trees and kisses


Yay for our new crepe myrtle tree Eric planted in the front yard this weekend. I love the little tree already and what I know it will become! I have found I love being out digging in dirt, spreading mulch and creating a great little world on the outside of the house. With these babies of course I cannot do this as much as I would like, but as Eric says... only a FEW more years before they're out. LOL... We did not get a whole lot done this weekend- I have said for weeks we need to clean the entire house and that never gets done. We sleep as late as possible Saturday and then do our pancake breakfast (Bella gets baby ones =), and after feeding and playing we are worn out and want a nap. We did go to nurseries looking for plants and shrubs. After digging a ginormous hole for the crepe myrtle, Eric was spent. Though I did not get everything clean for the in-laws coming to stay in a couple weeks, there is still time for a vacuuming and quick shove-it-in-the-closet. Too bad they are bringing the boat and I can't yet enjoy it since the girls are too little to ride.


I see now that I should applaud those with babies and how they maintain cleanliness and schedules, bathtub and brushing teeth. Bella is LOVING the bath- so much so that I cannot on my own at times remove her from it. Tot HATES a bath, so she screams until it is over.


Bella is trying to learn to blow kisses... she puts her hand to her mouth but then she whoops like a little indian. She also does peek-a-boo by putting her hands over her ears. Oh well. We'll work on it =) I think it's cute that when Tot (Lauren), is in her crib playing with her feet (her fave activity now), and you walk up and talk to her, she gives this huge grin and gets so excited you think she'll catapult herself out onto the floor.


Must give snack and bottle!
