A BIG BOY BED!!!! (and a birthday..lol)

Brief note...today was Dorothy (aka Kaysha and Keisha)'s birthday...so we celebrated..lol!

After much talk (me, while Jason just looked at me..lol), we decided to switch Cash's crib over to the toddler bed. He loves Mabs big girl bed and we knew he'd be so excited....and he was!!!! Now let's hope this helps his sleep (and mama's)...he couldn't even wait til Daddy was done putting it together before he was snuggling in it (those pics are on my phone).

I had to tell both of them repeatedly there was a rule...no jumping in the little bed. ACK!

Showing us how you lay in a big boy bed.

Mabs DYING to get in it with him...

Cash's dream come true :)

Sharing with his sissy :)

And how sweet is she?!?!!!

A test and a mess ;)

Testing out my early Christmas gift...a Flip video recorder :)

Getting ready for Christmas :)

We decided to go ahead and decorate for Christmas since we'll be out of town, Mabelle was SUPER excited but wanted to make sure we didn't forget about Thanksgiving (cause it IS the next holiday). LOL! Here's Mabelle decorating her tree, we got her a pink one at Walmart this year and gave her regular green one to Cashy (now just to get some ornaments for his).

Decorated it on the floor...

And then moved it to her dresser. She LOOOOVES IT!

And here's what Cash was doing as Mabelle was decorating...jumping on Dad's head. (yes, he's wearing Mabs' Sulley socks...he insisted)

Then giving him big hugs. So sweet :)

Below is the slideshow of us decorating the big tree. ENJOY!

Insert hand in front of pants.

Proceed like it's natural...don't let any efforts deter this action.

Pull your pants down.
Let your butt hang out.

How to Eat an Oreo...according to Cash.

How to Eat an Oreo...according to Cash.
First take two small bites of the cookie...and next is the most important part of eating an Oreo (and the only one Cash actually follows)...Lick the middle. That's it. The middle. It's THE most important part of the Oreo.

And as always...SMILE for the camera!

Maintaining fabulousness while playing T-ball

We've had this great t-ball set for over a year and just haven't dug it out of the closet to put together. Well we did last weekend, and it's a hit (hahahaa). Mabelle loves to practice hitting the ball, Cash loves to chase the ball...now just to get them to make sure Cashy's head isn't near her swing is another story.

Hitting the ball...do you see the ball flying towards me?! ACK!

Hair back...she's even better!

Placing the ball on the tee...her power swing breaks the top of that every other hit.

ANd here's how we discovered to keep Cash out of the line of fire...

How to Wash a Doggie....according to Mabelle.

How to Wash a Doggie....according to Mabelle.
Start by getting the dog wet, and get a good lather going.

Next, realize it's chipping your freshly painted red finernails and let Daddy finish the washing for you.

After the scrubbing, washing, rinsing and shaking is completed...observe Daddy start the towel drying because of said fingernails chipping.

Pretend to start to help towel dry...while brother gets bored with the lesson.

Decide that you can help with her feet...but that's it, no more.

And waaaaalaaaaaaaaa...Mabelle washed Ruby ;)

How to Eat Yogurt...according to Cash

I'm going to start a series of these "How To" posts...I figure this is a great one to start off with :)

How to Eat Yogurt...according to Cash:

Make sure to hold your spoon tight, and take the first bite with it.

Any and all subsequent bites need to be made with opposite hand.

Don't forget to squeal in delight.

And make sure to cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese for the camera...no matter what you're doing, that's always THE most important thing.

Now back to the yogurt...
