the never ending cold!

okay so we have been through about ten different rounds of some sort of cold
i think we are on round eleven right now
but than again it could be silas has a runny nose due to ALL the little teeth
they are nice little chompers and he does like to test them out on crackers
so what has been going on....
not much trying to survive winter in cleveland
which means
hot chocolate
snow angels
shoveling
ripping out the ceiling in the kitchen
and the library
i have no idea what we would do without the BEST library system in the world
i mean ohio knows libraries and ohio knows librarians
sadie likes to sit with me and order books and videos from the library on the computer
i have to say i am proud of the fact that sadie 31 months old understands the concept of a library and asks to go to the library to get certain books, dvds, or cds!
silas loves to be read to and he loves to dance
start singing and he starts dancing ...... this kid has got rhythm
silas goes to school three days out of a week and loves it
he goes to "fish school" which is about a mile from sadie's "food school"
both have made lots of friends
sadie has a boyfriend named fasika and she has informed us many times that she is in love with fasika
she has also been seen in school slow dancing with him....
anyway i better run
school has started up again so i am back to reading very long boring articles about nothing but a few people would ever be interested in

TEETH!!!!!

yes baby silas has teeth
and not just one but lots and lots of little teeth
what does this mean really?????
it means we are not getting any sleep
silas is tossing and turning as one tooth erupts after the other
it also means he is trying to crunch on things so...watch out grocery bill
he is getting ready to eat eat eat!
happy belated b-day to aaron!
we had a great day
we shoveled and napped and really to us that is a complete day
sadie and i went shopping for a dora b-day cake
sadie wanted a diego for herself and a dora one for daddy but.....they are a special order item so daddy got a very berry pie with alphabet candles!
not much else is going on
silas is still trying to climb the stairs which is not keeping to his new years resolution
sadie sings everything - she knows all the mother goose songs and sings them all day and all night
her other favorite thing to do is stick bandaids on everything including meow meow and babe
sadie has started a record collection
sadie and aaron go to the record store and buy some of our favorites growing up the orginal sesame street and disney soundtracks...
yes sadie knows more about vinyl than cds!
enjoy the days stay warm drink hot chocolate and relax......this is our saying for 2010
until later enjoy the pictures

happy new year!!!!

okay ....i have nooooo idea where the camera is so i will mentally draw you a picture
sadie:
cute with a big smile
silas:
giving some sort of stink eye because he knows you are all crazy
aaron:
tired but happy
becky:
somewhere behind the camera
anyway....
happy new year!
this year we promise the following
sadie: to listen to everything mommy and daddy say and do exactly as they ask especially when it comes to safety issues like plugging things in and trying to cook on the real stove
silas: promises he will stop climbing the stairs and will only give the stink eye when it is really deserved, oh and he says he will try to sleep in past 5:00 in the morning for mommy
becky: promises she will try to be a little less excited about the fact that she is almost done with school
aaron: promises he will stop swearing at the house (right honey?)
so with that i leave you with this
sadie and silas LOVE this book
aunt heidi gave this to sadie when she was 1 year old and now we read it at least 10v times a day if not more
we sing the song morning noon and night
so enjoy
