Tea-hee!

So, I finally ran across this little ceramic polka-dotted tea set I had wanted to get for Keeley on her birthday, and picked it up for the kiddos. :)

The other morning, Luken decided to have a little tea party with his Lovey and Soft Stripey (octopus) before Keeley woke up!



In case you didn't know, an octopus' mouth is underneath, so Stripey had to be seated like this!


Lovey thinks her tea is delicious!


Soon, Keeley was awake, and they began to play all together.








Keeley's baby, "Garden," gets to join in on the fun!

I don't have the foggiest idea where the name came from, but it's a step up from "Baby," so I'm just going with it! :D

Tea for Mommy!


Cheers!!

Beautiful Girls!!

I have a new friend, Nina, who moved here from Germany with her family just a few weeks ago. They have a daughter, Hailey, who is the same age as Keeley. Nina and I met through a local moms' internet forum a few months ago, and have been getting to know each other through email ever since.

Now that they are finally here, we can play!!

Here are some photos of our gorgeous little girls playing in the yard! :)









Luken was there, too, but apparently very tired after a busy weekend, and just draped himself all over his Daddy. :D


























And you know it was fun when your friends cry when it's time to go home! :P

Leggo my Lego!!

Time for ME to get some old toys out of the attic from my childhood and share them with the kids! Legos!

First Todd brought them in, and we got the box cleaned off and took out the tiniest pieces to store until we see that the others are being well-cared for (and not stepped on by the big people!)


Luken surveying the stash.


The clean-up took longer than he would have liked, so he decided to chill out for a bit.


Keeley soon joined him!


At long last.... time to PLAY!










Lucky kiddos, don't you think?? :D
