"Grandma, my shoes are tired!"

Abe: We go on a walk just about every day, so we like it and we're good at it. Plus we know our 'hood and all the secret spots better than anyone.

Grandma takes us on the longest walks of all ...to fun places like the community corner that has an accordion. And she never takes a "Plan B" rescue device like Dad does ...the stroller or a backpack so we can hitch a ride when we're tired. Not Grandma, she makes us walk it all.

Sometimes she just goes too far, like the other day. So this time I just put my foot down, stopped the party and proclaimed: "Grandma, my shoes are tired!"

How come she laughed so hard?

Do bad things always come in 3s?

Koh: Daddy wasn't real happy today. We learned that when he's busy with home fixit contractors that we can do our own home fixits, too. We get away with lots if we stay in other rooms and make "just playing with the trains" noises.

To get ready, we found the bottle of kids Motrin on the counter and drank it all the way dry. That made Dad call Mom. We didn't feel sick all day. Dad wasn't happy.

Then we found the kids play shaving cream and emptied that all the way dry. Wow what fun covering every surface in two rooms with bright green easy to spread fluff. We painted ourselves first, then the walls, the bedspread, the oriental rug, the doors, the computer, the wall art, the desks, the lamp ...we just covered every surface we could reach. Dad wasn't happy.

For lunch we had our favorite: grilled cheese. Daddy cut fresh bread and cut off part of his finger, too. It was bleeding lots and we felt bad. Dad wasn't happy.

Whoopie, and the day is only half over!

My first buzz cut

Abe: Daddy did his first haircut on me today. I like it but Mommy doesn't.

How about you ...do you like it?

MY toilet

Koh: We spend a lot of time around toilets these days. Boy was I excited today when I spotted my name printed on this one in our home - WOW, it's my very own toilet! LOOK MOM!

I'll definitely use this thing more now.

I'm 3 today, but what I want to be is....

Koh: Daddy asked us today on our 3rd birthday what we want to be when we grow up:

We had a nice day doing stuff we really like, like the playground and Costco for lunch. Then Grandma came over and we decorated the cake then ate it. Sally and Uncle Jeff came over too and we opened birthday cards and danced naked. Click here for pics and flicks of our day.

Here's our music video.

Christmas 2009: Party at Greg + Gayle's

They invite us every 2 years, so off we went for a week in Baltimore with Dad's side of the family. We stayed for 6 days with Uncle Greg and Aunt Gayle and got to sleep in one room together, which we like. Even Jillian slept with us sometimes. That Jillian is fun - can she come visit us?

Here are pics + movies of stuff we did last week.

Thanks Greg and Gayle! We can't wait to come over again.
