Turns out, anyone and anything can play the piano.
Putting our faces on
Many mornings Mommy and Daddy let us in their room while they're getting ready (we call it putting our faces on). We often put on "odorant" just like Daddy does (after he puts on "DEodorant" of course).
Their closet has two REALLY heavy sliding doors that have mirrors on them. We spend most of our time either on their bed or hiding in that big closet.
Beam us up . . . Scotty?
Who's Scotty? And we're not really sure we want him "beaming" us anywhere. There are just so many ways of moving from floor to floor in this world. There's regular stairs, the MUCH cooler moving stairs . . .
. . . and let us not forget the trusty elevator with all the buttons we can push.
Museum and a new camera
We went to Children's Museum this morning. We played with all kinds of great stuff, including giant containers full of goo. Daddy came with us and he brought the new camera he got for his birthday to use for the first time.
We played with the water and Daddy did a pretty good job capturing that.
Then we popped some bubbles. This an ok picture, but it's obvious he's still learning how to use it. If you want to see what what kind he got, click here.
We saw all kinds of great stuff. We met Daisy the mouse. That's her running in her wheel.
And we watched the buses and traffic pass below as we looked out the top window on the fourth floor.
Giddy-up
Grandma Meehan sent us these awesome hats. They are a great accompaniment to our daily activities like running around the house.
Now all we need is some horses to ride in on.
Suckers too
We found some suckers in the same box that had our new hats. Mommy and Daddy let us have them after dinner.
They were super tasty.
The making of Monkey Bread
When you have a craving, sometimes you just have to take matters into your own hands. Once you find the bundt pan, you get your bread dough (even if it's made of wood), roll it in cinnamon and sugar, put it in the bundt pan, cover it in a caramel-like sauce and cook it. It's that simple.
Happy Birthday Daddy
We got Daddy some awesome new shoes for his birthday. They're just like the shoes we have, that's how awesome they are.
After making the birthday pie this morning we waited all day before eating it. It seemed like forever.
It was so long, in fact, that when it was finally time, we made sure it was REALLY okay to eat it.
It was, so we dug in. The pie was SOOOOO good. If anyone needs a French Silk pie, just ask us. However, Aunt JenJen thought it was a little weird that Daddy wanted a birthday pie. She sent him an e-card that's pretty funny. Click here to check it out. Once it loads, click on the desserts on the list. Be sure your sound is on.
Stairball
We went to Grandma and Bumpa's house to celebrate Daddy's birthday this afternoon. We had a rousing game of stairball while we were there. Mommy and Daddy need a railing like this.
Practically perfect pie
We helped make Daddy's birthday pie this morning. Check it out!
Once the crust was complete and the filling was finished, we squeezed the cream on top of the pie.
Of course we made sure we used every single drop.
There was a lot of cream to put on the pie.
When it was all covered, there was even a little still left. We finished that off too.
Have you had your Yoga today?
This is pretty close to the Lotus Pose. It's not quite right, but hey, we're only two.
MORE Christmas gifts??!!
So what are your thoughts? Did this awesome gift arrive late or are Mommy and Daddy hiding gifts from us? In the end, perhaps it doesn't matter. We were just as excited.
As soon as we saw it, we began tearing into the wrapping.
It was a big gift and there was a lot of wrapping so it took us some time.
Just look at all these animals! There is a waterfall-slide, doors (both trap and normal) and swings. It's great.
Character
A German book, "Hoppla! Wer Knabbert Da?" continues to be one of our favorite books. It's now been taped together more times than we can count, but the pages still turn and we love it all the more. It's a book with character.
Tracks in the living room
Thanks to our Aunt Lori, Uncle Rainer, and Cousins Austin and Chandler we now have tracks in our living room.
These are good tracks though - train tracks - not tracks from muddy shoes.
Tea for two
Every morning, Daddy has a cup of coffee in his red mug. It's really more like two or three cups when the mug is completely full . . .
. . . and it's always completely full. It's definitely a two-handed mug.
Sick and sicker
Just when we thought we couldn't get any sicker, we did. Now were both REALLY sick. Hopefully we can start turning the corner tomorrow.
Our ongoing illness . . .
. . . is keeping us from going anywhere. However, we been successful in going from the floor . . .
. . . to the couch. Also, what likely comes as no surprise, our bubbies and blankies are going wherever we go.
It's been a rough few days. Hopefully we'll be on the mend soon.
At last
It's great to be home, we certainly had fun with everyone though. We drove all the way home, we stopped along way of course, but we made the trip in 10.5 hours.
Monkey Joe
We're not too sure who Monkey Joe is, we didn't get to meet him, but he
lives at this great place.
We went with Will and took full advantage of all the slides.
Mommy always tells us how crazy we are. Perhaps it's only fitting we ended up in
a padded enclosure.
Will's house, sort of
It was a pretty long day, but it was worth it when we finally made it to Will's house.
Those are his legs, but it's not REALLY his house. It's his Grandma and Grandpa's
house, or Mom and Pops A and our Mommy calls them.
There's Will's head. We used to have one of these in our house too. It never seemed
quite THIS crowded. There is one more person on it and we're all a lot bigger than
we used to be.
We had lots of stuff to do when we arrived. It was a whole new
place with new rooms to explore . . .
. . . new toys to figure out . . .
. . . and great new spots to take a break. The day caught up with us eventually.
Another day of travel
We set out early in an attempt to beat a winter storm moving across southern Iowa and north Missouri.
Shortly after we crossed the border, we took a break from the
drive and ran around an indoor play place.
We had a good time, but had to get back on the road. No sooner had we pulled out of the parking lot than the snow started falling, lots of it.
