So much to catch up on!

Okay, I've been pretty lazy about posting in the last week, so I'm gonna catch you up on what's been going on.

Here is a cute nakey picture of my sweet Anna girl:

On Tuesday, my washing machine flooded the laundry room/hall. Luckily, Eric works for a restoration company that also does water mitigation. The vinyl and underlayment had to come out so we will be remodeling sooner than we had planned. Ayden had a blast while the workers were here! He kept telling them that all the water came from the "toinet". He was also saying things like, "that's mama's broom" and "that's daddy's hammer". He had to gather up all of his hammers so he could help the guys, it was really cute.

Thursday, I took the kids to a local church that, during the fall and winter months, hosts playtime from 10 to 12 on Thursdays and Fridays. They have all kinds of toys including stuff for crawlers, balls, cars, trikes, slides and stuff to climb on, play kitchens, a basketball hoop, and spring horseys. It only costs $1.25 to play and it is so worth it! Ayden was having a great time playing with all the different kinds of toys. He had so much fun that we are going to start going there every Thursday to play.

Here's a fun one of Anna gettin' down an' dirty with her chicken lasagna:

Last night (Friday), Ayden had found Eric's basketball in the garage and brought it in the house to play with. When I called him for dinner he decided that the basketball needed to sit at the table, also. First, he put it in daddy's spot, but was told that daddy needed to sit there. Then, he put it in his own chair, but realized that it couldn't sit there because that was his seat. He decided that it could sit on one of the stools at the end of the table, and sit there it did. About halfway through dinner, Ayden held out a spoonful of dinner in the general direction of the end of the table where the ball was and said, "he need a bite". This is also where the door to the backyard is, so I thought Ayden was saying that he wanted to share his dinner with Otis (our dog), who was at the door begging to be let in. I then proceeded to lecture Ayden about how we are never supposed to feed Otis food from the table. He cut me off mid-lecture and said, "I gonna' share to the basketball!" and he leaned as far as he could toward the basketball with his little spoon held out there for it to take a bite. Being a smart little fellow and very observant, Ayden soon realized that, "he doesn't have any mouth". I was quite tickled!

After dinner, I used a wash cloth and cleaned Ayden up. As soon as he got out of his chair he picked the rag up and started cleaning up his basketball so that it too could be excused from the table.
