Celebrities in the Family

In the mornings, Will and Anna usually watch The Sunny Side-Up Show on Sprout (PBS Kids, 24-hour preschool channel). The three-hour program is live and asks kids to send in pictures, drawings, letters, etc. that the host could share inbetween the scheduled shows it airs (e.g., Thomas the Tank Engine, Play With Me Sesame, etc.). The theme this week is "Dinosaurs." This morning, the twins and I took this picture and sent it in to the show.

We were incredibly surprised when, about 10 minutes later, we saw this:

(Sorry about the bad quality. Thank goodness for DVR!) How awesome is that! The twins were so excited to see their picture on TV. I didn't really expect their picture to make it on air, but it did. The kids can sign autographs after naptime.

While Mom's Away. . .

. . . the twins will play.

Will and Anna sometimes find the most interesting things to do while I'm in the bathroom.

Sometimes it makes me afraid to use the bathroom again.

Sometimes it makes me sad that I missed their sweetness.

Child Labor

William and Anna like to help around the house. I probably don't take advantage of this as much as I should because they still enjoy doing it.

The other night, Anna was in the game room playing with Larkin. Will was otherwise engaged.

In my defense, I didn't ask him to help. He asked me if he could help. I simply obliged him.

I think he's ready to learn how to mow the lawn and change lightbulbs.
