while trying to be productive...

cute kids need their pictures taken...
(I have actually made a bit of progress on the girls' room. I found and bought fabric for curtains this morning and then spent the rest of the time making my brain hurt thinking about how to sew them. I'll try to keep ya updated. :))

madeline must be in some kind of growth spurt. At Nana's birthday party Madeline (and all the kiddos) ate a huge bowl of "macky" (as the girls like to call mac and cheese) along with tons of fruit etc. Afterward, when the table had been cleared and we were getting ready for gifts, Madeline sat herself down again and asked for more "macky". I didn't take her very seriously so i just sat the whole pot of left-overs in front of her to see what she'd do and sure enough, she ate every last bit of it using only the spatula! 

here sophie was completely mesmerized by some bugs in the back yard. doesn't she have the cutest little ski-jump nose ever?

sweet Will and his Nana. cute story today: will was on his way to walk to swim lessons with andrew when the girls (specifically Sophie) got wind that he was going to the pool. Apparently this caused major distress because Will ran into the room where i was and pleaded with me in his most adult voice to "please go try to make sophie happy...she is just really sad that i'm going to the pool and doesn't understand that it's for a swim lesson... i tried to tell her but...she just really needs...can you just give her some comforts?"
