Noticing a theme here? We are really learning the landscape of
Twoville here. If you wanna make it through this teary and trembling land, there are some things you must know:
- Rain boots go with ANYTHING and glitter of any kind is considered a neutral color.
- It's customary to dress yourself at least twice in the morning. The first time the clothes have to be inside out, backwards or ...something else.
- Two bite maximum at at least one meal a day.
- Absolutely no substitutions to the bedtime routine.
-It's all about the sound effects.
-When entering the bathroom with someone 4 ft tall or below, allow them to turn on the light. If you don't, the light must be turned off while everyone exits the bathroom. Re-entry is allowed only after the appropriate person has switched on the light. ( The same procedure should be followed with flushing the toilet and slamming down the lid.)
- A request for help is almost always followed by the " I can do it by myself !" Declaration. Don't be alarmed.
-Hopping is a valid mode of transportation.
-Condiments. Enough said.
-In
Twoville, the hard way IS the only way. It's not acceptable to simply go from point A to point B. For instance, when making a torn paper pumpkin, why use your hands to tear the paper when you can use, lets say, your mouth?
Just a few things to make your trip here a little easier to navigate. I'll add more rules as they are made up.
P.S. I'm told that the terrain in Threetown is very similar to that of Twoville only with elevated attitude.
Mike gets the gold star of the day. He helped me turn my orange nails into jack-o-lanterns!
It's been so long since I posted video of Mack and I promise, I am working on posting more. For now, here's a quick video just for you, Grams:
Erin tried her hand at cake decorating and did a fantastic job! This doesn't like a first timers cake. It must have tasted just as good because Mack asked for more dino cake all day long:
Olivia's princess cake made by Will's mom, Diane:
Olivia loved the dress we got her. We thought it was perfect for our favorite little blue eyed princess:
Mack watching Livy open her presents. I think she was doing the mental math countdown of days until her birthday:
In Griffin's world, every day is a party so this day was really no different apart from that yummy cake! As a special ( and early) gift to his parents and sister, Griffin learned to walk two weeks before his birthday.
Check out how long it is in the back. It's even longer when wet:
After the pumpkin was picked and cider and donuts were had, it was time to play!
Check out this " crib" full of corn!
Mike asked Mackenzie what kind of face she'd like on her pumpkin. She said mad and then covered it with every color paint available which resulted in a Hulk-ish type pumpkin. Next, was some sensory play with the "guts" of the pumpkins. Maybe we have a surgeon in the making?
Check out "tiny" Mack from last year ( 19.5 months)
Mack learned to trace her own hand so we made this card for Grammy. Can you see that she's learned to write "MACKEN" ? ( you have to look at it through the eyes of a 2 year old or the parent of a two year old. The "A" is overlapping the "M" and the "C" is backwards)
