I need a carpenter

Florida
Kevin was in Florida last week. We weren't....need I say more? Thanks to Grancy, Scott and Lee for coming by to supply coffee and company. Chloe gets sick of staring at me by 4:00 and when her dad doesn't come home from work the evenings are very long. Here's some shots of Chloe's newly adopted pose. I call it the waitress....

Happy Birthday Uncle Scott and Kevin
It was Uncle Scott's birthday last week. Luckily, we let him and Lee bring over dinner and cake, cook dinner and do the dishes. Lucky guy! Lucky his birthday is only once a year...
Happy Birthday to Uncle Kevin as well. We tried to call but got voicemail, I hope you got the message. Lee and Chloe did a nice sticker collaboration for Scott on the window since we opted to not get a gift or card. I think it's funny that when I finally got around to take a photo of it the kids were chucking snowballs at it!

Chloe at 3 Months
A few comparisons of the girls around the same age. All I notice is how much better my photos are now... how sad is that?

Fresh Air.....Finally
Chloe and Jaxsen decided to head outdoors for some well needed fresh air yesterday. While their clothes were drying they decided to play doctor since I took the opportunity to dress them in matching scrubs. Ummmm, they don't really fit anyone anymore but they're still cute from the waist up.

Grancy and Marley
Grancy came for a visit on Monday. She snuggled with Marley most of the day. Our plan was to take a picture of Marley to compare with a picture of Chloe at the same age since we still can't decide who exactly she looks like.

Chloe's Fan Club
Chloe is quite the performer. She puts on lots of concerts that we all sit through until she tells us to clap. As you can see, Kevin isn't nearly as impressed as Marley. I love the look of joy on her face as she watches Chloe do 'her moves'.

Just Photos
A few shots of Marley from the weekend. It was supposed to be a family photo session but the others bailed. Marley can't run from me yet....

Marley's registered for preschool...
No, you didn't read that wrong. Marley's registered. Chloe? Not so much. At the rate I'm going I'll have them starting school at the same time. Apparently I'm the only mom in Sherwood Park who thought 8 months was enough advance to get into preschool. I mentioned it to my 'friends' (I don't know their names but we hang out for a half hour every week) at ballet that I need to start looking for a school for Chloe. They looked at me like I was growing a horn out of my head (which ironically I am, but my doctor says it's fine...ewwww). I made a few inquiries and the hotspot in town said they may have room for Marley in 2011. Yep, that's right. I showed Kevin another option and he immediately noticed the bible studies which worried him. At this point as long as we find a place with windows and a door I'll be happy!

New backdrop
The distance from my little subjects was all wrong but I couldn't wait to try out my new backdrop that Kevin made for me. He hates doing things like that and to make matters worse I had this great idea that we could hang it in the front foyer when I'm not using it. Kevin has a real problem with hanging things....A few shots of the girlies being girlies. I know, a good mom would be rescuing Marley from the fall but she likes her little falls into the couch. She just boogies into the corner for some peace and quiet.

What the Pilsbury commercial doesn't show you....
Since I'm still trying to act like a mom to Chloe, I bought premade cookies for us to bake for Valentines Day. Her and Jaxsen were all excited so we baked them up and tried a few. It all went just like the commercial until I went upstairs to put Marley down for a nap. I came back down to find 2 chairs pulled up to the counter and a near empty plate of cookies. I asked Chloe if she ate the cookies and she said, 'yeah, just a few'. I couldn't get mad since she was honest with me, but seriously, they ate a whole package of cookies!

Heeeyyyyy.... sit on it.
Many of you may remember the ongoing photo strike of 2006. Chloe refused to let me take her picture and there's several months where the only photos I have are of her running away or screaming at me to stop it. We fought through and she's come a long way. Unfortunately, she's now reverted to this Fonzie pose whenever I whip out the camera. We had yoga on Friday and she looked so cute I asked if I could take her photo. She immediately struck a pose with her thumb up and then went and put her toque on and struck the same pose for me. I don't know what makes her think that's the best way to pose but I blame Scott for some reason.

Scary Love
This should be called rough love....Chloe loves Marley. She hasn't been jealous at all and goes out of her way to amuse her and be affectionate. Marley also likes to watch Chloe do anything. When the kids are playing, Marley likes to sit on the couch and watch them. It usually goes something like this...Chloe swoops in with teeth clenched, grabs Marley's head like a football and says 'Oh you're so cute aren't you my little june bug?!'. Marley is accepting the mauling but a little scared at the same time. Chloe yanks her closer and gives her a very aggressive kiss and then runs away. Marley sinks slowly over but always ends up smiling from the attack.

Chloe and Marley
A few more of the two of them and the pillow that I love. I love them so much that I'm having a duvet cover made right now to match the pillow I got made for Chloe's room. She doesn't even sleep in there but I do so I thought I may as well have a duvet cover that I love.

Marley Pillow
I got the cutest pillow made for the girls. I'll have to dig out the ladies shop address. I picked my own fabrics to match up with their rooms and they turned out so nice. I got ones made for Hunter and Christian as well and she did a great job. They're my new favorite gifts for little ones.
