All in the Same Size

Oh my, we did it again! Warm sunny days call for shorts. Put something new in Mason's drawer and he will find it. A "new" pair of shorts showed up in his drawer and guess what size they are.......18 months! How he squeezed himself into these is beyond me and why he kept squeezing into them is a mystery. He was disappointed when I told him he had to go change and he didn't have a new pair os shorts to wear for the day!

Guess the Size

This afternoon Ellery came to me and told me that her pants were leaving a mark on her. I asked her if she wanted to change and she told me no, she is fine. As I examined her closer I realized she wasn't wearing her shorts, but her brothers shorts. Her younger brother that is who wears 12-18 month old shorts! She is our little bit! A little bit packed with a mighty mind! The sad part is that it was a tiny tiny indention on her skin. It wasn't bothersome enough for her to go change, I think seeing her skin change ever so slightly was more disturbing to her! Like always I will point the finger to Rob, but he doesn't do laundry very often so this blame is a bigger stretch than most! I'll just place it on my ever so building "mother of the year" nomination form.

Dressing

Ellery is working on dressing herself! What a thought to have two children that can dress themselves. She does great as long as her undies are set out for her. If she has to do any figuring out how they go on, they go on like this. I can't imagine how uncomfortable that it, but it doesn't seem to bother her!

From Cheerleader to Volleyball

We have now progressed from Cheerleader to Volleyball player. Ellery loves wearing her outfit now minus the skirt!

GO KU

Better start saving our pennies now so she can go to KU.

Shoe Tie

Mason can tie his shoes! Finally! We bought a pair of tie shoes a month ago and set the rule that he could wear them if he learned how to tie them. The skill took more work than what Mason anticipated so he chose not to wear them. On went life and a few weeks later we decided to try again. Mason likes the Cars 2 matchbox cars so we decided to use them as incentive. Yeah, it worked. If he tied his shoes 7 times he would get the yellow car. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 I get a car-Yellow!

Hand Me Downs

Oh, I can't even blame this one on Rob. The mornings can be a hustle and a bustle around here. I find it more at ease by simply picking out clothes the night before. I am not sure what it is about having everything already out, but it seems to make our mornings a smoother routine!

I didn't pre pick clothes and the picture doesn't do it justice and I am glad you can't see that Bryson has mini ruffles around his wrists! Of course this is a day with planned outings. I left him in his coat when I could. The part I find most hilarious is that Rob noticed. I thought I could sneak it by him, but he was more ontop of his game than I anticipated! I tried to say, this is what you picked out, but he didn't fall for my lies!

Note: The naked baby in the background. Ellery loves to take clothes off of everything. It it can be removed she takes it off! Hmmmmm, what is that about? She is nice to them and gives them a blanket. When I ask why do they need a blanket she says they are cold mom they don't have clothes on, with a duh mom look on her face. Yet when I ask why don't you put clothes on them so they won't be cold I am met with silence and a cold shoulder that had to quickly get back to tending to her cold babies!

Egyptian Girl

Grandma Ellen has been cleaning things out and found this Egyptian head piece that she bought while visiting. She thought Ellery would enjoy it and boy was she correct. Ellery loves wearing it. She really enjoys wearing it backwards, she likes the beads going across her face.

Also, Ellery is loving anything princess. She asked me if I would call Tangled aka Rapunzel on the phone and ask her to come over and play with her and if she could come live with us!

Super Heros

Our neighbor was getting rid of some old super hero costumes and thought of us. The Superman costume has biceps you velcro on and as you pump your muscles up and down they bulge. Who wouldn't love that?

Fat Guy in A Little Coat

Sometimes when I turn my back I get a good chuckle while other times are more trying. Today's happen to give me a chuckle. Ellery squeezed herself into Bryon's jacket. If only she would have laughed when I started singing the Tommy Boy song fat guy in a little coat. Oh, I hate that movie, but that scene makes me laugh every time. She also squeezed her arm into an empty toilet paper holder.

Welcome

Never a dull moment around here. Rob and I went outside to look at garage door colors and when we come back around to the front door we are greeted by this beauty. One will never know why she took off all her clothes and decided to dance in front of the open front door?

Independence

The time has finally come. Mason has started expressing interest in picking out what he wants to wear. My mornings used to be easy, but now I have to clear what to wear with the Mr. We have now gone to picking out our clothes the evening before. I have also had to give up some control and allow him to wear what he wants even if it doesn't match or make any sense. I still get to pick Sunday outfits and any party outings, the best deal I could make with a 4 year old. What is happening?

Some Things

Some things we will never understand. Luckily they are clean.
