Oma's in town!

Oma (Dutch for Grandma) came all the way from Canada to visit us!
We have been having gorgeous weather and some good times.
The kids are well again and much happier. So is Mom.
Holden and Oma
I bought the kids a little playhouse for the backyard and they've been having a blast!
sittin in the window
Here I am!

I know you can't hardly see him he is so camoflauged, but that's Holden on the couch. My big 8 month old boy! He loves to talk and play. He can feed himself finger foods and loves to eat. And he is trying trying to get his butt off the floor so he can crawl.
I'm so camoflauged

And today Sophie was "organizing" all of Oma's toiletries. Oma/Trudy and I were busy talking and looking at clothes. Meanwhile Sophie was very busy too. Lipsticks, lotions, earplugs, tissues, makeups, pantyliners, q-tips, bandaids, etc, etc. Her day in Heaven... dumped, organized, opened, sorted, shoved in drawers, squeezed, put in purses, taken back out, fingered, stuck in ears, squirted, hidden again...
...and then we turned around to see the masterpiece she created.
Sophie's artwork
Brilliant.

ROTFL... Oh goodness. Glad you saw them BEFORE anyone came to the front door to 'visit' (Like your local Pastor, husbands best friend, etc.). LOL.

Katy (at Poop, Paxil...) was right! There ARE a million uses for maxi pads. Sophie, you smart, smart girl.

Wait...Holden's on the couch? Where? I simply can't see him!!!

My two sons do that daily I swear. The 10 month
olds new favorite teether is a OB tampon.
