Harris Out

I have given up trying to keep up with this blog! Two kids, one husband, house full of chores, taxiing the kids to various activities...all leaves me with little time to upload pics and stories to this blog. So, we're shutting down. But fret not! You can find us on Facebook. And, if you're not on Facebook, then get with the times and sign up. :)

Uh-oh....

Looks like any other morning. As usual, she threw her stuffed animals and woobie out of her crib, no surprise there. She looks innocent enough...



Upon closer examination...


Yes, that would be a naked Dylan! She managed to unsnap, then unzip her footed PJs AND take off her diaper! I'm just thankful there was only pee in that diaper-- ugh, can you imagine?!


{sigh} Why do I just KNOW that this is the only beginning for our little trouble maker?!

Princesses, princesses, everywhere!

It was only a matter of time before Dylan wanted to get in on the dress-up action. Now we've got two princesses running around the house!

"Dylan, give me the look"

and this is what she does:

The Greatest Show on Earth

We went to the circus last Saturday. We got there early and got to walk around on the floor of the arena and watch some acts up close (although neither was found of nor willing to pose with a clown!). The show was long (over 2 hours!) but entertaining- the girls had a blast!





Cotton candy!




Olivia in her Jackie O-ish glasses proudly modeling her circus booty- a crazy hat and a princess spinny thing :)

Olivia's Princess Party

To celebrate Olivia's birthday, we had a princess party for 15 of her prince and princess friends. The kids decorated princess hats, prince crowns, magic wands and swords. And, of course, lots of castle cake and princess cupcake eating was had by all!





Blowing out her candles...


(most of the) Princes and Princesses


Dylan really liked the cake!

Happy Birthday, Olivia!

Holy moly, Olivia turned 4 today! She celebrated with friends at preschool (with donut holes per her request), watched The Little Mermaid, had a nice dinner out with Mommy, Daddy & Dylan, had a cupcake for dessert and opened presents. She had a great day and can't wait for her princess party on Saturday!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Winter Storm 2009

It snows in the 'Nati, but not normally like this...

It started snowing Tuesday, sleet all night long, then more snow this morning. All said, we got about a foot of snow!


The view from out our front door


A pine of ours that didn't fair all the snow and ice very well


Olivia and Kyle took full advantage of "Family Fun Day" (officially declared this by the mayor!)

Indoor fun on a snowy day

What to do when it's snowing outside? Everyone in the crib and dance!

House full of toys....

and the girls want to play in (literally) my tupperwear cabinet...







and in the shoe and hat bins. Go figure!
