"CLEANING" PAPS' HOUSE

Today the girls and I "cleaned" Paps' house. By the time we left I wasn't sure if the house was cleaner or dirtier than before we arrived.

After running around a little and checking things out, Kaylee found a little TV with a VCR in the guest bedroom and asked to watch a "moobie". She decided to be a sweet big sister today and asked if I would put Brooke on the bed with her to watch the movie. Ahhhh, so sweet....

That didn't last long because Brooke wanted to jump on the bed. So, after a short tantrum, she found a book and took it to Paps to read. If you have been around Brooke for a short time, you know that she would rather be held by Mom that go to anyone else. She is making progress in this area and here is a picture to show it. Yeah!!!!

And of course, Kaylee is still watching A Bug's Life.

Next, they decided to play a few songs.

All that cleaning was hard on Kaylee.

Brooke thought she would help out some more.

Kaylee woke up because she heard the word "cookie" and after having a few cookies she finished up her nap with Paps.

The girls helped Paps pick up all the toys and we started out the door, but first Brooke decided to dump her entire bag of Cookie Crisp on the floor along with all the little crumbs (you know, all the little crumbs at the end of the cereal box). Another day of life with a 2-year-old and a 1-year-old. Fun, Fun!!!!

MOMMY'S LITTLE HELPERS

I started sweeping the kitchen the other day and after a few minutes two little helpers found their mop and broom and decided to join me. It will be really nice if they are still that anxious to help around the house in about 15 years!!

PUGGLES!!!!

Kaylee is now a Puggle!!! Yeah!!! Puggles is part of our Awana program at church in which children learn about God and memorize scripture. Yes, 2 & 3 year olds memorizing scripture...I wasn't so sure about that either, but Kaylee memorized her verse this week: "God made everything." And, believe it or not, Brooke "memorized" it also!!!! Kaylee was working on her verse and I realized that Brooke was copying her (as usual) so I started teaching each word to Brooke. She says "Go ma eyyying!" She gets really excited and pretty much yells the last word so you can't really understand what she is saying. It's pretty funny! I did get some video, but I haven't been able to get videos going on the blog yet. I am working on it.

So, obviously the verses are shortened a little and they don't have to memorize the reference yet, but it is a good start. Maybe Mama can memorize some verses also, hahaha!!! I have posted the Puggle Memory Verse for the week at the top right corner of the blog so you can see what Kaylee is learning.

P.S. For all of you who are wondering, a Puggle is a baby Platypus. (Learn something new everyday!!)
