Seaweed & Octopus

We had some “fancy kiddie food” over at the Myers house! 

Paul was soo excited and couldn’t wait to try out this recipe!

That’s a hot dog cut to look like a octopus and some Ramen noodles that have green food coloring in them!  LOL!

 

Happy Hannah…who by the way used to “LIVE” on hot dogs.  To the extent that we were worried that’d be ALL she’d ever eat..or perhaps, she’d turn INTO a hot dog!  HA!

Sarah with a VERY LONG noodle! 

And check out those cool red “waters” they are drinking.  I’m loving those cool new fizzy tabs from kool aide!  The girls are loving them TOO!

 

Glad the food coloring didn’t get all over them!

Sarah was very happy with the green noodles!  Sam calls noodles “nerdles”…it’s SOO FUNNY! 

GUM in my hair!

 

Just wondering how many issues with hair we will have in this house?  HA HA!

 

YES, that is GUM in her hair.  I heard her say something about gum earlier in the day while we were driving through the car line to get Hannah…but we all forgot by the time we got home.  UNTIL i saw something BLUE in her hair!

NOT SO HAPPY SAM!

Happy AFTER i cut it out!  Look at that beautiful hair i cut out!

SOO sad…BYE BYE PRETTY HAIR…now there is a big ole’ spot in the middle of her head! 

Maybe we’ll find something new to reward our children for pooping in the toilet!  :<(  But they sure do love that gum!

Congratulations to my big girl!  She received “Star Student of the week”!  Which means…she’s been a great student..and she gets to tell all her friends about her life..her family and show them any pics she feels are important!

Happy 100th Day of school!

For the 100th Day of school for Hannah…we decorated a cardboard 100…with whatever we chose to use.  We chose red/blue butterflies and some cool heart bling..since V-day was coming up!  I think it turned out really well!

 

Hannah was soo proud of it!

She requested to wear her 100th day shirt from St. Rose…so we pulled it out of her closet and she wore it one more time.  AND on top of that…her teachers bday was on the 100th day of school..so all of the children took her flowers.  SOO CUTE!

The works of art…the kidos all did soo well!  TOTALLY CUTE!

Happy Valentines Day!!!

I went to Hannah’s School Party the Thursday before V-day…it was SOO much fun.  Some of the parents didn’t see the point…i love going…i love seeing Hannah with her friends…interacting…telling me all about her class.  She LOVES school, loves her teacher, her friends, it’s all soo great.  Some day’s i’m soo sad that we haven’t sold our other house…but then i see the smile on her face…she LOVES her school…her friends…and everything about her new home.  It might not be the perfect situation right now…but i don’t regret it…i’m soo happy that my girls are happy..the love their new schools..and that is the MOST important thing for me. 

Here’s me and my beautiful big girl at her party. 

 

The cutest little V-day bags ever! 

 

My valentine with her friends.  Hannah, Conner, Nali & Christopher

Fun times between S & S!

I am just dumping pics from my camera…i think Hannah actually did this to them.  They were SOO excited about all this PINK…Gotta love a house full of girls and pink!  HA!  P.S. Sam wears that nasty dirty VERY OLD AND VERY SMALL shirt EVERYDAY!  I’m going to have to save it for her to see when she gets older..it’s been washed too many times and that skirt is a 12-18 month.  LOL!  It’s very funny…she even knows the rules..she puts it on as soon as we are done with our chores and running around for the day..

Ahh…my Sarah.  Look at those eyes and precious smile…i love her NO MATTER how many hours of the day she’s in trouble!  HA HA!

I tell you…having twins has benefits.  These sweeties play together ALL DAY LONG.  I want a built in best friend.  It’s soo unfair.   

These girls party it up like rock stars…Sam convinced Sarah to sit in the baby doll stroller so she could push her around like a baby doll. 

The monogram obsession..

My girlfriend and pledge sister bought a monogramming machine..i’m LOVING all her cool ideas and t-shirts she’s made for the girls and ME!

Since the girls are finally feeling better and i took them BACK to school after being gone for 3 weeks..i thought i’d go up to have lunch with my big girl!  She was SOO excited…she wanted to dress alike!  SO, she pulled out her new t-shirt monogrammed by tiffany!  She also had me wear mine..and of course the girls wore their shirt to school!  Pretty darn cute!

