Day 7

I believe Pluto got touched yesterday...I guess that should have been expected since he was in reach of a 3 year old's hands. He returned with a note from Santa reminding Sidney Kate and Embree Claire not to touch him...thanks for the warning Santa!

Day 6

This little guy...up to no good again!

Sweetness

If this isn't the picture of sweetness I don't know what is. This is Embree Claire our morning after our fun with the Inmans and Mosers, minus Daddy Moser. SKV opened ECVs gift for her and when ECV saw the toy she couldn't get to it fast enough! Bows included too!

Day 5

After a night of fun with the Inmans and Mosers-Pluto was almost too tired to fly back to the North Pole! We are glad he made it there and back safely!

Day 4

Tonight Pluto wanted to really break bad...he tip toed into Sidney Kate's bathroom, grabbed her toilet paper and went crazy!

Pluto day 3

He's a mischevious one! Sidney Kate couldn't believe he did this! She said we needed to clean it up but I reminded her we might accidently touch him. She said "Well, we can just clean up the little mess and get the big mess when he leaves."

Pluto day 2

Sidney Kate's efforts to find him in the morning are simple-look toward an area-claim he's not there-say he's a good hider and move to another room. We have to prompt her to look closer...building skills folks!

Pluto has Arrived!

Santa sent the girls an Elf on the Shelf in the mail. This elf is to report back to Santa nightly with a report of their behavior. SKV named him "Pluto" and agreed not to touch him so he wouldn't lose his magic. If we touch him he won't be able to return from the north pole. It is a pretty intense set of rules for a 3 year old but I think we understand. Last night he managed to get out of the box, go see Santa and come back to out house and hide by morning. Let the fun begin!

Rosy cheeks

This morning Kevin and I ran the Rosy Cheeks 5K. I've learned these races sound like a lot of fun when they are months away. I seem to dread them as they draw near. To make matters worse have, I some head cold/sinus infection mess which really tempted me to not run but we were also running with Josh and Jill. Oh peer pressure! So I strapped on my big girl panties and ran...then walked a bit and ran some more. :)
Now Kevin and I have 2 under our belt...that might be enough. ;)

Mommy-Mommy-Mommy!

Sidney Kate loves her mommy. So much that she says "Mommy" all-of-the-time. The other day I tried to explain to her that she doesn't have to say "Mommy" every time she wants to talk to me. She could simply start talking. This was her response: (in a pouty voice) But Mommy-I have to say Mommy-I have to remember to say Mommy because you're my mommy!" (SKV 1,001-Mommy-0)

So here is a little video to explain how it goes and how I feel. :)

Dentist at 3.5 years

We are at the dentist for SKVs 2nd check up! She is rocking this like no other. She has had X-rays-the small ones and big ones!! We have pictures of her teeth to take home and everything!! She was the bravest of brave!! Now off to built gingerbread houses....shhh-don't tell the dentist!

Joy

Nothing says joy like having everything you ever wanted :) For Embree Claire that would be hands and mouth full ;)
