Cute Kid Moments

One of the things I love the most about posting on this blog is that I can post things that are really important like birthdays and major milestones in the lives of my family members, but also that I can post random funny things that happen to me just because I happen to be the mom of some very silly children.  What an adventure this has already been and my oldest is only 5.  

So this is one of those posts that just reminds me why my kids are mine - they make me giggle like no one else can!

 though Ally is cute, it's daddy's smile that caught my heart in this one

I'm sure someone noticed that Ally's birthday post was missing the Nana/Papa gift.  Well, it came a day or so later.  This little fuzzy bear has become a staple in the crib and has since lost his cute party hat.  Ally chewed on it so much it fell off and had to be tossed.  At least we know she loves it!

 This is that little birthday cake by Leap Frog that she got.  She loves this thing!

Ally is such a Fosburg, she's great!  Only my kid would be completely happy drinking a bottle hanging upside down.  I just came around a corner and found her hanging this way with no apparent reason for the position.  Such odd ducks are my children.

This was a great little science lesson we did.  They learned about plants, roots, leaves, and soil.  They enjoyed it so much.  A bit later when the seeds sprouted they got really excited and then frustrated when they didn't do much after that.  Eventually, Joe accidently knocked his over and we had to throw it out and Evie over watered hers while trying to be a big girl and do it without mom's permission...

 ...we still enjoyed the project though!

 Here they drew a picture of what they thought the flowers were going to look like.  It was a way of continuing the science lesson by practicing the predicting skill of the scientific method.  They did a great job.

 can you see the little plants?

Random sleeping picture of Joseph.  We have come to realize that he and daddy are very similar.  They can both sleep anywhere at anytime.  He can also fall asleep in less than five minutes or stay awake hours upon hours if he really wants to.  Sleep seems to be one of those "crosses" he just has to bear in mortal life.  Apparently it is an inconvenient necessity.  So funny.

This is a picture of Evie after a play date with her friend Isabella from ballet class.  We had to send her with a note to give to her friend after class to invite them to our home.  I felt like I had stepped back in time with the process since it's been so long since I've heard of it being done that way.  Anyway, Isabella came over and then Evie was invited to Isabella's house the next week.  It's been a good friendship for her.

And this is what Joe does when Evie is not at home.  He plays with her stuff very happily.  Chris really thought it was cute what he had done with the doll house.  He apparently turned it into a parking garage or something - oftentimes he uses the cars the way Eve uses dolls.  They have teeth brushed, get in time outs, and talk.  So funny.

Evie, Joe, and Liz on a walk with daddy.  I love Evie's pose-my drama queen, Joe's hat-actually daddy's, and Lizzy's little "I'm here" grin.  

Chris and I often find it amusing to notice how Joe seems to organize his toys.  They all end up in rows, lines, and specific groups.  It's kind of funny, but one of those Joe personality traits we noticed.

Ally says hello to the camera!

Aren't my kids silly?  I so get a kick out of having cameras on our phones and a nice one in my home.  It makes capturing these funny moments of the kids growing up so easy and fun to look at.
