not a lot going on

*****okay that is a big lie*******
there is a lot going on and i am sorry to say i have no cutie pie pictures because.......
our house was broken into yes while we were sleeping
they stole my purse with the keys and the camera and took the car.....
with out getting into a super long story
we got the keys back and the car but no camera so our week of cutie pictures is now floating around somewhere
everyone is okay and we are thankful for that
so now we are looking for a small but yippy dog to be our alarm system
if anyone knows of a good ankle biter let us know
sadie took her first trip in an ambulance and loved it even though she had a big bump on her head
she is doing well though and telling everyone all about her trip to the hospital in the truck with lights.....
so this was the post prior to all of this.......
enjoy

there actually is not much going on in the land of sweaty happy babies
we lost water for two days the two hottest days in cleveland
which of course is always interesting when you have two kids
so instead of sitting at home waiting for the plumber we hoped into the car and headed to the beach
why not right?
classes are over at the moment
got an A in both so i have a small break (2 weeks) before i start back up
not looking forward to that but a girl has to do what a girl has to do
sadie calls school "food school" and all she talks about is what she ate
so i guess that is good sign
she has also started to read which is very odd
she reads mostly through association but then sometimes it is because she is actually reading
things we have never seen before
she spells out the letters then sounds them out and viola! she reads them
now aaron and i can not get away with anything
cookies can no longer be called mommy and daddy medicine......
chocolate cake can no longer be called mud pies
oh gig is up
baby silas is still trying to crawl
he is eating A LOT and all the time
he starts to yell at you if you do not have the spoon in the air ready to shovel more food into his mouth
we have a funny little family
which is good keeps us laughing all the time
meow meow is getting big and has been trying to live in the fridge the last few days as it is the coolest room in the house
see none stop adventure
well until next week

amazing.......


baby silas is approaching 6 months......sadie 26 months
our house is full of adventures and scrapped knees
so what are some of the tales from the hood:
silas is getting up on his knees and actually hopping across the floor
very funny to watch i am not sure if i would call it crawling but he is getting from point a to point b
watch out sadie your brother is coming for ya
he has also started eating
which i have to say has been interesting
lets think sumo wrestler.....
anyways he grabs the spoon and actually feeds himself
he dips the spoon into his rice cereal and shovels it into his mouth...there is no questioning flavor or action he knows what he wants and he is moving forward
corporate america watch out
sadie is getting sneaky she is hiding food in various areas of the house and revisiting them maybe months later
the good thing is the food she is hiding is not egg
she now can hold a pretty interesting conversation on the phone if you are willing to hear about her menu of food items
currently she likes everything that starts with B
beets, beans, berries, and bread
so for now i think that is all......
saturday is my last day of class for two weeks then i am back it once again
UGH
i will survive
enjoy the pictures and the movie

welcome humidity

even though there are hair gels, creams, etc i still look like a q-tip in the summer humidity
generally speaking though i am getting use to the fact that the only way i can contain my hair is by pulling it up and back......
looks like dear little sadie may have inherited my hair....still waiting on silas
what's the scoop now that we got new stairs?
nothing much to be honest
we are preparing for a garage sale, awaiting mema's arrival and trying to stay awake at work
sadie loves going to "school" it was a slight adjustment but now she gets totally engrossed in the toys and does not even see daddy aaron slip away
silas is a mover and shaker
he loves bath time he kicks and squirms so much he is hard to hold onto
(think greased piggy)
he took a bath last night with sadie both thought this was the greatest thing in the world
sadie washed silas's hair and toes
later silas told aaron all about it and then mid sentence feel asleep
silas is ready to eat......
like his sister he is imitating eating and stares at everything we consume
so we got him in the high chair and handed him a spoon
a few more weeks.....
aside from that life is a just a puddle jump of to do lists
i only have three more weeks of school and then 2 weeks off and back at it
well that is all for now enjoy the pictures
