Random Stuff.

I love being a mother! I have said before, and I will say it again, my favorite thing is to watch the relationship between Lauren and Evan grow and deepen. It is true that as I listen to them play, I hear screams of protest, crying and an occational "no no buddy." But then laughter always follows that. They really do love each other. It is so rewarding to see the love they share for each other. The other night, I got to see a little bit of that love they have for each other. Evan was on the couch "reading" books. (both Lauren and Evan love books. That is one trait that they inherited from me. They definatly didn't get that from Chad). Lauren crawled up on the couch and started "reading" to Evan. (she had a lot of her books memorized) I ran and grabed my camera. Because, as all of you other mothers know, those moments can last all night long-or they could be over in a matter of seconds with one or both children in tears. It was one of those moments that as a mother, my heart swelled and I just sighed-So stinkin cute!! I feel bad for all of those kids out there that are only children. They miss out so much.





Yesterday, we went to the Treehouse Museum. It was the first time that Evan could walk around and play. He was nervous most of the time. He wouldn't let me put him down. I think he was thinking that it was like nursery. I would put him in frount of a fun toy and then sneak out. I am sure he was thinking "I know this trick, and you are not going to put me down and leave me here!" (Evan has yet to stay the whole 2 hours in nursery. Not sure how that is going to happen). He finally did start to play around towards the end of toddler time. They had fun though. I need to go there more because they both love it.







And now on to my super cute, very adorable, always entertaining little girl. She is so funny. Last night she was playing outside in the backyard. I went out to check on her and Evan. I can't just relax when they are playing outside. I have to check on them every ten min or so. I am a helicoptor mom, I am always hovering. Anyway-to my suprise, Lauren was carrying around a snail. My little princess, who loves to play with my make-up and is always wearing princess dresses, was playing with a dirty slimy icky snail. It was cute. She even kissed the gross thing (yuck). It was so cute to me that this little girl who was playing with a bug is the same little girl who is always trying to get me to wear jewlery. Funny girl!

Those pictures of Lauren reading to Evan are priceless, sooo cute! That makes me excited for my little boys to play together. I can't imagine being an only child. I can't believe your little girly princess was playing with a snail and even kissed it. That's cute that she has that side to her too!
