I made the mistake of letting Pepper push her teddy bears around in the umbrella stroller. Now whenever I need her to be in the stroller she says no, she wants to push. So today Pepper pushed the double jogger with Tabor in one seat and her teddy in the other, on our way to the park.
Why can't our "Sunday Best" last longer then 5 minutes? By the time we get to church somebody has always wiped snot on their shirt (and mine), stomped through a puddle or smeared lipstick all over there face. Today we managed to do all three. So I took this picture as soon as their clothes were on. 
Does this bring back memories to anyone? It does for me. My mom use to put curlers in my hair on Saturday nights (when I let her). And now my mom is curling little girls hair again, this time with Pepper. Too bad Pepper ripped them all out by the time morning came around. But I will admit, they are not very comfortable to sleep on. 
Both of my kids are climbers. Pepper can get to the top shelf in the pantry and find the chocolate covered raisins, that I hide up there. That is 5 shelves high! And Tabor is not far behind. Here he pushed over a little rocking chair and used it to climb onto my grandparents stand where the remote controls are. He can also climb our bar stools to get on the counter. What do I do now that I can't keep things out of reach?
I have a serious obsession with Q-tips. I clean out my ears ATLEAST twice a day. I know, I know it is not good for your ears. But I do it anyway. I can't stop. This morning I was putting my make-up on and and I glance over to see that Pepper had a Q-tip in each ear and a few more in her hands. I hope she didn't damage her ear drum. But can I blame her for using Q-tips?
Shout out to my Aunt Marti. She was at the "Goodwill" and saw one of these hippos which reminded her of me. So she bought it. I already had one, but was happy to take another so both of my kids could push at the same time... instead of their regular screaming and shoving over the single hippo. Yes, both of my children are very good walkers on their own, but for some reason they LOVE to push walkers.
I posted about St Patrick's Day. Shut my computer and left. I am back... I forgot to post that Pepper had a birthday yesterday. She is now officially two.
I am so glad that the Easter Bunny decided to come on Saturday this year. It was the most gorgeous day we have experienced in 2011... a perfect day for outdoor easter egg hunts. On Sunday it was raining.
