It's a Jungle Out There

What a silly boy! Kody likes to play animals a lot. One day he's a monkey...

another day he's an elephant - what an imaginiation!
He came up with these costumes all by himself, isn't he smart?

How Cute!

Here's Kody "hanging" out with his friends "Nona" and "Bing-bing" on a sunny day!

Snuggle Time

The kids were being very cute and snuggly the other morning, so of course I had to snap some pictures! Kody was tickling Mollie and they were both laughing so hard. I love it when they play together!

What a fun week!

Daddy was on Spring Break this week and we have had lots of fun with him! Here are some pictures from the things we've been doing:

We played outside

a lot

Daddy took these cute pictures of us

We went to our favorite Hands-on Museum,
where Daddy played fireman with Mollie,and the Cosi Museum in Toledo, Ohio.What a fun week, too bad it has to end. We can't wait till next time!

2-Wing Ah-Yong!

No, that's not some sort of new Asian food dish, it's just what Kody says sometimes when he's playing with Buzz Lightyear. Have you figured out what it means yet?

To Infinity and Beyond!!!
Some days he plays Toy Story with Buzz and Woody...and other days he goes Tractor Tipping with Mena (Mater)
and ABueen (McQueen).What a character!

And what about Mollie, you ask?

She entertains herself with balloons from the grocery store...
anything stringy or tubey...
and just being silly!There's never a dull moment around here!

IT'S TOO COLD!!!

We ventured outside today!

We walked out the back door....

...around the side...

and right back in the front door!I think we're much happier when we stay inside, with the heater set to 73.

It's too cold to play outside...

...so yesterday afternoon we went to the Ann Arbor Hands-on Museum!We had so much fun riding in the firetruck,

playing fireman

eating pretend food,and getting soaked in the water!
(good thing Mommy brought a change of clothes)Kody likes to line things up together

Kody the Liar

It's a conversation that happens at least once a day (lately it's been more like 5), and it all starts innocent enough. I begin to smell something fowl so I say:

"Who's poopy?"
Kody: "Mah-nee poopy"
Me: "it really smells like Kody poop"
Kody: "no, Mah-nee poopy"

So of course I always check Mollie first (you know, to give him the benefit of the doubt) and find that she's clean. A quick peek at Kody's behind and I know he's lied to me again! He's really quite sweet and honest any other time, he only lies about this one particular subject, but I don't think I'll worry too much about. I just laugh and change him!Does this look like a face that would lie?

Mollie Translations

Here are my words and mommy's translation so you know what I'm saying:
Da! (Daddy)
Da!Da! (Daddy when she's really excited)
mo (more)
gah (car)
gi-guh gi-guh (cookie, tickle or ka-chow depending on what she's doing)
momomom (Mommy of course!)
gak gak gak (quak quak)
uhoh (uh-oh)
bum (jump)
da (ta-da)

We love our new TOYS!

We thought it would be fun to post some pictures of us playing with our new toys that we got for Christmas!

Pretty Pretty Princess

How do I look? I got this pretty princess dress from Grandma & Grandpa B for Christmas! I wasn't really in the mood for a photo shoot, because I didn't feel well, so I think Mommy will try again on a better day. I think I still looked pretty, though!
