While Daddy was away the 2 year olds sure did play!

Ryan went to India this week and he comes back today.  I can't begin to tell you how much we missed him!  The kids aren't going to school anymore (I will spare you the dreadful story, but it wasn't a good fit for them), so we are finding many fun things to do to fill our days.  Below are some photos of the things we did while daddy was away.  I asked Ryan to take pictures in India and sent him with my small camera, so hopefully I will have some photos to share with you from his trip when he gets back!  For now, enjoy our week in photos!

While daddy was away we...

 

took pretty pictures outside

learned how to take our tricycles over a bump

got frustrated because we couldn't get the tricycle back over the bump to ride back down it.  we did this again and again and again!

posed on our bikes

looked pretty for momma

decided we had enough of the camera for the day

watched so much "Caillou" that momma knows all of the words and Linc and Lili can sing the theme song

took our clothes off and ran around the house

ate with no regrets

took one look at brother and decide not to be so messy

had a photo shoot with JoJo



went to a wonderful play date at Toni and Enzo's house

wrestled on the couch

posed for photo while resting from wrestling on the couch

rode up and down our street on our lambie and cow

posed for momma on the cow

had the best time and burned off some energy on lambie

saw a beautiful cat that we decided to chase and then look for and ask "where cat go" a million times

found a cigarette butt and decided that to give it to mommy.  we are here to clean the streets!

ran around looking for the cat some more

played with the stickers that Aunt Amanda and Uncle Brandon sent us for our birthday. 

put the stickers all over the living room after we got bored with the boxes

realized the stickers were disappearing and then found out where they were going

took photos of the culprits.  i guess we will see if the 20+ stickers they ate makes them sick.

a few more events from the Friday pertaining to our oldest child:

swallowed a coin... or so we thought.  he found a coin, ran off with it, i ran after him, and then told him to spit it out.  he started gagging.  i couldn't find the coin anywhere, including his mouth.  i called the doctor and was told to check his diaper the next few days for the coin and if i didn't find it to call back.  after sifting through two #2 diapers with no luck and lots of worrying, we were back in the living room and all of a sudden i found the coin on the floor next to the original crime scene.  so the worrying and diaper sifting was all for not.  Linc is a trickster, i tell you!

fell down a flight of stairs

fell off of a table (mommy wasn't looking, obviously, because he is not allowed to get on a table and he seems to be following this rule oh so well)

even with all of this, we avoided a trip to the doctor/hospital

please, daddy, come home!  we need you!