 

Sam had to have a pic taken of her…before they got dressed in their matching shirts!

Sam just loves her big sister!

Hannah wanted to make a funny or should i say GOOFY face.  Can you say DEER in HEAD LIGHT LOOK?!

All my cuties together!

Their teacher has requested over and over to make sure there is something different about one or the other..so they know who’s who.  So i put a different color of pants on Sarah…i changed them before we left b/c Sams black pants were high water…guess that means she’s growing!  YAY!

SUCH a cute pic…i’m soo lucky my girls love each other soo much!  I’m thankful everyday that they are so close in age..even if it was rough for a while..

Sam’s pouty face…LOL!

Sweet face…Sam is a child of many facial expressions..FUNNY!

Then Sarah had to be funny…She put on her hat that i bought in MEXICO YEARS ago-when Hannah was ONE! 

Ready to go to school..with their lunch boxes and all! 

Gotta love that sisterly love!

Giddy Up, Cowgirl!

When we were in Mexico i found these cute little pink cowgirl  hats…the girls HAD to have them!  They didn’t seem to like them at first…now they love them!

Since Go Texan day is coming up..i thought we’d try our cow girl attire on and see how they fit.  CUTE!

I’m not sure if i’ll ever get one good pic of all three..but i sure can try!

 

Sarah liked tightening up her hat

Sam loves to smile…but didn’t like her hat.

Sarah tightened up her hat over and over again!

Sam has one of the sweetest smiles!

Hannah was acting a little goofy!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO SARAH & SAMANTHA!!

Today at 10:30 & 10:31 am – 3 YEARS ago..you were born!  I can’t believe it’s been 3 years.  Time DOES indeed fly by these days!

Sarah, you are my precious little fire cracker.  You might small, but you are mighty!   You are such a joy to our lives.   You have a personality that lights up a room.  You love to hug and kiss everyone..you LOVE ANY ANIMAL…but most importantly you LOVE your dogs.  You love hanging out with your sisters, playing games and watching Scooby Doo!  You LOVE Dora and Diego…and love running around yelling VAMANOS.  

Latest Stats:

 

Samantha, you are my love bug.  Dad says you could be a politician one day.  I’m not 100% sure why!  These days you personality is in full bloom.  You LOVE to talk, you LOVE to tell stories..esp about bears, you love hot roding your bike around the house, you love your Hannah and you love eating. 

Latest stats:

 

We had the girls party at our house Dec 5th, 2009!  The day before..it snowed.  YES, who would ever think it’d snow in TX..and soo early into the winter!  SO, with 25 kids coming over..we had to change from letting the kids play in the backyard..to inside crafts.  We had our wonderful babysitter come over and paint faces, i had a crafts table, and the we also had the play room full of toys.  On top of that..i bought a pinata for the kids to beat on.  The girls had a blast..and most importantly i don’t have to hear them telling me over and over..”your not coming to my party if you don’t…”  LOL! 

The morning of the party we gave them their cool new bikes.  DORA BIKES!

 

Sam on her bike

Please excuse the Halloween PJ’s on Sam…what can i say..they don’t always match and i don’t put up pj’s as soon as that holiday is over!  HA!

Opening presents the morning of the party!

Grandma & Grandpa B bought them a cook new kitchen set!

And a really neat wooden cupcake set!

Diving for candy!

Hannah getting her face painted by Valerie!

I just love this pic..the LOVE sharing a bed.  I did too, when i was younger..too bad my sisters didn’t want to share!  LOL!

Then, on their REAL birthday, we bought them ANOTHER cake. 

Happy Babies-Excuse the non matching shirts AGAIN!  HA HA!  This is my life..you can put on one set of clothing and 5 minutes later they are changing!

Their second birthday cake!

The night of their birthday, we took them to eat at Papasitos…the “tia” place.  They LOVE Tia’s and cheese!

 

Happy Big girl!

Happy Hannah…waiting patiently for the balloon lady!

LOVE these balloons!  Flowers with butterflies!  Sam had to tell the nice lady 20x’s that she wanted ALL BLUE!  NOT because the lady didn’t hear..just because she LOVES blue soo much!

Hannah and her hat!

I want “YOU” to please pass the cheese!  HA HA!

The waiters sang Happy Birthday to them..and then they BOTH received brownie sundaes!  YUMMY!
