Fun times

We forgot to tell you the fun we had last week. Uncle Ryan and Grandma were talking about his boring life and school and we found some candy Grandma had and since she is on a diet we thought we would help her. We got it down and then unwrapped it. It was pretty good. They caught us so we only had one piece each. Boy they were funny trying to count the wrappers and candy left to find out how much we had eaten. Grandma ate two pieces of dark chocolate with nuts. She said it was so we wouldn't eat them and get sick, but we don't believe her.

Uncle Ryan

Today while Mom went to a meeting at school. (Grandma was at jury duty) Uncle Ryan took care of us. I think Quaid and Uncle Ryan had fun. Here is a picture Grandpa took of them. They looked tired, but we aren't.

Home with Mommy- Alyssa's Perspective

So... Mommy thought that we would sleep in on her day off. We totally woke up early so we could bother and crawl all over mommy in her bed. "She totally loved it, don't you think so Mia?" Mommy loves us sooo much that she can't wait to cuddle with us early in the morning.

After we played and bugged mommy, we got really hungry. Mommy fed us our breakfast and we even got to use our own spoons. We didn't even make a mess, "Yeah Right!"

I really hope that mommy has a fun day planned for us.

Journey to the Car

Guess what we did this morning? Your right! W went to grandma's house.

When mommy let us out the front door we stood and waited for her to tell us what to do. She locked the door and said, "Okay babies, Lets go to the car." So off we went. We didn't yell and scream like we normally do at 6:30am. We kept looking at mommy and she siad to us that we were being good babies. We would smile and keep going.

"I even stayed on the grass when mommy put Alyssa into the car."

"I would have if she asked me to!"

"Yeah right, Alyssa."

Then mommy strapped us into our carseats and told us how proud she was of us. We were so proud of ourselves.

"We must be big girls now, Mia"

"You really think we are all grown up Mia?"

Our Weekend

Yesterday was Saturday and we had so much fun. First we got to go shopping with our mommy and our twin friends named Katie and James. Our mommys' weren't thinking when they let us out to play. We all acted like we were going to play with the "baby toys" but then we all got together and decided it would be fun if we all ran in different directions. It was fabulous watching our mommies run around trying to wrangle us. I don't know how they caught all of us, but before we knew it we were trapped in our strollers agian. Mia looked at Katie and said in baby language, "what just happened?" "How did we get caught so fast?" All in all the mall was ok, we didn't get any toys! Maybe next time.

Napping problems

Alyssa says:
I don't get it. Mia is tired so I have to take a nap too. I still want to run around and help Grandma with the sweeping and today I got to help her mop the kitchen floor.
Mia is still asleep when I wake up so I just yell and scream at her until she wakes up too.

Mia says:
We looked very cute today in our white cable knit sweaters with white fur around our faces. We went for another walk but it was cut short because Uncle Ryan came home and we wanted to follow him around. He is fun. He holds us upside down. Grandma always tells him to watch out because we could throw up on him. Maybe we will some day. That would be fun.

Fun Day!!!

Mia speaks:
Well yesterday was a fun, fun day. If Grandma could figure out how to put a picture on the blog you could see how funny looking Alyssa was when she fell asleep at the lunch table. Uncle Ryan tickled her and she batted his hand away and still stayed asleep. It was soooo funny. She even was snoring. I looked very cute in the picture.
You can also see on the picture (when we get it put up) that I have a boo boo on my forehead. We were tearing up the house so Grandma thought it would be a great idea if we went outside in front. We thought it was a good idea too. I fell and hit my head. It didn't show up at first so I cried and Grandma carried me on our walk to the circle end of the block. Grandma was not too happy. I was crying, Quaid was pooping on every lawn, and Alyssa was running ahead.
Well when Grandma saw that I needed ice on my head we tried to head home. I didn't want to be put down, Quaid was in the middle of the road (he can't see or hear very well), and Alyssa was holding Grandma's hand but making herself fall so she didn't have to go back home.
Grandma said that taking a walk was the stupidest idea she has ever had. Alyssa sure acted like a baby.
Alyssa's rebuttle:
I am not a baby!!! I just didn't want to go home yet just because Mia had a little owie on her head.
And I also think it is mean to make fun of me when I am asleep. And I don't think you look all that cute in the picture, Mia!!!
I walked and crawled first, so there!!

First day back from vacation

Today we went to grandma's because our mom and dad had to go to work. We had a great time. We straightened out her clear plastic bowls and tops. Well we took them out she had to put them back in. We worked on reorganizing her pats and pans too. Alyssa even closed the dishwasher for Grandma. a few times We really would like to help her sort through the stuff in the dishwasher but she always wants us to close the door.
Upstairs Mia cleaned off Grandma's computer table. From the "Oh. No!" Grandma said when she saw her do it I am not sure Grandma was very happy, but we found some silver round flat things and we brought them to her. She seemed happy about that.
We were in the cuddling mood today so Grandma held us alot.
Uncle Ryan left some water bottles out so we each got one and walked around the house acting like we were drinking water. We were sooooo cool.
I think we did a good job today helping Grandma clean the house and cupboards and keeping her company. She wouldn't have anything to do if we weren't there.

Our first day back at grandmas

We were so excited when we pulled up to grandma's house at 6:30am this morning. We were kicking our feet and yelping in the back seat from mommy to let us out. When mommy unlocked us from our car seats we waddled as fast as our legs could carry us into grandma's house to eat our bananna pancakes and fruit. We then played all day and had a good time. When mommy came to pick us up we were studying our numbers with grandma.

Mia's viewpoint

I think I might be teething agian. My mouth really hurts and I can't stop drooling and I was cranky today. I wanted daddy to hold me all day because I hurt. When daddy and mommy weren't holding me I was busy today unplugging things and getting into trouble.

Alyssa's Viewpoint

So last night I was a naughty baby. I kept my mommy and daddy up most of the night. I kept crying very loudly. I think I had a night terror, because it was very scary. I finally went back to sleep but woke up again at 4:30am wanting to play. I sure napped good all day so mommy should be happy about that although she was not able to nap with me.

Alyssa's viewpoint

Today has been really fun. I went to Target with mommy to pick out shoes for Mia and I. I really wanted glitter shoes but they didn't come in my size. After I got what we wanted, we came home to show Mia and daddy. I showed off my new shoes by walking around the house looking at my feet. Mia liked her new shoes too.

Meeting new friends

Today mommy and daddy took us to Osage Park in Danville to meet a new friend. Her name was Madison. She was 2 1/2 years old. Madison liked the slide and we did too. Our daddy took us on the slide and taught us how to slide down fast. Did we mention that is was BBRRRR cold. We even had to wear our winter warmies. When we got grumpy and hungry then mommy said it was time to go. We had such a good time that we napped all the way home snoring as load as we could.
