Zoo and Happy 18 months

Petting zoo they actually liked this

Walking with daddy they have "animal" backpack leash things

Pretty girl she is getting so big (well her attitude is a big girl one)

Elephants

More Elephants

Carson eating lunch at the table (Kelsey had already eaten hers he was still asleep so I sat at the table with her and she talked to me and we laughed) etc.. He is more picky then she is so I had to put food into his mouth to get him to eat.

I bought the crayola big crayons for them didnt work to well they still want to eat them..... Maybe next month we will try it again, they banged them on the paper and made dots but thats about it...

Daddy has been on vacation so I decided to try letting the twins sit at their table more, eat there play there etc... They have had breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks there with plates and silverware (that part isnt going to well) and so far so good, this does not mean I am getting rid of high chairs since this may not last. I had been thinking about using the table again for awhile and thought why not do it now.

We went to the Tulsa Zoo today, Jim's friend got a flyer on his door with a coupon for 2 free entries (the twins were free anyway) so all we had to pay for was gas and lunch at the zoo (rip off) prob should have eaten before going. It was a disaster for the most part, the twins were tired (we thought they would nap on the way there nope didnt happen). They were hungry and wouldnt eat, wanted out of the stroller then they didn't want to walk etc.... We were there about 2 hrs and had to leave I had it. Maybe we will try again next year (or when we can reason with them).

The twins are 18 months today! MAN DOES it fly by they will move up to the older class for swimming so that is exciting. Same day just different time and Kelsey climbed out of her crib against yesterday DADDY will be lowering that mattress tomorrow. :) I thought she learned after the 1st time.

Climber

I put Carson and Kelsey down for a morning nap (I guess to early) but they both were acting like they wanted to go upstairs. I came back down and got some things cleaned up and put away when I heard a thud (I assumed it was because we give them books in their cribs and it had dropped or got thrown out) well then I heard a door shut. Normally the door shuts when the a/c kicks on because it blows it shut but it wasn't on upstairs. I made my way up there and Miss Kelsey Belsey was greeting me at the gate. I went into their room to get Carson out of his crib and saw the top drawer to the dresser was open. I don't know what that child did but she is crazy. She looked at me as though she was a little freaked out so I don't know if she will be climbing out of her crib any more times. I have to now remember to close the gate at the top of the stairs (I usually don't because they are too early to climb out) this is so not the case.



I wish I had my camera but I really wasn't thinking to grab it as I needed to head upstairs and see what was going on. No picture of her face and expression as I came up the stairs.

The twins love watching NOGGIN and in between some shows they have music videos. The twins love the Jumparounds get up and go go video and one day Kelsey started dancing to it.The twins are changing more and more every day they look and act like little adults now its so fun.

I play this video a few times a day especially on the rainy days when we can't get outside they will stop what they are doing and come in the living room and watch it.

Hello

This was last Saturday Lynn, Mikel, Floyd and Jim ran the Race for Hope they all did the 5 k except Lynn did the 10k

Carson wants us to do this to him too, well we arent tall like Mikel so its a bit hard

Not sure they look to happy here

Kelsey, Carson, Dunning and Addison (Jim's mom watched the twins for me during the sale and Jims aunt Peggy came over and brought her grandbaby Addison).

Sorry its been a few weeks obviously been busy playing catchup. Last week was the neighborhood garage sale it RAINED the whole day and downpoured a few times a few of us are doing a sale next week to sell more stuff. I made some money but no where near what I would have made had it not been raining.

Tonight was our neighborhood block party I stayed to eat and then left with the twins to get them in the BATH and bed. Tomorrow I have to go to church at 8 (I run the 1 yr old hall during 1st service) so I am responsible for 3-4 rooms. I am praying right now that I find more volunteers to help work 1 Sunday a month. Right now I am running 2 rooms ocasionally I have 3 open (which I would love to have all the time).

Tomorrow is mothers day and I plan on doing nothing after church, Jim gets to feed the babies all day tomorrow since I need a break anyway.

Monday is workout day

Tuesday is workout day and I volunteered to help at their MDO to help watch the teachers kids while they have their appreciation lunch.
