Maddie kept talking about "Our tutti too". She knew exactly what she was saying...I didn't have a clue. So I finally got it when she said, "You know, Our tutti too on Star Wars." OOOOHHH...R2D2! Got it. It was like we were playing our own game of Mad Gab.

I keep forgetting to post this...A few weeks ago we went to Chuck E. Cheese with our friends. (We've actually found some friends who like Chuck as much as we do! :) ) Anyways, while we were there Lyndon was playing one of the games. I stood close by just watching him. After a while he stopped, looked at me and said, "Mom, go find another game to play." uh, o-kay. So knowing that he didn't want his Mom crowding his game play, I stepped back about 3 feet and continued to just keep an eye on him. After about 30 seconds he stops his game again. Takes me by the hand. Walks me over to a different game. sits me down and says, "Here you play this while I play my game." And that's Lyndon for ya...


A bit more Valentine stuff...
I was at the fabric store and found a bunch of Valentine decor for half off. So I had the idea to do a holiday tree. We keep our Christmas Trees up all year long (we just move them upstairs) because they look more like a little wooden forest than a Christmas tree AND because I don't want them to get all dusty in the garage...
Maddie and Lyndon are in love with the tree. No pun intended. :)

Do you think this is a form brain wash?


I just about died laughing when he brought me these two little people. He hand me the one on the right and said, "This is me." and then handed me the one of the left and said, "This is my girlfriend." I'd say he picked a pretty accurate representation of himself. ...he's a locksmith, btw.
(also, I swear I clean this kids face but you would never know because it looks dirty is practically every picture.)



Two buds. (Maddie will NEVER look at the camera.)




The Disney store had a little Valentine craft and story. Lyndon was WAY more interested in the store than the activities.





Maddie gets to be a flower girl in April!! We went and tried on her dress today. I'm not willing to spend close to the same amount of $ on a flower girl dress as I did on my wedding dress so my Mom has graciously offered to make the dress for us. Thank you Mom! Little did the ladies know I was taking pictures so that we could re-create it ourselves. sneaky.











Isn't she beautiful?

I think your blog is fun and your family will love having all these little memories when they get older. As always, cute photos!

If that is in fact a form of brain washing then I think it is great. I love those little shirts.

R2D2 huh, well I am glad to hear that our kids are not the only ones that can spout off movie trivia in everyday conversation.

I really like your idea to take pictures of a dress that you like from a wedding shop, we also have a wedding coming up in a few weeks, I am kicking myself for not thinking of something like that (not that I would have really been able to make a great gown)

Just one more thing, does Maddie let you paint her nails because you want to, or does she ask for it? I would love for Gwen to have cute little painted nails, but she doesn't care for it, so sad. Maybe if I used the brainwashing shirt while bribing her to paint her nails...just a thought.

Not brain washing --- encouraging good choices.....Perhaps we should make shirts that say "I Heart Cleaning my Room" or "I Heart Vacumming"

Maddie is so cute. It makes me smile when she doesn't look at the camera--Carsten NEVER looks at the camera anymore...he focuses on this odd place the the lower left of him knee.....

i think Maddie should win the record of being the flower girl the most in history!
