Look! I made a hat!



Pics of it on my head will be forthcoming, I'm sure.

I had this post all written about closing doors and opening doors and I decided not to post it because, well, it was a little cliched and annoying. So let's just move on and I'll tell you all the sweet and funny things my kids did this week.

I was talking to Becky about her friends at school. She now has "upstairs" friends (from her old class) and "downstairs" friends (her new class). We were talking about how some of her upstairs friends would be coming to join her downstairs soon, and I mentioned a couple of the little girls I know are around 3. Then she mentioned a name, and I said, "Oh, is she almost 3?" to which Becky replied, "No, mommy -- she almost 3:30!"



She also got out of bed Thursday and gave me a big hug and said, "It's Mommy-Becky day!" And indeed it was. After we dropped Zacky off at school we went and had a donut, and she used the potty at Starbucks. Then we went to see the specialnewlionmovie (for those of you who don't speak Becky, that would be Madagascar 2), which she had gone to see Saturday with Kit and didn't make it quite all the way through. Thursday we made it all the way to the end, and afterward she used the potty at the mall (the theater's in a mall). We came home and had a late lunch, did some coloring, and just generally had a great time. She also started nagging me around 2:30 to go pick up her "brudder." She must really like the little bugger.

Who is also just freakin' adorable.



He's not really doing anything new these days, but he's very smiley and sweet. Oh, here's a cute Zacky story. The other day I go in to change his diaper and get him dressed, and as soon as I get the new diaper on him, he grabs my hands and pulls them apart. I take my hands back and try to start getting him dressed, but he does it again. We went through this three or four times before I realized that he wanted me to do raspberries on his belly...I always hold his hands away from my glasses when I do it, and that's what he was doing with my hands. So I did raspberries and he giggled that awesome baby belly laugh. My kids laughing is definitely my favorite sound in the world.
