It's been MONTHS!!

I am ashamed to say that I've become that person...the one who slacks on updating the blog. It definitely isn't because we've had a shortage of material lately....no, these wild & crazy kids keep us on our toes in every imaginable way. I think it's because things happen so quickly and change so fast that I feel like by the time I write about a stage, it's already gone and we are onto the next one!

So, long overdue...here's a Caroline and Jack update.

CAROLINE:

  • Age: as she says, "I two half!" ... she will be 3 in April, but she's definitely in the midst of the Terrible Twos.
  • Likes: her play stroller (but not for babies, for random junk she likes to push around,) goldfish crackers, string cheese, carrying framed pictures around, making huge HUGE messes and getting into literally everything, climbing and jumping, playing in the dirt and mud (but thankfully, not eating it - often), BINKIES, "taggies" (her little muslin and satin cloths), sleeping late, staying up late, chocolate milk, mac n' cheese.
  • Dislikes: listening to Mommy & Daddy, being bossed around by Jack, hummingbirds, dogs, butterflies, regular birds, owls...basically any animal that makes any sound of any kind.

JACK:
  • Age: 5 going on 15.
  • Likes: friends at school, numbers, math, Minecraft, videos on YouTube, sharks, dinosaurs, the solar system and stars, bugging the crap out of his little sister, shrimp, hot dogs, negotiating, arguing, riding his bike, going to the movie theatre.
  • Dislikes: being told what to do, going to bed, milk, getting to school too late to play on the playground, "baby" movies or toys.

Together, sometimes, they drive me CRAZY. They like to instigate each other and touch, tease, tickle, slap, and wrestle...especially in the backseat of the car. DRIVES ME NUTS!! I guess I should be grateful that they are such good friends, and have fun together most of the time. I just wish that "fun time" together didn't involve screaming, yelling, super loud laughing, and acting obnoxious!

Let's take a look at their particular brand of crazy, shall we?

















































My March resolution (ha!) is to be better about updating the blog!! Stay tuned!!
