Tickle Tickle

Well, I can't believe how long it's been since I updated this blog. So I will try an update now with as many funny things about the kids as possible. This is a cute video that was taken of kids waiting somewhere in Disney World for probably a bus to show up. Sydney and Mason love tickling each other.....to the point of exhaustion sometimes.

Yeehaw!!!!!!!!!

Mason and Sydney really enjoyed and got into the Halloween day this year. They went as Woody and Jessie from the movie Toy Story 2. They wore their costumes almost the entire weekend of Halloween and still carry around their cowboy hats. Sydney was up playing in her crib the other night for over an hour.....I looked on the video monitor and she was standing in her bed with her cowgirl hat shouting, "Yeehaw! Yeehaw!"

Tinkerbell, Tinkerbell.....

Sydney now has a few pairs of pjs and plus the little fairy's picture is everywhere you look of Tinkerbell. Well, Sydney and Mason have made a new song for all of our Christmas carols to sing this holiday. "Tinkerbell, tinkerbell, tinker all the way!" Too cute not to share! What will these kids come up with next?

I smell stuffing....

Well, we just got back from a great trip to Disney World. The kids had a blast and were real troopers going from line to line at the parks. Mason was able to ride majority of the rides at the Disney World excluding the roller coasters, of course. He loved it! Sydney's favorite was It's a Small World. She and Mason still sing the song everyday.

One of the funniest moments of the trip though had to be our second day we visited the Magic Kingdom and we were riding It's a Small World. Mason pipes up and exclaims, "I smell stuffing (Mason's word for something) !" (I suddenly smell what smells like passed gas.) He then starts breathing in over and over again trying to figure out what that smell is. Then he looks at us and says, "What's that smell?" Matt and I are still laughing about this today. Another funny moment is when Mason was reprimanded for pushing Sydney. A few minutes later, he goes in and talks to Tim about it.

Mason - "Somebody pushed Sydney." Tim - "Really? Who?" Mason - "me." Tim - "oh well you shouldn't push people but sometimes we push people and it's an accident." Mason - "probably not."

The kids were mesmerized by Mickey and Minnie live and in the flesh. They still talk about it everyday. Mason will say Mickey loves him because he gave him a kiss and a hug. So sweet!

Night-Night!

I bought this cheap toy bin to put some of the miscellaneous toys that make it downstairs from their toy room. Well, Sydney has found a new use for it....her nest. I was on the computer and this is what I hear "night, night" as she curls up in the toy bin sucking her thumb. Hilarious!

Swim School

So the kids are taking swim lessons and so far it's a complete disaster. We are going to try just concentrating on Mason starting tomorrow for the lesson. They each have their meltdowns if they don't like something the teacher is making them do and each one feeds off of the other. Anyway, here's the kids with their new Swim Safari School sun visors on.

Ta Da!

Sydney's speech has really taken off this last week. Her funniest word right now has to be when she does something special and shouts out "Tada!" We all chime in and repeat it with her. She names body parts, waves and says hi and bye-bye, she answers yes/no questions with either a "no" or an "okay", she says hugs and kisses, a shouting of "mine" when Mason takes a toy, "mommy" and "daddy" vs. mama or dada, and an occasional "whoa" when she almost falls. It's amazing! This is all happening a lot sooner than we would have thought. Typical girl though.
