Crab legs

I was going through some of my teaching boxes and found a bag of brand new ocean puppets to show Sammie. Well, she decided that Cole likes the crab-so that's how it's going to be. She likes to be in charge around here you know.
Cole was playing with his crab today and I think he's going to like seafood from the way he was manhandling the crab legs! (Sorry Susan-I know you don't support eating swimmers!!)

C is for Cole

Samantha and I were playing with her ABC puzzle and along came a thought...and we had some fun! Sammie wanted to teach Cole his letters:)

Goodnight moon

Our evening routine usually goes like this: eat dinner, while mom cleans the kitchen dad and Sam play in the back yard, say goodnight to "Luna" (the moon for you non Spanish speakers), bath, piggy back ride, story and bed.
Well, tonight Peter wasn't home so the routine was slightly altered! After dinner we played outside but Sammie didn't have any pants on so it was "undie night" at the South house! Samantha was taking small pebbles and putting them in Zoey's water and stirring with her little shovel. So nice of her to make Zoey a lovely concoction.
Then a quick bath, a short show and in bed and asleep by 6:55!!! (Oh yeah, I forgot to mention she refused a nap today.)
Goodnight moon, goodnight Sammie.

Out and about

Grandpa got us this awesome double stroller so now we can go out and about!!! We went for a nice walk this morning-it was so nice to be able to leave the house with both kids. Cole even took a little snooze! Samantha loves her new stroller-when it's inside she just sits in it like it is a new chair.
Thanks grandpa!

Me and my twin

So I finally broke down and showed Samantha her Halloween costume. She has known for a while that she's going to be a princess (of course!!)
Once she saw the dress she HAD to try it on, plus I wanted to make sure it fit.
Oh my goodness, the fun that followed! She just stood on front of her mirror and played and played. Jumped, twirled, made faces-it was HILARIOUS!!!! We are definately in the "dress up" phase of our childhood!:)
Thanks for the great costume Nana! We love it. After Halloween-it's going in the dress up chest.
