fun times!

This weekend was great! We didn't have to go anywhere or do anything. We just got to stay home and spend time with one another.

The best part was that the kids actually started playing together, not just side by side. Christian would chase after Brooklyn and she would scream, turn and crawl to my lap. Then, Christian would tackle her once she was laying on me, so they would both get me. We were all giggling so hard and both the kids were perspiring...but they were cute! After a while, I starting moving so that Brooklyn had to crawl farther, which just made for more baby screaming and Christian squeals. It just reaffirms to me that my children love each other, no matter what happens. That makes me really happy too!

I also made some mashed potatoes tonight with dinner...Brooklyn liked them a lot, but then started getting tired while eating. She started out just rubbing her nose and...



this was the result. She had it everywhere, hair, cheeks, ears, nose...and yes, even on her eyelashes. It was so hard to get it off her little eyelashes that she still had some when I pulled her out of the tub this evening. After I started taking pictures, Christian decided he wanted his picture taken...



Thank goodness he decided to keep his mashed potatoes IN the bowl. So, seeing brother getting his picture taken, the little princess (she's spoiled already) started doing her little "I want what you've got" grunts wanting the camera.



Big brother, not wanting little sister to get more pictures taken than him, started flexing his little arm muscles for me. Sidenote: When prompted by Daddy to do things, most likely he will do it...no matter what it is, good or bad.



This was just after he kissed his muscle. Yes, a Daddy prompt was involved. It's ok though, we all had a fun time and lots of laughs for me!

He KISSED his muscle? That is too hilarious!!! I would've died laughing. So cute, both of them. And little Brooklyn is gorgeous, with or without a mashed-potato-face.

:-) Love you!

My Goodness, this Grandma has to go to a blog to see pictures of her Grandchildren. Maranda Lin...you should be spanked oh wait, you like that.

What can I say other than the children have changed so much since I was there in Feb. I look forward to holding them and smothering them with kisses. You'll be lucky to get a hug...hmm no pictures Rockin Smoochie!

I love you so much baby girls,

Mom
