Old Habits

While trying to put the kitchen back together after the countertop/backsplash remodel, Elaine found her old binky. She thought it was hilarious to put it in her mouth. I remember how attached she was to that thing and was relieved that she gave it back to me to put in her memory box.

Young Picasso?

The twins couldn't stop talking about drawing on the way home from Bev's today. Of course I thought only the highest for both and imagined talent like Picasso but after the trapped talent was released I had to admit they might be more of a Pollock!

A Taste of Winter

We headed outside to work on the driveway after the snow fell. I think they both take after me and would rather spend their time at an indoor playground rather than freezing their butts off outside.

Playing and Planning for a Party

The kids have invented a new game called "Sleep". They pretend to sleep. That's the rules, so simple yet so much fun! (at least to them)

If they aren't passing the time with these highly complicated games, Elaine likes to pass time by thumbing through these birthday favor magazines that we keep getting in the mail. She could just sit there for an hour looking through the themes and talking about candles. It's pretty crazy!

Showing Off Our Toys

Grandma and Grandpa Barker stopped for the night on their way home from St. Louis. Ethan couldn't wait to show off how some of his new toys worked.
