True sisters

Natalie found the vacuum tube at the museum to be a lot of fun. Her and this other little girl played with it for 20 mins. I love in this video that Kate would rather give the ball to a complete stranger then her own sister. This in my mind made them true sisters. How many of us have done something to our sister just out of spite and because we could. Of course we are all gone up and only handle things in a mature way now!!! HaHa

Kate's potty training

So I am the biggest slacker when it comes to potty training. I had been dragging my feet getting started but Kate didn't seem to mind. When I finally decided to get started I found out that Kate doesn't have a problem peeing in her panties. So far the only thing that is working is if I let her run around naked she doesn't seems to pee on the floor as much. Hopefully we will have her potty trained by the time she starts school.

Butter

Paul has been getting very creative in the kitchen. He makes bread all the time and in the picture below he is making butter. Yes....butter!! It actually turned out and taste pretty good. He has been trying new recipes with chicken and other meats. I love watching him have fun in the kitchen. He also involves the kids and has them help him make pudding and brownies.

Chucky Cheese

So after the museum we went to Chucky Cheese's. It was completely trashy. It was dirty and the games were crammed in there....it made it so there was hardly any room to walk around. Plus there were so many people and I didn't like the food. I don't think we will be going back.The girls did like the rides but the games were a little hard to get into......not old enough for that yet.

Big toys

Outside the Children's Museum there was three trackers that they let the kids climb on. It was so cold that I didn't want to stay long but it took forever to get the girls off of them. Katelyn got into the bucket fine but when she tried to get out she kept falling. It was really slippery and she couldn't get her feet. Of course Paul and I had to stand there and laugh the first couple of times before we helped her.

Children's Museum

We took the girls to the Portland's Children's Museum and had a lot of fun. I have never been and Paul went years ago so it was actually fun for everyone. It was basically just a huge circus with kids running every where.

Natalie was very good at staying close to Paul and I. Katelyn on the hand....we lost three times!!! She had no problem taking off to do what she wanted. We would only look away for a second and she was gone.

While the museum was fun they charge $8.00 per person over the age of one and I wasn't willing to pay that price. I found that our local library lets you check out 3 passes as long as you bring them back the same day. We only had to pay $8.00 for all of us to get in.

They have a really cool water section that the kids spent most of their time. They give you slickers to wear so your kids don't get completely drenched.

Blazers

I know I have been horribly about blogging lately but I am determined to get better. Anyways Paul, I and some friends went to a Blazer game last night and I really had a lot of fun. We were totally in the cheap seats and man that is high up there. I was involved in sports at an early age so after high school I lost interest and didn't follow sports anymore......(Ok maybe a little WWE......go triple H!!!!) It was so much fun to watch the game and totally understand what was going on. I even got into the cheering and try catching the free t-shirts. The only thing that kind of back fired was that Paul was bored out of his mind. Go figure he is not the athletic type.....maybe next time it will be something we both like. He said he wouldn't mind going to Smack down!!

Natalie's bad habit

So lately whenever Kate is doing something to Natalie that she doesn't like and gets fed up she pokes her in the eye and sends Kate off crying. I came home last night and Kate was up out of bed crying so I went to check on her. She wouldn't open her eyes and kept telling me that her eye hurts. I looked at her eye and it was all red and her skin was pink so I though she was having some sort of reaction to something. I asked Paul about it and he said Natalie poked her in the eye again. Paul had heard Katelyn screaming and found her and Natalie sitting in a fort and Paul asked Natalie if she hurt Kate. Of course her response was "No" so then he asked why is she crying and Natalie answered "because I poked her in the eye". Because of all of this when Paul took Natalie to school he talked with her teacher and asked if Natalie had poked anyone in the eye and that she was doing it at home. The teacher said that Natalie was most polite kid she has in the class. She said Natalie always listen, never talks out of turn and always says please and thank you. Paul told the teacher that she must save all the other behavior for at home.

Happy Birthday Mimi

Happy Birthday Mimi!!!! The girls wanted to wish you a happy birthday. Katelyn wasn't much of a talker and Natalie was a little shy but it is what it is. Hope you have a great day.
