. i'm not sure why .

... but today we ...

 

played with shorts on our heads?  yes, we did just that.  they look like i forced them to put pink shorts on their heads and sit there for a picture. i wouldn't do such a thing.  but really ... there was hysterical laughing and playing happening just before this.

it was her idea.

 

and they agreed to it too.  oh.  where am i, you wonder?  i do have shorts on my head, but it's my camera and it was in my hands, so there are NO pictures of me acting all crazy.  ok, so mykah wasn't too thrilled.  she's not a fan of things on her head. 

but sissy made it up to her ...

 

sweet sister kisses make EVERYTHING better.

. sweet smiles .

look at this ...

 

isn't she SO STINKIN' CUTE?!?!  i love me some drooly, gummy, baby smiles.  this was all in a five minute time span here.  daddy was making her smile, which isn't hard to do AT ALL.

she's always all smiles.  and is adding teeth to that grin.  melts my heart just looking at it.  i'm so thankful that my children are happy and healthy and these pictures seal the deal.

. letter to karsyn .

(because i want her to hear about this when she's old)

oh, my karsyn.  today you drove me crazy.  seriously.  maybe it was the lack of a nap yesterday.  we'll use that as our excuse anyways.  i'm just being honest here.  we had a long, hard day.  and it all started at breakfast.  you see, i was just trying to make you healthy and happy by making your favorite oatmeal, in an attempt to actually fill you up so you wouldn't ask for a snack thirty minutes into our morning.  in a second attempt, i added a few sprinkles.  just a few, mind you.  enough to make it look appealing anyways.  what kid wouldn't want sprinkles on their oatmeal?  it works on broccoli too!

evidently mommy didn't put enough sprinkles to your liking so you decided to help yourself while i was changing mykah.  in the background, i kept hearing you saying "mmmm" and "dis is nummy".  little did i know ...

 

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?  i just bought that almost $3.00 jar of sprinkles yesterday.  you poured all FOUR little compartments of sprinkles on top of your oatmeal.  who knew that much could fit into that little divided container.  good grief.  and as i stepped back to take a deep breathe and bite my tongue, you started chowing down as fast as you could.  you knew what would happen next.

in case you missed it ... here's a closer picture of what you were indulging in.  

  

would you like some oatmeal with your sprinkles, kid?  good night nurse. 

my SWEET girl,  mommy did not let you eat the bowl-o-SUGAR although you wanted to.  and i now will KNOW to put the sprinkles out of arms reach.  far, far, FAR out of reach.  AND, i now will KNOW to buy sprinkles at the dollar store.

xoxo

mommy

p.s.  next, i think i'll write a letter to the maker of the cute little divided container that the sprinles came in and see if they can make them CHILD-PROOF! 

. wordless wednesday .

 

 

. and so it begins .

we've known for a week or so that sweet baby was able to pull up and stand.  she kept her new trick limited only to when she was in her bed though, until now.  and i knew the time would come when i would have to re-baby proof everything, but little did i know it would have to happen before sweet baby was even 8 months old. 

now i know that she can pull up to karsyn's little table, grab her lunch, and enjoy ...

 

so she had a little treat.  what's it to ya?  she sure enjoyed it.  karsyn, on the other hand, did not like little sister eating her lunch.  in fact, she screamed like a school girl making me think something terrible had happened.  and seriously, i turned my back for a second. 

and, for you curious minds, this made for bath #2 today.  it's looking like today is going to be a 3 bath kind of day for my gals.
