Pa Dough

So i bought Vincent Play dough a little before his second birthday and frankly he didnt' want anything to do with it, that was said in so many words. However, now that's he's turned the ripe ol age of 2 1/2, he's now figured he's old enough. It's been awesome. So yesturday after getting turned down to swim at H2Oasis, either because they said they were doing their yearly maitainence or because they figured I would've frightened all this kids in my swim suit, either way they told us we couldn't swim so vincent was heartbroken! I took him to the library for story time only to get there to hear the last 2 pages! what a day. Then i found out the library video (the office, brittish version) was missing a disc. The worst part is: i never opened it! i never got a chance to watch it (like most other things)! so that put mom in a bad mood. However, when we got home, out of the blue he went to the cabinet and asked for the play dough and has been playing ever since!
I showed him how to use the cookie cutters and decorate his "little mans". He liked giving them eyes, diapers, and poop. I guess that's all he's known?

Heres the finished four, all complete with eyes and dirty diapers
the proud creater and his work, these were the naked versions. Last night he went to bed screaming for his little men, i told them they had to go to bed to and all he would cry, "men bed nope! in my hands!"
And this morning, he rolled out of bed and the first thing he asked for was to play with pa dough. I let him go at it for a minute and had to go get steve's lunch ready (argh, sticken flu season, he's putting in a lot of over time and working his day's off) and this is what i came down to. As you can see, every color is now intertwined with the adjacent color, play dough never stands a chance with two year olds does it.

Vin and mom's jog

Mile 1:  so now i know not to point out the color green, unless i want to see green grass pointed out every 5 feet, along with every green spruce tree and leaf a long the way

good, that's over with (i'm thinking)

Mile 2:  so now i know around not to show vincent worms, or he'll ask where?where?where? where? where? like a broken record

okay, that's hopefully done (again, thats running through the brain)

Mile 2.7:  crap, i showed him sluggs........ where? where? where?

Mile 3:  so now i know that i can't run and keep up with a two 1/2 year olds conversation with out completly just dying. It's not the running its the talking.  who knew?

The Lesson: sorry vin, looks like vera's going to be taking your place

vin's new friend

so vins been playing a lot at our neighbors house, the Jacksons.  His friends name is Jarrett and he is a few months older than vin so it works well.  This was what happened when the women folk left the boys and the dads home alone on a saturday.  They got pretty creative with the slide.  thought it was funny.....


vin on his ride (the trike) and Jarrett on his (the jeep).   so some are born a little higher class i guess:)  and if your wondering i have no idea who the other kid is, perhaps steve had to watch one of his illegitimate kids that saturday

sorry on the last post for adding the same picture twice, i'm not on here long enough to know what i['m doing!  

more photos for grandma

Just thought i'd throw in more photos while i had some "free time", actually i just hear my moms voice in my head telling me MORE PHOTOS!  so here they are mom, love ya

the candy man can

This happened a couple weeks ago:  I walked into my room where vincent had been sitting watching tv when i found this.......apparently somewhere, who knows where ( i know , pretty sick) vincent had discovered some M&Ms and doesn't quite get the concept of how to eat them.  and screw the "melt in your mouth, not in your hand", try melt all over your face if your 2.  I asked if he found some candy and acted like i didn't know what i was talking about.  Hmm.... let me take your picture them and this is the sneaky look i got.  Pretty funny

then it was AHHHH!! don't touch sister!

we're back in action

okay, so i can't believe i'm finally getting time to blog but the good lord has blessed me with a quite house despite the fact i have double the kids: 2 two year olds and 2 babies.  If you saw me yesturday i was about to pull my hair out.  today is pretty good.  anyways, i just wanted to update with some pictures:

I'm so excited that she can actually sit in her exersaucer these days, she's so much happier, and so is mom....
Here is vin's sock puppet he named "hello".  I think it's because when i showed them how it worked i would make it say hello.  So thats about all he says it can say and so there it's name is "hello".  The picture doesn't show it though but this puppets got a rat tail.  pretty awesome.
