Guest Photographer: Gwen - a month of mornings day 12

Erin & I had the kids take today's picture. It is no surprise what Gwen wanted to take a picture of......Elmo, Ernie, Cookie Monster, Grover (even though you can't see him he is there). When I asked her where she wanted to take the picture she said Mommies room and then she put the animals in front of the mirror that is on the floor and then she told me she wanted to lay on the hope chest to take the picture. She has seen me do this so I thought it was hilarious that she wanted to do that, plus it is great since you can see her in the picture. This girl has a nack for picture taking.

This morning - a month of mornings day 9

This is us almost every morning, another post on keeping it real. The only exception is that Gwen brought all of her Sesame Street friends downstairs, usually it is just Elmo. Looking at this picture reminds me that I REALLY need to sew new pillows.

The Easter Bunny is coming!

And apparently so is Elmo.

An Elmo Birthday

She did great with opening her gifts, she loved everything that she got. Cars racetrack, shopping cart, cash register/check out stand, coloring books & potty doll, thanks everyone!

I think everyone loved her gifts as much as she did, they wanted to play with them. Sorry it is blurry.



The Elmo cake. Kami ended up doing the decorating since I had so many other things to do, isn't it so cute!!!! Much better in person then the picture, the flash did not agree with it. Everyone had colored teeth from all of the dye that Kami and I had to add to the frosting to get the red and black. It was so funny to see everyone's mouths. To bad the frosting tasted really yucky since we had to add so much dye to it, but it sure looked good.



She loved it when we sang to her. She sang along and danced. She loves to sing now, I love it.



Once she got the cake she pulled the plate up to her face and ate it that way. Too funny.






Thanks everyone for the great gifts and all the laughs that we had. We had a great time.

Laziness with Elmo

We went to Dland with Kailey and her parents on Saturday since they FINALLY went. They had fun holding hands and following each other in lines. I was proud when Kailey had not even been on Materhorn and Gwenie had.

Then Gwenie decided to go and get a bad cold, so we have been super lazy around here. Her cough is really bad and it made me bite the bullet and finally give her cold medicine. I have been scared of it since there has been such controversy over it. I decided on Muccinex cough since it says on the package 2 years old or older, it has worked great!



We did venture out of the house to get medicine and Gweniveve had all of her Elmo's (all 4 of them) in the shopping cart with her sitting next to her and everyone was laughing as we passed them by. Then to the library, Gweniveve, of course, had to take ALL of her Elmo's again. So I decided to document it with a pic from my iphone.



I have been getting in alot of sewing since she has been sick. I can't wait until Gwenieve's B-Day to show you the cute Princess/Elmo hat I made her! Because of course we have to have a Elmo birthday. I am also going to attempt to make her a Elmo cake, here is praying for success!!!!!

What We Do At Night.

Erin posted this back in November when we were doing the NaBloPoMo. I thought it was a great idea so I am finally doing it.

This is just a typical night here:

Brett and Gweniveve wrestle and play around

Then they "pretend" to sleep, they even "pretend" to snore.



Then Gwenie helps me make chocolate chip cookies so that we can eat dough and hot right out of the oven cookies. Oh and her little friend Elmo goes everywhere she goes. She has 4 stuffed Elmo's ( thanks to grandma) and they usually all go where she goes, she can't get enough of Elmo.



Then we brush our teeth (one of her favorite things to do) and have family hugs and kisses. Then it is bedtime. Elmo is even sleeping with her now, she is that obsessed!
