New Austinisms

Momster - a word to describe his mother...."I love you momster" which of course sounds like monster.....Freudism by a 2 year old?

Sleep potatoes - orange potatoes fed to Ansley which induce sleep upon completion of the meal - he could be onto something

Doctor - a word used to describe any mechanic - so if his car is broken it has to go to the doctor...good thing I went to school for 11 years to be synonymous with a mechanic

What is that? - instead of "why" as every other 2 & 3 year old obsesses with our son says "what is that" and he uses it ALL of the time.....

Lazy bones

Ate too much....must rest....mommy made me homemade baby food....can't eat anymore....must get some sleep.....brother is at grandma & grandpas house.....our house is quiet.....why do 2 year olds talk so much....mommy made homemade baby food.....I smell turkey....

Ansley & her daddy were having a staring contest the other night....I tried to catch it on film, but she caught me

She is showing us how strong her neck muscles are

So really I made a big mental note to do better with postings.......has not been working I know. The great thing is that there are only 2 weeks left in my semester and then I am off for a month; maybe I will do better then.

Happy Turkey Day!!

Happy Birthday Daddy!!

Daddy is 1 year older today!! So Austin made him a birthday card - copyright Thomas the Tank Engine!! Happy Birthday Daddho we are glad you are our Daddho!!!

Note to self: next year buy kids glue so that you do not have to put birthday card together with double sided tape while trying to entertain said 2.5 year old and .5 year old. Since when is tape so hard to use?

Enough

So as we were driving down the road to the nanny's house we saw a load of boats and I said to Austin that we should get Daddy a new boat for his birthday. Austin said "no, Daddy has enough boats." Note to self: red-headed child picks up and applies a bit too much of what his Mommy & Daddy say.....

Tired

So I was doing some work today on our house that required me to use my arms a lot. After about half an hour of work, I said "man Austin my arms are tired" to which he responded "you need to put them to bed" - ha

So then after lunch I said it was time to go take a nap and Austin said "and you can put your arms to bed too."

Literal thinker?

I promise to post pictures from out trip to Dallas soon!!

Amazing

I know some of you may take this in the wrong way - but this girl can take some funny pictures - funny in the sense of "oh my gosh that is the worst look ever!!"

She and Austin were hanging out today - she seems to like to play in this jumper thing - her feet are suspended mid-air as it is not good for babies her age to rest their weight on their legs yet (so we learned from a friend) so....we are just hanging out - again a weird expression on her face!!

Sleeping as usual - it's been cold here so she is bundled up

I was trying to catch her waiving the "hook 'em" horns sign that she does, but no such luck

Now here is the amazing picture - two things

a) this box is on it's side because it is Austin's computer - the other morning before we took our morning walk he went and got this box, put it up on end and said he needed to check his email!! WHAT!! Oh yes, "Austin let's go for our walk" "just a second I wanna check my email" - I have not laughed so hard in days!!!!!!! Then the rest of the day before we did anything, "wait let me check my email mommy" and in case you are wondering his password every time was 874, 874 he even typed on his pretend keyboard.......I think maybe I spend too much time on the computer checking email!

b) in the background of this picture are two pictures of my mom, who Austin calls Grandmother. They are at the end of the couch where I typically sit when I am feeding Ansley - and the other day he got on the side arm of the couch right by my mom's picture and said "nay, nay I am riding a horsey grandmother" and then "Mommy, grandmother and I are riding horses"

I am so glad he is able to "spend time" with my mom.......

Have a great week!

Halloween Pics

Here is our first draft of our Halloween Pictures - we won't get to celebrate Halloween as we are driving to Texas for a wedding on Halloween night so we are taking our pictures early....

This is Austin the Lion and Ansley the Pea-in-a-pod ---Austin has a tail on the back that wags as he walks - You cannot help but laughing hysterically when it happens - maybe better that we will not be around for the festivities on the 31st!!

We are going to take some more once the sun is not so bright in their little faces....
