Abbie-This week we finished reading Gooney Bird Greene and Magic Tree House #2. We started Paddington Bear, but its kind of slow going because mummy would rather read it in an english accent. After we finish reading Paddington, we are going to have a tea party with buns, cream, and marmalade jam. As a mother, I am not enjoying Paddington as much as when I was a little girl because HE IS SO STINKING MESSY!! And I don't have Ms. Bird to clean up after him. You made dinner for the family all by yourself on Saturday. You chose the recipe out of the very cool and retro Betty Crocker cookbook for kids (1957) and did everything but put it in the oven. (It was a healthy and delicious tuna caserole of tuna, cream of mushroom soup, peas, and potato chips... you chose carrots and oranges as the sides). You like to wear your bathrobe all day long just like your mummy.
Amelia-It is so funny to me how you have such a deep throaty cackle when you laugh. I can't tell if you are faking it or not but it really cracks me up. I gave you a whole banana (a hoo hoo ha) and you are used to getting a half a banana at a time. I handed it to you and you went around saying "ewww..augHH. So Heavy mama." After church you entertained everyone by pulling down your tights and started running in the knee high snow. I was NOT going after you, and so I joined everyone by laughing and pointing at that silly little girl who was laughing like a hyena. You like to wear your bathrobe all day long just like your big sister.
Max-We started you on a sippy cup this week. I guess we are just going to skip the bottle phase altogether. You are so fun because you love to play with all the toys. The girls only played with some but you are a fan of everything toy-ish. I broke down and bought baby food for you. I would much rather just serve you what we are having but its taking way too long to introduce you to all the foods and we don't always have leftover of whatever to last for the whole week while I see how you react to it. I do really hate to see you eat the jarred stuff though. Here you are having a go at my pantry while I do the dishes (photo taken by Abbie)

I can imagine what Paddington sounds like at your house. It makes me feel all snuggly. Why are you a nice sweet mommy and I am a "read to yourself" mommy?
