Hungry Hungry Hippos

This game is a big hit at our house, especially with Eden!

Crazy Sleeper

Every bedtime, Milan insists that she's not tired.  Saturday night we did our normal routine, turned on the lamp, moved the kitchen to the hall (so it's less scary), and let her sleep in her sleeping bag on top of her bed.  She fell right out of bed and slept on the floor all night....guess she was tired after all :)

Little Nut

Eden's at a fun little age so I wanted to jot down some random facts about this little nut! 

She LOVES to climb everything that she can.....totes, the stool, and over the bathtub if we would let her.

Whenever Milan is playing on her bed, Eden drags the stool right over to the bed and hops on up.  She likes to pretend that she can jump just like Milan, but hasn't mastered leaving the ground yet.

 Eden likes to be a part of everything.  Today she couldn't resist climbing on Dave's book and "helping" him study.  She has a cute way of pushing me away from whatever I am doing if she wants me to pick her up.

 Eden LOVES bath time!  She's too splashy for Milan, so she gets to spend some solo time in the tub.  Her favorite part is laying down and kicking.   

 Eden thinks running around naked is pretty funny.  She's even tested out the potty a couple of times.

Eden loves, loves, loves babies.  She's at that age where she points at every 2 year old at Wal-mart and says "baby!" When she sees any kind of animal, she starts panting. She will not hold hands, she likes to be an independent little walker.  If she's in the right mood, she gives great hugs and very wet kisses.  This little girl DOES NOT like teething and lets us all know about it.  She loves sleeping and usually laughs out of pure joy whenever we lay her down for bedtime.  She still loves her blankie.  She's usually a great little eater.  5:00 is the absolute latest that we can have dinner or it's a total meltdown....she is happiest if we have dinner at 4:15.  Her favorite word is mine and she also likes to say dog, juice, uh-oh, hot, duck, fish, cookie, blankie, baby, cold, yes, no, ball, please, thank you, welcome, go, shoes, okay, and kiss.  If she doesn't know the right word, she just eh-eh's until we guess the right thing.  Needless to say, we love this little nut!

Our Little Soccer All-star

Milan's a little all-star in training.  The first game she spent her time flirting with the boys on the other team.  The second game, she ran around the court 20 feet behind the pack of kids with the ball.  She hasn't actually touched the ball during a game yet......she told us that it's not nice to take the ball from other people.  She looks cute in her pink socks and light-up princess shoes and she's having a fun time!

 Eden can be found kicking the ball around the sidelines or just carrying the ball around the court.

Their favorite part is the after-game treat.  Dave and I just love watching the whole spectacle....3 year old soccer is hilarious!!!

Preschool Fun

Last friday was a pajama party, pizza party, and crazy hair day at preschool.  Milan wore her very favorite Aeriel jammies and told me she wanted lots of ponytails in her hair.  She had a great time, but was kind of bummed because all of her preschool friends thought her hair was cute, not crazy.  We'll have to get super crazy next time!

Private

I decided to make this blog private because I just noticed a follower named Kold Kadavr Flatliner.....you can check out his profile under followers......he's a creepy creepster!  He sounds like a religious freak so I think he found our blog because of Eden's name.  I did a little research and it looks like he's a creepy creepster to a lot of people all over the internet so I think I'll be able to sleep tonight after all.  We'll go back to our regularly scheduled program of cute little red heads soon :)

Swimming, Jumping, Hiding

We have been out and about all week so my kids don't go crazy inside our house.  Laramie has a really nice rec center so we've been swimming, working out, and playing indoor soccer.  The girls really love the pool......

 Notice how Eden is pretty dry in this picture....she prefers to just walk around the pool.

 Here's Milan jumping with some friends at a birthday party!

We have to get creative while we're at home so the kids don't get super bored.  This was their hiding spot for a family game of hide-n-seek.

We even tried out finger painting and it wasn't as messy as I feared.  Of course, Eden was napping at the time so that helps......

We also have a lot of play dates. Milan loves having friends for dress-up and tea parties and Eden is just happy to follow the girls around.

Eden really wants to be part of everything now. Whenever one of us is getting ready to go, she brings her boots over to let us know that she is planning on coming too. She loves to walk around the house and talk to herself. Here she is practicing getting on and off the bed so she will be all ready to jump with Milan next time....
