Abe's first swim strokes

Abe: I've been working real hard on learning to swim by taking lessons and listening to our teacher.   Look what I can do!

Mom . . . What happens after life?

Koh: Where do the kitties go when they die?   This one stumped both mom and dad at the dinner table last night.   If you don't believe me, watch this clip direct from our table cam . . .

Easter

Koh - I really like candy and those chocolate eggs and maltball eggs and bunnies and even hard boiled eggs we colored.  Mom and Grandma have to hide them from me.

Cartwheeling

Abe: I love to tumble . . . with Dad or Koh or just by myself.   When I get bigger I don't know if I'll be a cheerleader or a football star or a dancer.  What do you think?

 

Sledding day

Our pals Ronan and Torin went sledding and igloo hunting with us one Sunday.  Check us out on their fun sliding tube!

Slug Bug

Koh:  I'm only 4 but I already know what car I want to drive when I get bigger.  I told Mommy I want a rainbow-colored Volkswagen bug with hitch so i can pull my trailer. 

Plus then I get to do slug-bug to Abe all the time.

Swim Lessons

Abe:  Koh and me just finished swim lessons and I learned to float on my back.  Check out my technique:

The chickens are baaaaaaaaaack!

First time since winter started that we got 4 eggs from our 4 pet chickens in a day!

Look at this!

My trick tongue

Koh: All my fans know I have a trick tongue.  If you've read my tongue trick posts you know I can make it dance and curl and 'cause it's big I can catch more snow than Abe.   Today after breakfast the whole family tried this one:  who can touch their nose with their tongue? 

Guess who was the only one who could do this tongue trick?

See . . . we ARE angels!

Mom and Dad say we aren't always angels.   What does that mean, anyway?   We went outside and showed 'em today after the beautiful snowfall.  SEE MOM!   WE ARE ANGELS!

Tricycle antics . . watch out, here I come!

Abe: Our favorite bike riding is steep and fast using our driveway as the launching ramp.  Check me out:

Dad, it's Quinoa not Couscous

Koh: Dad served us leftovers tonight while Mom was out, and sometimes I think he doesn't even know what he's putting on the table.   For example tonight he put out re-warmed quinoa (keen'wah) and asked me if I liked this couscous.   I told him quickly "Dad, it's quinoa, not couscous."   I mean come ooooooooon Dad, EVERYONE knows the difference between quinoa and couscous.   (Dad's editorial: I was at least 40 before I learned of either of these grains, and now I have a 4-yr old smart-ass correcting me?)

Twins, but not alike

Abe: Koh is a real picky eater and I'm not.  Take kiwis, for example.  He won't eat 'em unless they're peeled and sliced.   For me, I LOVE kiwis any way I can get 'em.

Just hand it to me . . . I eat it whole, just like an apple!   That fuzzy skin feels nice in my mouth!   Dad taught me that trick.

Indoor overnight camping

Koh: We miss camping so I've been sleeping on the floor on occasion lately.   I just quietly crawl out after mom and dad leave.   Abe liked the idea, so last night he did the same thing and even built a tent to protect us.    We slept like this all night!

Look here to see what daddy saw when he came to visit before he went to bed...

Rainy days mean MUDDY FUN

Abe: We like mud and sticks and dirty fingers and everything else, too.  Daddy took us for a Sunday stroll today but we stopped and built this mud pond instead, then played in the sewer drains 'cause there was a waterfall in every one.   Dad said we had to move when cars came so they wouldn't run us over.
