My kids got skills.

I must say,

It's true.

Besides runnin amuck at uncharted speeds,

My babes have been showing some great sides of themselves lately.

Lauren got a camera for her birthday and has an ever improving eye for a good shot.

Taken by her:

A lover of all things pink or purple.

Aprons, My little Pony, Babies,

And her little sis.

She is a real spicy gem to have around...

Avid scooter enthusiast,

and ideal roller derby scrapper.

That's my 'baby doll'.

Then there's man cub.

My softy with a phrase for every occasion.

Here's what he's been saying these days:

"Night time is my favorite time of year"

while we were cuddling on the couch he gazes into my eyes with a sigh:

"aaahhhhh, my huge mommy"

This morning during story time he looks at my face with a startled expression:

"Mom! DO you have a pirate tooth???????" (He noticed my silver filling for the first time. )

In his loudest screechiest boy voice

Plus, he is newly an off road two wheeled biking fool:

And Claire.

Specializing in creatively disobeying.

Walks through the house singing out:

"Oooh Mom!!!(long winded) Where are you????

Her brother taught her this:

Pay special attention to her face at the end .

Be sure to scroll down and turn the music off.

What did I tell you?

Pretty good right?
