Featured Artist

Dylan had his artwork chosen to be on display in the community art show last weekend. Here is his drawing of a clown using markers and weaving:


Here's my attempt to get him and his artwork in the same picture. He had to stand a few feet away so just try to ignore all the other artwork.

Liam's New Trick

Liam is now 7 months old. He hasn't quite mastered sitting on his own yet but he has learned a new skill. He pushes himself up on both arms and then scoots backwards. Here's a few shots of him in action.

Rock Hound

The other day Dylan was outside playing. When he came in he said he had found a special rock for me. I now have my very own heart-shaped rock.

I love it and put it on the kitchen window sill where I see it every day.

Dylan & Paige cook

I'm not sure why the last few posts have all revolved around food. While I was putting dinner together tonight Paige and Dylan were working in their own Play-Doh kitchen, making some delicious treats.

Little Miss Betty Crocker

Here's Paige in the cute apron that Granny sent her. She loves to help cook, as mentioned in the previous post :)

Making Cupcakes All By Herself - Not the best scenario!

The other day Paige decided she wanted to make some cupcakes. So she pushed one of the dining room chairs into the kitchen, climbed onto the counter, got into the cupboard with the baking supplies and helped herself to some ingredients, which she promptly took down to the basement.

Here she is after having taste-tested her creation.

Who wouldn't love some vanilla pudding cupcakes?!

Caught red (or yellow) handed.

She looks mightly proud of herself don't you think?

When I told Bill what happened he said, "Where were you?" to which I quickly replied "I was upstairs probably trying to feed Liam, or go to the bathroom, or get dressed, or pick up, or.....who knows." She's a quick one and she waits for the exact second when she knows I'm busy or pre-occupied to make her move.

At least she only got into the dry ingredients. It would have been much worse had she added eggs. Oh wait.....that was last week, which is why our fridge now has a bungee cord keeping it shut. Any ideas on how to lock our cupboards?

Mmm, mmm, good.

I realized today that its been a month since my last post. Nothing really exciting is going on, but here are a few new pictures of Liam.

Enjoying some rice cereal.
