Since both kiddies are asleep I figured I'd get in a quick entry. Who knows when this will happen again! Hmmmm. Maybe I should be sleeping....
No matter! On to the posting, my friends!
Did I mention that Mikey loves to eat? He now tells me what he wants to eat.
For example, he'll point at the fruit bowl, I'll carry him over and then he will select his fruit of choice. On this day it was a super ripe pluot.
Watch the mess unfold.....
STEP 1: GET A FIRM GRIP OF THE PLUOT AND TAKE FIRST BITE.
STEP 2: SHOW MOMMY YOUR HALF EATEN PLUOT.
JUICE MUST DRIP DOWN ARM.
STEP 3: FINISH PLUOT. SIT QUIETLY AND HATCH
PLAN TO GET ANOTHER PLUOT.
Katie has some new pets. Meet The Ants.
Yep. The ants for the ant farm arrived this past weekend. It was my job to get them into their new home. It was kinda creepy. I had to put them in the fridge for 15 minutes to make them sleepy so that they wouldn't try to escape the tube they were shipped in. I guess, from what I read, the suckers can bite. I took them outside after their cold shock treatment and tried to pour them into the farm. Well, some of them must be cold resistant 'cause about 5 of them tried to escape by crawling up the outside of the tube. The resistance was quickly smooshed.
I have to say the ants are pretty awesome. They immediately got to work. They moved the dead ants off to the side of the farm and started digging a tunnel. They took the sand from the tunnel dig and mounded it on top of the dead guys. Weird....but fascinating. I'll try and post an updated pic of their tunnels.
We've also gone Lego crazy around here. We've been thinking about redo-ing our kitchen and, I guess, our entire downstairs. To get an idea of how our new plan would look, Huzbend built it out of Legos. Yeah. I know. HOLY NERDDOM, BATMAN.
One caveat, only the upper half of what you see below is actually our house remodel. The lower half including the horse, Admiral Akbar napping and the StormTrooper powwow are Katie additions.
Here is our new living room set up....
And here is our new kitchen/dining room lay-out.....
