asleep at the same time. And I knew if I carried them up stairs they would both wake up. So what did I do? I turned off the car, put my seat back and took a 20 min nap in our parking lot! :)

Show time

Tripp you forgot something.

Nemo!

Look close and you can see Dory!

Excuse me its MOM!

Well Tripp decided that I'm not Mom anymore, I'm Tess! What?? Its so hard not to laugh at that kid! He cracks me up. It all started when I wasn't paying 100% attention to him. "Mom, mom, mom, mom, mom, mom, mom, mom, mom, mom, mom. TESS! TESS! TESS! TESS!" And when I finally ask, "What is it Tripp?" His reply is.... "Hi mom." I just think thats hilarious!!!

A little Down

I had an old Down Comforter and I just felt terrible about throwing it out. And it seemed like a pretty easy task to repurpose it. Which it might have been if had I done it before and knew what was going to happen... I wish I had takin a picture!! But I was to determined to finish, and I just didn't think about it... Looking back oh how I wish I had! Worst idea I think I have ever had! There were feathers EVERYWHERE! The queen size comforter is now a twin for Kassidy's bed, and a huge king size pillow! Now that its been done, next time the process will be a whole lot different!!!

Raise Your Glass

Spent the evening with friends and had a blast! Love the holidays! The little ones watched a movie so that us big kids could play a game...

Made it home just in time to change into pajamas and have our cider! :)

Kassidy loved the glasses

Happy New Year!

New and Improved

While the kids were sleeping, Tyler and I reupholstered Tripp's chair. And he loved it. It use to be Kassidy's chair, but somehow Tripp clammed it. He freaks out if Kassidy sits in it.

Kass loved it, and was a bit jealous, so when he took a nap she took over "THE CHAIR"

Before:

After:

Stumpy the Snowman!

Snow that finally stuck! Kassidy has been wanting to play in the snow... but there hasn't been any! This morning we all went out and had a snowball fight. I wasn't sure how Tripp was going to react, because Kassidy didn't like the snow till she was 3, but he loved it!

Another Christmas has come and gone!

Christmas came and gone, and I always feel sad when Christmas is over... I might just leave my tree up till Tyler tells me to take it down. This year was the first time we were not surrounded by family. I did pretty good though. I kept my self very busy and tried not to think about it. Although, when I heard my dad was playing Santa thats when it hit me, I wanted to be there!!! I remember when I was little, my dad was Santa! (not that I knew it was him) Well here is a little preview of our Christmas, and my homemade gifts that were tons of fun to make!(and by the way, I got the ideas from others, cause there no way I could have just thought this stuff up!)

Our Little Family

Im always amazed at the amount of trash after christmas

Santa ate the cookies!!

Felt Truck (this was tons of fun to make!)

Santa gave the kids gloves, but didn't realize Tripp is a Lefty!!!

Magic Cape and accessories

Kass was so dead, Tripp pushed her over and she didn't move!
