Gibson was lucky enough to get two of these cute worm toys for his birthday. Him and Layla have both been enjoying them and Layla even figured out they could be skates:). She's a very cautious little girl, so she's very careful on them:). It's so funny how her little mind works, when she was using them as skates I asked her where she got that idea from (because we haven't ever gone skating) and she said that Curious George wears skates:). Often when I ask her how she learned something it's from a tv show, although I swear she isn't allowed to watch too much tv:) (although she'd watch it all day if I let her!). The other night in Younkers she noticed what she called triangles on the floor (although they were really diamands) and was singing "We at the triangles, where we going next? To the mountain! Where we going next? To the mountain!" which is something that Dora would say. Their little imaginations just crack me up sometimes. She also often wishes she could take things out of the tv or lift things off of pages of books, like if she sees a toy in a book, she would say sadly, "I want that! I can't get it out!". Or this morning Gavin was showing her his tiny Disney busses (like matchbox cars size) and she said, "Oh, no, I can't go on this bus. I'm too big!". She also likes to talk about Jesus and will say, "Jesus up there! I can't reach him! *jump* He too high up!"

I'm determined to do the 30 Day Shred DVD every day until we leave for the Bahamas (we'll see how long that lasts!). Layla loves doing it with me (we're only on day 4:D)--especially the jumping jacks. This is her work out outfit and her "weights" :).

Gibson normally only falls asleep in the car or in bed, but the other day he got so sleepy eating lunch he fell asleep! He's been adjusting to just having an afternoon nap, so sometimes it's a struggle to keep him up much past lunch.

Modeling her ear muffs...

Excited that Daddy was home:)...

Gibson's sled he got for his birthday is still inside so they have fun playing with it:) (and I didn't realize I dressed them alike until after they were both dressed:)...

Taking a little rest...

And again...

He enjoys climbing over his Mickey plane:)...

He seems to finally be feeling better and is in much better spirits, he's back to his usual self of not carry if Layla lays on him:)...

We are at Em's today and I told Gavin to go pose by Layla and this is what he did:). The kids were having lots of fun in the kitchen though making food because they were "having lots of people over"--when Gavin was over last week they were making food for a big picnic:). Oh, and you can't see Gibs' shirt here, but both my kids are wearing their Mickey/Minnie shirts in anticipation of our upcoming trip to Disney World! We're going with Grampy and Gigi (and Mike and Em and Gavin are coming too) coming up and Layla is so excited! Every day she talks about going and says "I wanna go to Disney World! No, not yet! I'm gonna see Donald and Mickey and Daisy and Nemo" (and the list goes on). Good thing she loves Disney characters:). This will be Gibs' first visit and Layla's second, but she was 10 months the first time she went so she obviously doesn't remember it. I grew up going most years and am still a big Disney fan and can't wait to see how excited Layla will get about it. I'm trying now to gear her up for things like the airplane ride and the scary rides like Pirates of the Carribbean and am hoping she likes them and does well! She says the beast (from Beauty and the Beast) is scary too, but really likes him, so I'm hoping she likes other "scary" things too! And obviously hopefully Gibson does well too!
