Micah managed to get himself into his Bumbo seat, with the tray on it,all by himself. He was so pleased by his accomplishment.

 

Getting out of the seat was quite another story.

If all else fails, adapt to having something attached to your bum. 

Yes, that's my Christmas tree still up in the background. Don't judge me.

Lemon Lime Lego Love.

I saw a couple of Laural's Legos laying on the floor (where else?) and they looked a little like a heart the way they wereplaced, so I decided to take this pic of them.

My two little rascals, sitting in Grandpa's chair Sunday morning after spending the night at my parent's so Steve and I could see Rob's band play. Yes, my son is wearing pink pajamas that once belonged to his big sister. Don't judge me.

My niece, Amanda, at her 17th birthday party. It is amazing at how fast time seems to fly by. It doesn't seem so long ago that she was just a wee one toddling around my house.

My very pregnant, and very ready to be done being pregnant, sister-in-law. She still has a few more weeks to go though.

Fun food for dinner! I saw something on the Epicute Food blog like this so I decided to make our own little chickens for dinner.  The chickens are made from, what else, chicken nuggets with carrot combs and cheese beaks. The eyes are just black food gel. The ground on which the chickens stand is mixed veggies and there are peanut butter - celery logs on either side just waiting for Laural to place the "ants" on them. Crowning the scene is an arch of green pepper stars. Both kids loved their cute dinners!

Steve, throwing snowballs at the monster icicles hanging off the house that have been building for days and days now. He was somewhat successful.There seems to be fire coming out of his bum though.

Melyanna wanted some love and my arm was tired from petting her, so I grabbed my back scratcher and held it down for her. She continued to rub against it forquite some time. Here, she is really getting into it.
