Dirt and Other Things

Now that I FINALLY finished my Disney blog, I'm trying to get caught up on other things that have been going on although I'm pretty sure I'll never fully be caught up:(. Sorry, kids, since this is basically your baby book:(.

This is from a few minutes ago. I haven't put the Backyardigans on in a very long time but it was on now and Gibs is actually really liking it! I don't need him LOVING tv, but it'd be nice if he watched it a bit! They both danced along to the intro song and Gibs has been bouncing along to the songs while sitting here since then:). I love watching them dance together, too cute! And yes, Layla's hair could stand to be brushed after her rest time (she didn't even sleep--just laid in bed for awhile and played) :).


We had some birds take over our grill awhile back when we were gone for the weekend. So now our grill is out of commission until they flee the nest. Here they are shortly after being hatched. Layla has found the whole thing quite interesting and wants to still look at the birdies, but since they can now sort of fly I don't dare open the grill or I'm afraid they'll fly out and then fall and crash onto our deck:(. So we're letting them be for now. Once they're gone we need to get our grill fixed and powerwash our deck to get the bird poop off!

The kids are always excited to see Joe when he gets home!

Typical Gibs...walking in Daddy's shoes, er, sandal, and holding Layla's sunglasses:). Don't mind his onesie--he had just gotten up and I had taken off his jammies.

This week the kids have been really into playing with pillows which turns into huge fights since Layla wants to build "tents" with them (connecting our chair to our ottoman) and Gibs just wants to climb on top of them. They especially love my body pillow:). Layla just learned how to fully do a sumersault so she likes using them for that too:).

Don't worry, the fork is clean:)...

I thought it was cute that he was watching tv like this (for about a minute:D)...

Last Saturday Joe took the kids to see Uncle Steve move some dirt around for his and Heidi's new house. Joe said they might get really dirty so they wore basically the ugliest clothes they own (or stained) :). Here's Gibs walking with Auntie Rachael in his shorts that are more like capris and hiking shoes...

Joe having too much fun:)...

Hanging out with Grandma...
