Just Another Morning at our house

First let me pause in this blog to ask:

Have you drank your milk today?Where's your mustache?

Am I done now mom?
And here's Mr. Elliott doing 'Rock,Paper, Scissors' or something like that anyway.

(Does he not look like Curious George in the above picture?)

Giving me the 'I'm cute' look...

and the 'tolerating you' face...

and the 'I can be mad too' face.

Oh look, Kate just gave me a kitty!

Here's a ferocious squeeze for it. WHAT!?! Now a dolly?!?!
Boys aren't supposed to play with dollys

...but it is nice and soft and cuddly

Hey wait, are you taking pictures?

Maybe if I ignore mom she'll go away with that camera.

What? you're still there? Okay, here's one hug and then you better leave me alone.Now if you don't get this dolly offa me I'm gonna bite it!Don't say I didn't warn ya!

Meanwhile....

Kate is wearing her new winter hat backwards with her PJ's still on and acting like a wild child...Hopping around in circles with a few jumps and twirls thrown in.

Speaking of throwing, beware of sticking your head in the door of her house.

Intruders are welcomed by this...

DUCK QUICK!!The 'little Man' watching mommy in the kitchen...and Miss Kate helping mommy in the kithen.

And then its off for a walk to the park with La La.

These cousins seem so much alike sometimes. They both know what they want, are pretty tough kiddos, and can be very stubborn, and determined, but also love to laugh and have fun.

Here they are wanting the box of crackers I'm holding above them.
Miss Kate on the twisty slide

And here she comes flying off the end! :)

Elliott hanging out in the stroller all cozied up for the occasion...

Being his usual happy self.

And back home for the evening...

Kate teaching Elliott how to play with his toys. :)

Bye for now Ya'all

Mornings and Phone Calls- by Miss Kate

I am not a morning person. Although I am happy in the mornings. But I like to just lay around and cuddle with something... the floor, my elephant and teddybear, my blanky, and occasionally my mommy.But sooner or later I must get up.

And let my mommy deal with this...

Fine hair = lots of tangles. :

Then its time to do my morning stretches.

Get rehydrated...and hey, the phone is ringing...
Hello!...oh, Hi, Aunt Sus
It's Aunt Sus and she says she can't wait to see me at conference.I told her I'd try and help her find a good guy...And then I laughed so hard that she hung up on me.

Yesterday I called Gramma on the phone...

I had to try lots of buttons before I found Gramma'sBut I finally found it...

And then the phone began ringing....
And ringing...and ringing...and ringing... And finally she answered just when I'd about given up, and she said she missed me.

I missed her too and it made me sad... So I asked mom when we could go see gramma.

She said next week we could spend a whole week at Gramma's house so now I'm really happy!!!

It'll be soo much fun!!!

P.S. from Mom- Notice Miss Kate is hugging the phone to her chest while she is talking on the phone... I keep the speaker phone on and that is how she talks to Gramma...hugging the phone. Gramma was actually doing all the talking during this session. ;) So, Gramma, now you know what Miss Kate was doing at the other end of the line.
