Spongebob Intervention

I fear that the time has come for a serious Spongebob Intervention!

A little someone, who shall remain nameless...

(hint, hint)
...has developed a minor addiction to watching Spongebob (specifically the 'Ripped Pants' episode) while lying in her blow up princess bed in her room. (And yes, she has a real bed, but just prefers to sleep on her blow up bed occasionally.) And this request often comes multiple times in a day.
Okay, well maybe it is a little more than a minor addiction. One of the first things she asks me when she gets home is if she can put on her jammies and then says 'Me watch Spongebobby Whipped Pants'. I know someday I am so going to miss her using 'me' instead of 'I' but for now I refuse to correct her because I think it is so stinkin' cute! So I digress...
Back to the intervention...Her other obsession is obviously sleeping in her princess blow-up bed. These pics were from last weekend when she wanted to take a nappy in her room and watch a little Spongebobby first. I couldn't help myself from snapping couple of pics of her adorable little sleepy self.
So what do you think? Does this addiction warrant an intervention with a 2 1/2 year old Spongebob addict? Or should I just relish in the 20 minutes of rest my hip gets from holding her??? That is one tough question!

Hipp-ety, Hop-ety, Happy Easter!

Since our daycare was off for the Good Friday holiday, I got to stay home with my two little munchkins. It was so nice to sleep in till 7 (ha ha ha...I find it funny that 7 is now sleeping in for me!)
We were lazy-heady-daisys for a good part of the day. We (okay I) didn't get out of my jimmer jammers until 2 pm! After Audrey woke up from her nap, we headed outside and I worked on cleaning out my flower gardens. As much as I love my flower gardens, I hate cleaning them out in the spring. Maybe I would be more enthusiastic if our wheel barrow didn't always have a flat tire. But that is beside the point!
Next, we went out to our new land to stake out the shed that we will be having built soon. (That is a whole nother story that will be coming in an future post.) Then we went up to the little grocery store in town to pick up some eggs to color.
After dinner, we got our egg coloring production all set up and ready to go. There were 6 food coloring tablets so each kid got to drop in 3 tablets.
Due to me over estimating a 2 year olds ability to follow directions, we ended up with 3 tablets in one cup so I had to quickly rescue them and try to get them into their own separate cups. Needless to say our yellow was no longer 'yellow' but more yellowish-greenish-orangeish. The look of guilt on Audrey's face says it all.
After the little misunderstanding, we were off and running with the egg coloring.
Grant held the title of the official egg-scooper-outer.
And Audrey was busy watching in wonder and making super cheezy faces every time I told her to look at me and smile.
I mean, seriously! This is what I got every time I said, 'Audrey, look at me and smile.'
This one was even worse...instead of smiling she started snorting! Lovely.

This was the first time that I had put more than 2 piggies in Tootie's hair and I just couldn't get enough of taking pictures of the extreme cuteness.
Once all of the eggs were dipped and colored we had to wait for them to dry so they could paint, sticker and glitter them. Audrey was trying to blow on them to get them to dry faster!
And on to even more decorating. The kids really had a blast having so much freedom to decorate how they pleased.
We will be spending Easter Day with Duke's family up at the lake and hopefully the weather will be nice enough so we can have an outside Easter Egg hunt. Wishing all a very blessed Easter.

Web Slingin' Action

It has been a busy week yet again and I haven't had much time for editing pics so here are a few that I didn't get a chance to post from Grants Birthday. Not to my surprise one of his favorite presents was getting his very own web slinger, a must for every prospective Spidey. Of course, after we got home from the party he had to try it on for size and that he did. Once it was on it was READY...
AIM...
FIRE!!!!!!
Okay, so technically, this was the first 'casualty' of the web slinging...
But you can be sure it wasn't the last, either!
Oh yes, there was plenty of fun to be had with a red glove and a can of blue silly string.
Grant thought it was pretty cool that I was actually encouraging him to squirt it again so I could get some good action shots! I love being 'the best Mom in the world!'
And good action shot I got! I love the look on his face...gritted teeth and all!
Have you noticed that he still has frosting on his face from the party in these pics! Who needs to wash faces when there is serious web slingin' to do!
Now I call that some pretty good aim!
But this Mama has even better aim! You don't think I could resist the urge play along, now do you?!?
Sissy wasn't quite sure what had just happened to her or what to think about having blue silly string on her precious Yogos.
Finally after all of the fun it was time to clean up.
Trust me we were finding blue silly string for days to come but the smiles and giggles were all worth it!
Our daycare is off for the Good Friday holiday so I have the day off tomorrow to sleep in and spend the day with my kiddos. It is supposed to rain but we are planning on dying Easter eggs and making brownies playing cars and babies and watching maybe even watching a movie. Can't wait for a day of snuggles and fun!
