Let me just say, that I still feel I need to be outside when my kids are playing because I get nervous with all the strangers and the cars, etc...Even though, I know my kids know better. I see other kids walking around the block by themselves, riding their bikes in the streets (I did that!) and I am having issues with my kids playing in the front yard without me. So, I go outside with them and take pictures while they play.
My daughter never took interest in dolls, so we have none in our house. However, in Art class in school she had made this little doll. She was very proud of it, trying to think of a name for her and also trying to get Bernadette to like her doll, too. She was carrying it around as if she had played with dolls all her life. Last night, I even found her doll in bed with her as she slept. Awwww....I'm just not used to seeing that sort of stuff with Anne. With all the boy toys in our house (Cars, trains, legos, etc...) and the lack of the girl toys, it's sweet.
Anne was sharing her doll with Bernadette, but she was really just running all around the place happy to be out of the house!
I just recently cut Bernadette's hair. I was never in favor for bangs, but I was sort of tired of always putting her hair up. Her hair is very thin compared to Anne's and it's just harder to do. So, I watched a few youtube videos and had my game plan on how to cut her hair. Hmph...it didn't go so smoothly and it was very traumatic for Bernadette. I'll post a picture later.
With her new haircut, she looks a lot like I did when I was her age. I hate talking about it without a photo! Her profile already looks a lot like me as a child. It's that nose!
I have a little model in the family who likes it when the camera is in his face. I was practicing my tack sharp photos. Something so basic, but I never get it quite right.
Hello Eddie.
Another one? Ok... Eyes not in focus, mouth is...whoops.
Oh yeah...I like this one.
Had to stick a silly one in there. He may not be able say everything that is on his mind, but his facial expressions do.
There goes Patrick whizzing by as fast as he can.
So, when it is too cold to go outside and play we play board games. We have had a lot of fun with Junior Monopoly, but the kids seem to be ready for regular Monopoly. I always found that game confusing as a child so I never played it. As an adult, I still find it a little confusing with all the complex rules, strategies to building, mortgaging, going to jail, taxes, etc... Never found that stuff interesting as a kid (and as an adult), give me Candyland or Chutes and Ladders!
My Anne loves it. It was fun playing with my kids. Watching them count their money, build their monopolies and beat me as I lost all my money landing on my daughter's hotel on Boardwalk.
Anne beat us all in Monopoly! We've played a few board games recently - Monopoly, Scattagories, Poker (not a board game) and Clue. I never played Clue before - it was fun, I won :-) Any other family favorites out there?
