R2 « Love Me As I Am

Funnies Take 1,345

By Christi, on December 26th, 2011

Chris told R3 he was going to start calling her cupcake. Later that day when I called her that she said, “NO! Call me Coffee cup heart with pie and a strawberry on top” – methinks she doesnt understand the purpose of a nickname.

LMBO R3 just put a bracelet on Chris and then yanked it off and said, “Hey, you’re a boy not a girl, who gave you that bracelet?”

R2 has had a loose tooth (bottom front right, the perm one is already in behind it!) for a couple weeks. Well, today she finally yanked it out and then ran thru the house yelling, “I’m gonna get a hundred bucks!” R1 quickly informed her that she was not.

Day of Crafts

By Christi, on December 8th, 2011

The kids and I had some fun with crafts today!

Snowman handprint bulbs – this one is R3′s

then we made this cool “snowflake” for the tree.

We also made a bunch of snowflakes from coffee filters – R2 seems to have a knack!

Then the girls painted shiny pictures with condensed milk colored with food color. I’ll have to get some pics.

R2 Rhymes

By Christi, on November 27th, 2011

She came up to me and started whispering these little rhymes she was making up – I had to get them down.

I said this too soon
or maybe in a while
but I saw an elephant
eat a crocodile.

A crock ate a mile
from a crocodile.

A fast crow has no toes.

Haircuts

By Christi, on November 15th, 2011

The kids all needed a trim but then the girls decided they wanted CUTS! I was leery, I really love my girls’ hair, especially R2′s. Those curls! Well, Ms. Jessica not only cut it but she straightened R2′s, also, something we’ve never done. R2 LOVED it! She wouldn’t wash it for three days! LOL Here are a few quick snaps:

We trimmed the back of R1′s a bit, too, but it’s rare that I get a decent pic of him!

Bubble Painting

By Christi, on October 13th, 2011

I saw this blog and thought the girls would love it. Instead of popping the bubbles with their paper, though (partly because I missed that part in the directions) they just blew until the bubbles overflowed onto their papers. They had a blast!

Going to the Zoo

By Christi, on October 13th, 2011

We went to the Zoo, it’s been a really long time! Here are the highlights:

First column is pretty obvious. Second column, first pic – R1 says these are “rock star” monkeys / under that is the baby lion cubs / then R3 determined to pet EVERY goat in the petting area / and R3 wanting so badly to pet that rooster!.

Third column: R1 pretending to be Scooby Doo / R1 and then R2 feeding the lorikeets.

Fourth column: R3 feeding them “Look, I’m not even freaking out!” she said. And then the girls pretending to be captured by the monster.

Girlie Fun

By Christi, on October 8th, 2011

R2 had seen this pic on pinterest and while we were visiting my grandparents last weekend and playing with chalk we decided to give it a shot. Not bad for a last minute shot and the girls had a blast.

Fun, fun fun!

By Christi, on September 29th, 2011

The kids loved this shoot so much the last time we did it they begged to do it again. Here are a few pics:

The top one is an outtake but I love it. The bottom one, the pose was R2′s idea and I thought it was so sweet.

Clean Mud/Clouds

By Christi, on September 12th, 2011

This was fun!

Watching the soap in the microwave – they were thoroughly impressed by this!

Adding the toilet paper:

Add a little color and viola! FUN!

Elephant Watering Can and AL State Flag Cookies

By Christi, on August 25th, 2011

One of R3′s chores is to water the plants. She was carrying a cup of water back and forth to fill it about 3 trips and was asking for a watering can. I found the cutest idea in the Family Fun magazine and decided to make it for her.

Here we are gluing on the eyes and ears.
