In Search of Lost Time

Twee twinnyness

I miss the December Photo Project and its encouragement to post every day. But I'll see if I can keep some of the momentum going. Here are a few pictures from the last couple of weeks of the kiddos. Their distinct personalities often come together to create a sense of equilibrium (except when they don't).

Since we got their bunk beds, we don't have nearly as many of these sleeping moments. But they "camped out" at their Pap's house on our post-Christmas trip.

Snow!

While in Pittsburgh , they fell in love with Eat'n'Park's smiley cookies--both in edible and Christmas display forms.

And what's more twee than a snuggle?

DPP 23 & 24: Treats

Gingerbread pancakes on gingerbread plates in anticipation of the big weekend.

And I have fallen completely in love with Trader Joe's puff pastry. Cream cheese & dark chocolate croissants, and almond & marzipan croissants for today's brunch with immediate family.

Merry Christmas all!

DPP 21: Playtime

Kids were quiet and let me sleep in this morning (ya know, 8:15ish--nothing I would have considered sleeping in pre-kids, but pretty great at this stage).

Now, just a few months ago, that would have meant that I would have woken up to some kind of devastation, probably involving massive quantities of spilled food and/or something sticky.

At the lovely age of four (oh yes I love this age, yes I do!), I woke up to their cleverly constructed Chuck E. Cheese redux, with games (crawl into the sleeping bag!), a hand stamp (an old container), and a box of prizes (turn in your ticket for your choice of "beautiful, scary, or funny" prizes, aka, their little toys).

And when it started raining outside, it magically transformed into Noah's Ark, saving all of our lives.

Best of all, when play-time was over, they cleaned it up (with a few nudges from mama, to be sure).
