Fixed

I temporarily fixed the blog.  Not sure what happened.  I think I’m going to toss the St. Patty’s day theme and go with spring.  I don’t like the picture of the kids at the top and I don’t like any of the St. Patrick’s day themed backgrounds.  Maybe I’m just frustrated with technology at the moment…I’m struggling to get familiar with Windows 7.

Is my blog messed up?

Anyone else see my blog messed up? My background appears to be fine, but all my columns are shoved to the left (at least on Christopher's computer). We are upgrading to Windows 7 and we seem to be having some technical difficulties.

Crying over spilled milk

We are still working on drinking out of cups.  They both still play in the cups and Cooper particularly likes to put food in his drink and then drink it all together (gross).  Charlotte is clumsy and doesn’t seem to understand that when she shakes the cup or tilts the cup, the liquid spills.  Here she is crying over spilled milk.

At least she is also a good little helper and loves to help clean up!

Charlotte loves all the tools and likes to ‘fix’ things.

Cooper is very nurturing to all the baby dolls and stuffed animals.

Giving Elmo loves.

Attacking the dog with blankets.  Scout loves to be under blankets and then wrestle to get out from under them.  She also likes to play tug of war with them.  The kids have realized this is fun….although I don’t think Scout likes to be attacked by TWO of them!

Charlotte is learning to climb better, and now she climbs onto the sofa table and then jumps onto the couch.  This means lots of bruises and fat lips for her.  I like how she looks like a little baby Tarzan here.  I also like that Cooper is in the background getting into something on the counter that he shouldn’t.

Favorite new blog

Seriously this going to turn into one of my favorite new blogs.  And it might just get Chris interested in wood working again!  (I’m sure my father-in-law will also very much enjoy this blog.)

Here’s what drew me in:

See these book cases?  Beautiful, right?  The price however is a bit much for bookcases, especially when IKEA is down the street.  Just one of them costs $400 from Land of Nod.  (Photo from Land of Nod.)

What if you could build one of these bookcases with easy to follow plans for only $50?  Sounds like a great deal right?  Well you see, Knock Off Wood provides you with those plans!!  What a great blog!!

Food Choices

Our two children LOVE yogurt.  They would eat it at every meal if we let them.  If they don’t eat well for dinner we often offer some yogurt with baby oatmeal mixed in to help fill them up a bit and get some nutrients in their bellies.  I came across a new product, Horizon’s Little Blends.  It’s yogurt with a serving of fruit and a serving of veggies.  Great for your picky eaters!

Look how chunky Charlotte is getting again.  She looks like a mini body builder here.

Cooper is sick today.  He’s running a fever and has a terrible cough.  Hopefully he feels better soon (and the rest of us don’t get too sick)!  I guess the new activities outside the house are exposing them to all sorts of germs.  Good immune system building.

(I am changing up the blog a bit, but seem to be running into some errors.  I’ll see if I can get some of my features back without screwing things up too much.)
