Just a Little Slice

March 20- Soccer

Spring soccer should be starting soon.  Elizabeth is SO excited!!!  She went to the sports store with Daddy today to get her shoes, shin guards and a ball.  As soon as she got home she just had to put on her new gear and get outside and play.  She had such a great time!!!  She's pretty good at it too.  I'm looking forward to seeing her out on the field playing with her team, even if it means I've become the dreaded soccer mom :)

March 19- Silly Boy

Today was a rare day off for Chris.  We headed down to Collingswood to have lunch at The Pop Shop.  It was our first time there but we had heard lots of great things about it.  Well one thing to remember, it gets busy.  We got there at 2:30 and still had a 45 minute wait!!  Crazy!!  But the food was yummy, the ice cream even better.  The kids had a great time.  I mean really how many restaurants can you go to and get a fluffernutter sandwich??  Elizabeth was in heaven :)

March 18- Makeup artist in training????

Elizabeth was in the bathroom this afternoon with the door closed, no biggie right?  Then I hear the water in the sink running, again no biggie right??  And then I hear the little voice "Um, mommy I need a little help.  My lipgloss kind of got all over".  I walk into the bathroom and this is what I find.  I don't know about you but to me this is a *little* more than I expected to see.  She was pleased as punch with herself and happily posed for a few pictures......until she went to rub her eyes and the lip gloss got IN her eyes.  Well then it was tears and sobbing and drama for the next almost 2 hours.  Perhaps she'll remember this next time......hopefully 

March 17- Little Leprechaun

My little leprechaun :)  I tried to get a picture of both kids together today in their matching shirts (that still fit from last year!!!!!) but this little guy was having nothing to do with it.  So I had to settle on individual pictures of both kids.  Elizabeth was so not cooperative but the little boy was more than happy to pose for a few, or 20 ;)  Don't you just love that crazy hair?!?!?  

March 16- Our little acorn

Last fall Elizabeth and I went on a walk to collect acorns.  We found so many on our walk but there was one special one that she really loved.  So we took that special acorn and put it in some soil, gave it some water, crossed our fingers and hoped for the best.  Probably about a month ago I noticed that our little acorn had started to grow.  And grow it has!!!!  This is little little tree that could!!!  This tree gets taller by the day!!  I love the look of pure joy on Elizabeth's face every time she sees it.  She is so proud of her tree

March 15-Neighbors

The neighbors were out today.  Both kids love to watch them out back grazing on the field.  So far I haven't sen any male deer just a bunch of cute little females.  We usually have about 12-15 deer out back.  They've even gotten so used to us that the dogs don't even scare them anymore :)  Aren't they adorable??!?!?!!

March 14- PAR-TAY!!!!!

This is what happens when a little boy drinks vanilla extract.....he is up and having a blast until 4am.  I'm talking jumping off the couch arms, bouncing around the family room, giggling and having a great time blast.  All while Mommy tries her hardest to keep her eyes open.  Oh boy, think we'll need to make sure Alex lives at home during college ;)

March 13- Spicemaster

The little boy is a "get into".  When he finds something interesting he is relentless until he gets into it to explore.  Lucky for me, today it was my spice cabinet.  He just found this fun little place today while I was cooking dinner.  I was up to my elbows (well not really) in raw chicken and he was just going through and pouring out spices onto the floor.  That's a nice pile of white pepper at his feet.  Then while I was cleaning this spill up, the little stinker decided it would be awesome to drink the vanilla extract :/  Um, yeah SO not fun.  Yet another cabinet that needs a lock now ;)

March 12- Where's Elizabeth??

This afternoon I sent a very tired little girl up to her room to take a much needed nap.  Pretty soon I realized it was *really* quiet in her room, like more than usual.  So I went up to check on her and surprise surprise, she's not in there.  So I start to look in all the standard Elizabeth napping places-my room, the bean bag, her tent.....but nope she wasn't in any of them.  Then I walk into the family room and find this contraption.  Blankets everywhere and somewhere underneath all of them, snuggled in between the couch and the chair the little lady is sound asleep.  Gotta love this kid!!!

March 11- little things

Having small children in the house pretty much means you never know what you are going to find.  I was walking through the living room today when I caught this out of the corner of my eye.  Apparently the princesses are all going swimming in my candle holder *sigh*  Got to love her imagination though, right??  and very pleased that the glass didn't brake, it's pretty thin
