For Christmas Evan got a guitar from Grandma Jennie! Usually Evan is the possessive, jealous one of everything Cora Grace touches but the closer she approaches "2" (yikes), that curly blond haired blue eyed charmer is transforming... for the worse. ;) She kept grabbing at Evan's guitar and he's not always excited about sharing, especially something so special so what's a mom to do but go to World market and pick her up her very own one (to destroy). Little Lady is in heaven and siblings have great JAM sessions in Evan's room. I try to get them to respect the instruments even though they aren't "Martin" guitars or anything. It's the principle. They have to sit down with them to play or I put them back up. They have been pretty good about following the rules until CG gets bored and gets up. Then all heck breaks loose and there's mass pandemonium. he he he. aka, Evan's good at follow the leader and is right on her coat tails so not to miss out on anything she is doing. :) Oh well. I said I "try" to get them to respect the guitars.
Next crop of pictures is around the house. I got some fairy wings on clearance from Target and both kids wore them for fun. Cora really kinda liked them. Evan loved them too... for a minute. :)

| Entertaining the children with a few chips. Mean mommy only lets them have a few. My attempt to teach them it's a treat and not an option as a 'side or meal'. lol. |
Oh my goodness. I must discuss the computers. Evan has had his computer for at least a year. He has always loved it and even learned on it. My sister in law Nanci asked about getting this computer for Evan for Christmas and after I explained he had it, I quickly assured her it would actually be perfect for Cora so now we have two and the kids LOVE them!!! They could play for hours and do. Evan is the boss (for reals) and sets up their computers across from each other like battle ship. Next he presses the same buttons at the same time on each computer to give himself surround sound or something. :) We just love this gift too. So much that I got jealous and one time got my computer out to play with them. Now they can pretend to be mommy, editing all these photos and I can be them, enjoying each other and learning their abc's, 123's, item/animal etc sounds and music. Love it.

| I made Betty Crockers Strawberry Pretzel Salad for Christmas dinner. Mmmm. I was inspired because even though I'd had it before, it had been YEARS till this Thanksgiving when my sister in law Jennifer made a raspberry one. YUM! I'd never made one but went to my cookbook and there it was. easy as pie. So here it is for you to look and drool over it's yummy goodness. xo |

| In the past couple months we've experimented with underwear. Just a note cause we're definitely still in diapers up in 'her. |
Who's got 2 thumbs and a Neeeew couch/thing? I do! I have wanted something convertible like a futon since the kids were born, to put in their room. There is no adult seating and I'm getting way to old to get up and down from the floor. lol. Anyway, I found this at World Market on clearance. Whoo hoo! Evan posed in the store with it when we were trying to convince daddy and both kids demonstrated their cute siblingness when you put both arms down for overnight guests (from California?!). Just sayin'. :)

Your kids have some "Wutkee" in them. As in "what key" are you playing on your guitar. he he.
That strawberry pretzel "salad" is my favorite. You can eat it at the beginning of a meal as a salad and ending as a dessert!
serif loved this post! he wants to come play and asked if Evan would share. hehe. I told him he needed to take his too and share it with Evan and Cora. :)
