Wordless Wednesday: Flour Fun

My grand idea on Valentine's day was demolished, literally. I wanted to make individual Heart Pizzas with the kids for dinner, but they had other plans. Half way through, it was just me and my daughter, my son decided he'd rather watch Transformers and the 15 month old, well did what most 15 month olds would rather do, he went off to terrorize the cat. After the Pizzas were in the oven, I ran into the other room to get something and when I came back into the kitchen to what did my wandering eyes appear? Two little kids on my kitchen table covered in flour, from ear to ear.
And well...everything with in a 20 ft radius got a nice dusting too.

Wordless Wednesday: Birthday Girl

My little girl is turning 4. A lot of growing happens in 4 years. Sophia is everything you could imagine and more. Making us laugh and smile and sing and dance. Every day is an adventure and I can't wait to see what the future will bring. She is our sunshine and our princess.

Wordless Wednesday: Special Delivery

This past week has been an exciting week in my household. Besides everyone getting sick and it going through my house like the plague, my sister welcomed twin baby boys into our family this past weekend.

Wordless Wednesday: Cousins

When I ask my son George, who is best friend is, he always answers without fail, cousin Thomas. Thomas and George born just two months apart never fail to entertain each other, make each other and they never fail to have fun. I found this poem searching the web, I am not sure who the author is, but it rings true in every word about these two little boy, cousins and hopefully friends forever.

Why God Made Little Boys   

God made the world out of his dreams

of mountains, oceans and streams,

prairies and plains, and wooded land.

Then he paused and thought, 

"I need someone to stand on top of the mountains,

to conquer the seas, explore the plains, and climb the trees."

And So...

He created boys, full of spirit and fun,

to explore and conquer and romp and run.

With dirty faces and banged up chins, 

with courteous hearts and boyish grins.

When he had completed the task, he had begun,

He surely said,

"That's a job well, done."

Wordless Wednesday: Snow Princess

Worldless Wednesday: Blogger in training

My 13 month old son is on a roll and it seems he fancies chairs and tables, climbing on them, standing on them and whatever else he can do on them. Since he sees everyone else in the family at the computer, once the chair is free he's up, smiling and doing his thing.

And I'm up.

Let me get this blog post in real quick before my mommy takes me off this chair.

Oooo..look at that!

Wordless Wednesday: Snowgirl Drama

One snowy day........

Sophia helping daddy build the Snowman.

All hands in, rolling the big base.

George and Sophia were determined they could lift the middle of the snowman onto its base.

In the middle of their valiant effort, George decided he was hungry,

George and daddy with the finished product, but guess who is missing......

...Sophia. She ended up throwing a fit because apparently we built a SnowMAN and not a SnowGIRL. So....

We built another one. More like my husband and I built another one, they kids gave up and went inside.

Wordless Wednesday: Snow Days

So, it's Wordless Wednesday and although I have been pretty wordless lately, except for the memes I participate in, I am looking to get a jump start on blogging by participating in Bloggy Moms Blog Dare for 2011. So January 1st, I'm back on the blogging train. In the meantime,  we had our first snow of the 2010-2011 winter season here in Jersey. The kids love the snow, but if this winter season is anything like last season, with record snowfall, we are in for it.

I love checking out all your Wordless Wednesday pictures, so keep 'em coming and thanks for linking up. If you want to meet some new bloggers, I also co-host a blog hop on Sunday called Swingin by Sunday, stop by and link up! But for now, let's get wordless......

Wordless Wednesday: All I want for Christmas......

Is my two front teeth.......

Wordless Wednesday: Sophia and Santa over the years....

First visit with Santa at our town's Breakfast with Santa, not having it.

Again, in 2008, the further away the better.

...And the trend continued last year with her preschool at their holiday concert. Upon seeing Santa, she jumped out of her seat faster than you could say Santa, Sophia on the far left
Santa on the far right.

What will this year hold? Check back next Wednesday!

Wordless Wednesday: We've got a walker.....

A picture is worth a thousand words, but so is this video!

I've wished this on John and now I hope I'm ready to be outnumbered but, 

Houston, we've got a walker.......

Wordless Wednesday: Princess Ballerina

My daughter has wanted to dance since, well birth, she dances every where, in every room, on the tables, in the park, where ever she can. She watches those Barbie ballerina movies and imitates the dance moves, better than Barbie. Once she was old enough to sign up for ballet class, she was so excited. For Halloween, they made it an extra special treat and let the girls wear their costumes to class and let the moms come in and watch, which is usually off limits.

 Ballerinas and Princesses, how could a little girl  resist.
