While Mama's away ...

I LOVE the fact that Alisa and sometimes Blake take pictures of the kids throughout the day and email them to me! Here are some of the great pictures I've gotten since starting work. The comments in quotes are from Alisa. :)

Georgia swinging on our back deck.

"Nate in the sand... Still in pjs. He was all stoked for the park and then went and hid when I got his shoes. Wouldn't budge. He asked for sand, figured since it's bath day, the colateral damage will be small :). We already talked about 'going strait from sand to bath. Clothes come off outside!"

"Your kiddo was being cute."

This is how Blake got her to sleep one day.

"The best smile he would give me."

"Georgia in her zoo cave." (she didn't have sunscreen)

"Drawing a train outside."

"Nate and neighbor kiddos racing"

Nate was driving Georgia to his classroom.

How cute is this!!!!

Singing "She'll be comin round the mountain when she comes!"

"Georgia fell asleep in her high chair waiting for the milk to warm. I guess she wasn't interested in a full belly before nap!"

"Taking huge bites of yogurt all by himself!"

"G keeps catching her thumb between her fingers Between her fingers and it is blowing her mind. She just stares and stares at her stuck thumb and then pries it loose with her other hand."

"Mr. 'No, I'm not napping!'"

Nate used a big boy swing at the park today! Every now and then, he'd say, "Please can you fix my bottom, please?" (Alisa is working on him using full sentences!) and we'd scoot him back up on the swing.

He stood beside this tree and said, "Take my picture!"

"Your house is sacked out!"

"Hungry? No breastmilk? No problem! I can just eat my sock!"

Today I asked Alisa to bring the kids to my office to drop off something I'd left at home and also to feed Georgia. When Nate walked in the door, he immediately remembered the playgroups we've been to there and said, "Where are the toys?! Open that door!" I found him a few toys to play with, including a keyboard with microphone. He asked me to sing him a song. So I started singing "John the Rabbit" from our music class. After each line I'd sing, Nate would say "Yes, Maam." I'd sing "Oh John the Rabbit," and I put the mic in front of his face and he'd say, "Yes, Maam!" Me: "Got a mighty habit" Nate: "Yes, Maam!" Once instead of putting it in Nate's face, I put it to Georgia's mouth, and I swear if she didn't try to sing! It was hilarious.
