tall order

since i originally started this blog as a way of keeping friends and family in the loop about our family, i figured maybe i should take a break from posts about saving money and actually give you an idea of what's been going on around here...

this morning when i went to get jacob out of his crib, he was standing up holding on to the rails. guess it's time to move the mattress down another notch! it was crazy too see him looking so big and tall in his crib!

other news to note...

*jacob is crawling all over the place (which means andrew is learning how to "share" his toys!)

*andrew is very curious about words/letters and is trying to read :) WOW!!!

*at their most recent doc appt. J weighed 20lbs and A weighed 38lbs

we are definitely ready for spring to roll around so we can spend more time outside! stay tuned for posts about my recent shopping (SAVING!) trips to walgreens and shoppers...

lightening mcCLEAN

convincing a 4 year old to clean up his toys because it is time to go to bed, is never an easy task. so, what's a mom to do when she wants her kid to do something??? no...not bribe (although that works too!) turn it into a game! andrew was busy playing with a flashlight at the time clean up time came around so i made up this game for him...

i pointed the flashlight at a toy and he had to race to put it away in the correct toy bin before i was shining the light on another toy. i really didn't expect this to work, but it did...and andrew actually was having fun while cleaning up his toys. so...we named this game lightening mcCLEAN! what could be better than a game named after his favorite race car?
