Feb 2, 2011 Katherine treated us to a fashion show this night using her dress-up clothes. I laid down an old comforter and she pretended it was her runway. What style she's got!
Feb 3, 2011 One of the things that makes Daniel laugh the most is this squirt bottle. He points it at himself, gives his face a good spray, and cracks up!
Apparently feeding himself puffs is also hilarious to Daniel.
More lollipop sharing! If you ignore the germ factor, it's pretty nice of her to give some to her little brudder. We'll ignore that part and focus on her sharing. ;)
Feb 4, 2011 Partners in crime! Any time Daniel tries to get snacks from the pantry, Inky is right there to cheer him on and help clean up anything that hits the floor.
Feb 5, 2011 Katherine stuck this glob of Play-Doh to her forehead and told me she got a big owie! Silly girl.
Feb 6, 2011 Daniel loves big hats and I love this funny face. I dare you to try not to laugh when looking at it.
Feb 7, 2011 A boy and his dog.
Feb 8, 2011 Our friend Emma owns a great little store in Emmaus called Cottage. They have lovely things for your home, fun toys for kids, and some unique and adorable clothing for kids too. Emma also offers craft times, and this day we got to go and make Valentines with some of Katherine's friends. Some glue, lots of glitter - seriously, LOTS! - and a happy girl who loves to make crafts.
Feb 9, 2011 These moments when they play nicely together are the best. :)
Feb 10, 2011 Katherine used her foam letter mats to spell out the name of her "husband". Fred (from Scooby Doo) is the original husband on her "list of husbands", but she says when she's done with him, she will marry Prince Charming. At least she picks cute boys!
One of Katherine's favorite things to do is go to Perkins for dinner on kids night. Usually they have one character dressed up visiting during dinner, but sometimes they have face painting. Both are hits with her!
All done! Katherine as a kitty cat.
Feb 11, 2011 Katherine has been taking a gym class called Tumble Bears at the East Penn Childrens Fitness Academy and she loves it! Sometimes after her class they offer an "open tumble" time where anyone who is 1-5 years old can some and play. Daniel was so happy to be able to run around in the gym and play in the ballpit.
Feb 12, 2011 I think when you can get yourself into the highchair, ya might just be a smidge too big to use it!
Chef Katherine loved making some sugar cookies for Valentines Day. Much like her use of glitter during craft time, her use of sprinkles was quite generous. That's baking 3-year-old style for you!
Feb 13, 2011 Daniel has some pretty good soccer skills inherited from his daddy and can dribble the ball nicely already. Too bad he'd be out of the game with a red card since he also likes to pick up the ball!
Katherine is a pretty quick little runner! She's excited to be doing a series of kids races organized by a local running club this summer. She sometimes runs laps around the house and tells us she is "practicing for the kids half-marathon".
Daniel loves his Grandpa. He gets so excited when we say we will see him and yells "Pa! Pa!".
Katherine and Gram had a fun time playing My Little Ponies together.
Feb 14, 2011 Happy Valentines Day! Daniel tried feeding himself with a fork at breakfast and did a great job. We were amazed at how quickly he picked that up.
Katherine exchanged Valentines Day cards with the other children in her preschool class this morning. She loved coming home, dumping out her bag of cards, seeing the characters on them, and finding treats attached to many of them. She told me, "I really like the sugary things!". It was a nice day of love with my favorite little people, and Brendan surprised both me and Katherine with our own flowers when he came home from work at night.
Feb 15, 2011 Open Tumble time at the kids gym is always a great way to burn off some energy! Katherine and Daniel both enjoyed running around and climbing on everything.
We met up with our friend Sarah and her two boys for dinner at Five Guys. Katherine and Riley had just bumped into each other and knocked heads a bit, so they had about a hundred hugs afterward to make things better.
Feb 16, 2011 This is Katherine "puhtending to be Mommy"! I guess she has noticed me flipping my sunglasses back on my head when we come inside. She's a sharp kid!
Feb 17, 2011 We thought we were buying a giant package of diapers from BJs, but as it turns out, we also got a good two days of entertainment value out of them! Both kids loved climbing on the packages and running off, and pretending that they were sleds.
Feb 18, 2011 We had one of those glorious warm days where we just had to play outside as much as we could. With weather in the mid-60's in February, it was such a treat to be outside playing with sidewalk chalk and running around.
Feb 21, 2011 Eight years ago this day, I had no idea these precious little kiddos would come of that fateful night at Callahan's. Happy Guinness Toast Day! :)
Daniel is holding a train,which blends into the kitchen in back of him. He's not actually angry at me for taking the picture.
Open tumble time was extra fun because our neighbors Callum and Fiona came to play also.
Daniel was too tired to finish lunch after we came home from the gym and he fell asleep right in his highchair.
Feb 23, 2011 Nice goal, D!
Feb 24, 2011 Katherine made a crayon "ladder". I think she would be happy to sit and color all.day.long if I let her!
Feb 25, 2011 Date night for us! Katherine had a great time helping Sarah assemble this adorable balloon wreath for her little guy Jonah's first birthday party while we were out to dinner. Again, the Christmas dress. That really might be the best $11 I've ever spent, she loves to wear it!
Feb 26, 2011 Katherine attended a birthday party this morning for her good friend, Brooke. It was a princess-themed party, so she was really in her element! What's better than princesses, cake, and friends.
Katherine rocked at the "stick the tiara on Cinderella" game! Check out that precision, pretty amazing for being blindfolded.
Brooke's dad had four kids on him for a piggyback (slash piggyside and piggyfront?) ride. They all thought it was hilarious!
This is a face of a happy boy who approved of our idea.
If you're familiar at all with sign language, this is the sign for "more"! He was signing as fast as he could and saying "more, more, more" after he tasted the first bite. That's my boy!
Feb 27, 2011 Another day of beautiful, unseasonably warm weather, so we took a wagon ride over to the neighborhood playground for some fun before naps.
