Where do you store your Little People?

In the kid potty?

What about in the hamper?

Maybe the wash machine?

Hey, at least we have it in the right order.  Potty, hamper, wash...repeat

As long as I stay sitting here, Kenzie can't steal them.

16 months old already!

Crazy how fast time flies, the girls are now 16 months old...and crazy!  Their personalities are definitely coming through and in just 3 short weeks they'll be big sisters.  Sometimes I'm still shocked when I look down and see my massive (just ask my mom :) growing belly.  Even though I'm told that I'm certainly not as big as I was with the girls, I don't feel that way at all.  Just thankful I don't have pictures or measurements to compare.  I'm still going with a boy.
As for the girls, they love cupboards, drawers, the washer and dryer, emptying tubs, playing in the toilet (not that I let them, they just seem to know when the door is left open), 'decluttering' my shower, and climbing on anything and throwing things into the tub.  Kenzie loves lights, standing in her high chair, putting random things in cupboards and drawers, the dog, playing hide and seek and eating off daddy's plate.  Khloe loves to open cupboards and empty them, pull things off the counters b/c she's tall enough, dump out kid snacks for the dog, playing the piano and her blankie.

 Today, is day 1 of switching to afternoon naps.  We used to go down at 10:30, then I had it pushed back to 11:30 and they slept great!  But that also left lunch to be had around 2pm.  So I took them outside to play, we came in, had lunch and then it was down to nap (so far it's been an hour).  Maddie was trying to teach them how it all works :)

Out and about today...

Heading towards the neighbor's house...they have huge nutcrackers and fun looking penguins...

It's ok mom, I'm sure they won't mind...

I think we need one of these at our house mom...

She wasn't very happy that I made her leave the penguin at the neighbors

Yes, that pink little spot is Kenzie, well I was rounding up Khloe and bringing her in,
Kenzie took that opportunity to explore.

Seriously, what's the big deal?  I looked both ways before climbing off the curb.
I can't help it that you can't run right now :)

We gave in and took the plunge!

After fighting Khloe daily...multiple times...on putting something in her hair, we finally caved.

My little Dutch baby!

This is me at 20 months...I can finally claim one of my girls!

 Just a few more to share...these girls LOVE each other.  I am so blessed to watch them grow and explore together, but most of all to teach them to love.  Best friends for life!

Laugh of the day!

I was trying to get out of the house today and had 1 shoe on each child.  I searched and searched for the missing two.  I knew I had seen them in the kitchen yesterday (the girls love to carry shoes around), but who knows where they'd been moved too.  I finally loaded the one-shoed girls into the van, came back in and did a quick 5 minute look under everything search.  No luck.  Since they were going to be in the stroller I figured we didn't need shoes.
I started making dinner around 4:30 this afternoon and went to get my oil.  Low and behold, just look what I found, the missing shoes!

Placed on the shelf just as neatly as can be.  The culprit...

Her new favorite seat...always with a book!

My mom says that you lose 90% of your body heat out your head,
I figure if i wear a hat I can skip the pants.

This is my elephant magnet, I can make the noise and use my arm as my trunk.

I know, you'd never guess she was guilty, just look at those adorable faces.  Her sister on the other hand, I can see her being the prankster...

I have an idea...I'm a genius! 

My mom is always trying to get me to wear ponys, barrettes or head bands, this should take care of everything.
