shaving cream fun

It was a snow day yesterday so we all just stayed in. With the help of snowboarder, the kids amused themselves with shaving cream and a few drops of food coloring.

not wa-wa but water

We were headed to a pumpkin festival earlier today and on our way there we drove past a lake. As I mentioned in my other posts, baby j likes to blurt out things as he sees them and today was no different except that he didn't say "wa-wa" when he saw the lake. He said "water"! Snowboarder and I looked at each other and we were surprised! He has always said "wa-wa" whenever he was referring to water but not today. I asked baby j if he meant to say "wa-wa" but he corrected me and said "water". WOW.

Cider Days

Took little nael to Cider Days over at Bel Mar and we both had a wonderful time. She went on a barrel ride and also got on a donkey for the very first time which she loved! We watched a magic show, saw apples being pressed to make cider and little nael got a chance to go on the bounce house.
Snowboarder stayed home with baby j so little nael and I had a mother-daughter date. I enjoy spending one on one time with my little girl especially since she is growing up way too fast for me!

another cut

Had to give baby j another haircut tonight and he wasn't too thrilled. I strapped him in his high chair and I tried to snip as quickly as I could. He saw his hair clippings falling all over the place which probably made him wonder, what the heck is going on? I tried to distact him with his own comb to play with but after 5 minutes of cutting his hair, baby j started to cry and his cries got louder and louder. I felt so bad for him but I was on a mission...J needed a haircut and I needed to finish what I started. So with his tears and all, I kept snipping away until I thought he looked decent enough then I gave him a bath which helped him forget what I did early on.
