Twins???

Whoa...do they look alike or what?!?!?! Click on the pic if you need a closer examination :)

Eyes, nose...cheeks, mouth...double chin....

A Comedian in the Family...

Mabelle and I were playing inside yesterday, while the dogs were outside. And our dogs are spoiled rotten, can't stand to be outside because there's nothing soft to lay on...always want to be inside, even during the nicest of weather. Well Daisy was bark/whining and Ruby was trying to dig a hole thru the glass door, they were driving me insane! So Mabelle and I went to the door to let them in, and I said "Ughhhh, Mabelle, the dogs are driving me BANANAS!!"...and she replied (without hesitation), "Mom, the dogs are driving me ORANGES!" I couldn't stop laughing...it was hilarious.

EDITED TO ADD...forgot to mention, she continued the comedic act last night, telling Daddy and Papa that the dogs were driving her grapes, then berries! LOL! At least she's keeping it in the fruits, so funny...

A little of our day today :)

A day in our life...

Cash brushing her hair...she FREAKS out if we try to brush her hair, but lets him brush it no problem!
Even smiles at him!

He really is brushing her hair!

Mabelle loving her flower Daddy gave her.

Can you see how sweet Mabelle is looking at Cash? So funny!

And Daddy good-bye tickles and sugar!!

I'm too cool for you, Mom.

Cutie Patootie.

Waving good bye to Daddy...they BOTH follow him to the door every time he leaves! Even Ruby went this time.
And then she rushes to the front window to watch him drive away...and the crying ensues...

Cash finds a car that was his GrandDad's when he was a boy...he played with it forever!

Mabelle recovered from Daddy leaving and now doing her state puzzle.

Later, playing Willie Wonka...she's Mike Teevee in the tv.
Watching the old school Oompa Loompa song on my phone. She now sings the old song very LOUDLY and over and over again..."oompa loompa oompa dee do, i've got another puzzle for you"

Showing Daddy how strong he is...uuuuhhh.

Playing in the driveway.

We've been hanging in the driveway, playing more and more lately. Nice weather, and not as many germs as we find at the parks ;)

Riding her trike...she's really good at pedaling (finally...hahaha).

YAY bubbles!!

Trying to do the bubbles herself.

Dancing because of the bubbles.

Cash screaming/crying cause he was inside (he was napping).

Coloring the right way.

He's learning!!

Still learning..sometimes it's easier to hold the paper down if you sit on it! (notice him coloring Pablo's beak yellow...smartie pants!)

Back to his old tricks.

And....over it.

It never ends...

We woke up this morning (on Jason's first day off in a week...after working several doubles and us not seeing him at all) to Mabelle having a pinkish eye and being a little more congested than the past week. He insisted we take her to the doc...I disagreed...strongly. After a few minutes of me putting up a fight, I reluctantly called the doc and got an appointment for Mabelle this morning. After I got ready and there was not enough time for Jason to shower (muah ha ha), I told him that he and Cash were also going (I was adament that she just had a cold and was angry we were dragging her BACK to the doc). Anyhoo...get to the doc's office, and we go ahead and ask if we can get Cash looked at also (since he still had a lingering cough). Well...turns out Jason was right (which rarely happens...hahaha). Both kids tested positive for RSV and both have sinus infections!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! The doc was surprised they still tested positive, but said they probably passed it back and forth (which is inevitable, since Mabelle LOVES to be in Cash's face, and Cash loves to give her sugar). They are not 'acting' sick, just have lots of snot & lingering coughs.

We are now armed with a new medicinal assault....continue the breathing treatment for one more week (been on it nonstop for 3 weeks, since coughs never stopped), antibiotics for 5 days, and 2 weeks of singulair (been 3 weeks of that so far too)/zyrtec/nasanex. I really hope this kicks those germs' butts...I'm sick of sickness and I can guarantee you the kids are sick of sickness & medicine (Mabelle HATES her nose spray....HATES.)

Here's my sick babies eating their own goldfish, out of their own bowls...Cash has super runny nose in this pic :)

HILARIOUS!

"Wheeee...I'm not sick, Mama"

Him pushing her backwards, she was surprised he could do that.

Riding his firetruck...looking cute.

Gifts Galore...

The kids got a big package from their Auntie Heather (& Georgie...;) this week...and I'm sure Heather knows that if you send a birthday/Christmas/birthday/Valentine/Easter package late (well Easter is early...hahahaha), that you get your own blog post. That was her plan the whole time, sneaky girl. The kids loved it all, especially the goldfish, candy, and paint!!

Diggin in.

Playing with his dumptruck.

Love that wrapping! It's all about presentation...right, Heather??

TheBIG smile says it all!

"IT'S PRINCESS CANDY!!!!!"

No candy for Cash...GOLDFISH! It was his fav gift ;)

The aftermath :) Reading his owl book (Heather LOVES owls & Cash loves books...so it's completely fitting).

Painting, what you can't see is the brush lights up as that color when it's waved over each color. Totally cool.

Thank you, Heather & Georgie...ya'll are super sweet!! Every gift was a hit :)
