a bit strange

Here is a little clip of Reagan singing the United States song. She really gets into strange things, I know. I am not sure if that is because she is strange or because she has a strange mother. Who knows. But I'm pretty sure Planets, Dem Bones and the United States are not exactly normal interests for a two year old.




I'm still waiting for the girly stage to hit her. You know, dressing up, playing princesses... I'm actually not sure what normal girls really play. I think I was meant to be a boy or something. She does at least enjoy playing with her little dolls in her dollhouse. But again, not normal. These are what her dolls look like... (Grandma likes to get her "fun" ones).



I love my little girls, even though some days they drive me crazy. (Today was one of them.) 1:00 church is not ideal for my little gals. Oh well. After we came home and they napped, they were much sweeter.



Oh, and for those of you who haven't been to our place in a while, we added a few details to the toy room. I try to make it fun for the girls since we rarely ever leave the house in the winter. I added these Ikea pictures and dollar store alphabet border sometime around Reagan's birthday.


I pulled the slide inside when winter came. It has been a wonderful addition, Reagan helps all of her toys take turns on the slide.



I hung up the planets rings from the Tuckers. Reagan has an obsession with planets, which she has passed on to Kennedy. Those are the first thing Kennedy looks for EVERY time we go in the toy room. I also made curtains for the windows. Apparently having extra long windows makes buying shades super expensive. I opted for the $1.50 fabric at Walmart. I think they match perfectly.


Here's to a much better week. Now that I am armed with new fun games thanks to my Sugar and Spice ladies, and chocolate chip cookies I just took out of the oven. Happy Sabbath!




Oh yeah, and we have decided to finally take our blog private. A few too many weird anonymous comments... Sorry for the inconvenience. If I don't have your email address already, please give it to me so I can send you an invite. Thanks!

i love the video - loved watching her sing her states in person too - but of course the video had the added cuteness of her wiping her nose on her arm and then her pj's - took me back to YOUR childhood :) everything else looks great too
