The Laundry Basket..

Anything in the house that is not a toy seems to be so much fun to these two.... the laundry basket has proved itself time and time again....

laundry basket photoshoot ruthie

Ruthie took an early nap yesterday and we decided to do a laundry basket photoshoot. i guess when things like laundry baskets and boxes are sitting around, what is there to do if you fit in them besides sit in them. As you can see from the first set of pictures... elly m. thought it was a great idea too... but with the cat involved... these poor poor cats... they sure do get a lot of unwanted attention sometimes.

Sisterhood...

Having your children so close together can seem sort of crazy to some... but honestly..it really seems like the way to go for me. They are at a stage already at a little over one and a little over 2 and enjoy each other's company (most of the time). They look forward to each other's presence and notice when the other is not around. it is so precious lately how they are enjoying spending time together... just sitting and talking over things.. mostly the cats, but other things come up too... like shared friends and cousins...getting into makeup that shouldn't be gotten into, destroying things that really shouldn't be destroyed. maybe winter won't be so bad this year, maybe these two will find fascinating things to do... we have been playing hide and seek a lot... mostly in the same two places, but we are having fun none the less.

One thing i don't like about all of their pictures together is that they both decided the in thing to do when getting a picture taken is to say "Cheese" therefore the silly expressions often on their faces... kind of bummed about that one...but oh well... at least we get to see their faces.

Ruthie cute!

I can't help lately, but have more pictures of ruthie than elly m. Ruthie is a little cheeseball and elly m. ignores the camera like it's nobody's business.... ruthie wanted to sit on the potty tonight and i thought it was just too cute to not post.. i mean look at that beautiful body.

Hanging out at home...

here we are hanging out on the couch hoping for some Christmas movie on channel 3 and then nope.. no Christmas show yet. We also got some hand me down clothes from a friend and these really cute hats... we had so much fun playing in the hats.
