kissing with tongue

The other night we were finished reading in bed, and Zoe snuggled in close.. and Finn, always having to out do his sister, climbed up on top of me, and proceeded to kiss me good night, saying, "This is how Daddy kisses Mom"... and he was all tongue.. I had to put my hand in-between... wow.. he is persistent.. and I was laughing so hard.. we all were.. it was just too much.

He pays so much attention to the world around him.. 

reading!

The kids received Magic Tree House books #1-48 for Christmas and they are hooked. We read 1/2 to 1 whole book a night.. we're on #9 I think.  Last night Zoe told me, "Read faster, I have to know what is going to happen".  The other night they had a sleepover with Liz and she refused to sit in with us while we read, she only wanted to play legos. Not Zoe and Finn, they stayed in bed with me, while I read the story, their friend in with the legos.  Now I understand how reading to your kids makes them readers too.. proud mama!

Well last night, after much laughter coming from the bathroom (they were in the tub), I went in to get them out before things got out of hand.  I found a cup near the tub.. usually they are all over, filled with different colored potions... well I just threw it in the tub and told them they couldn't leave water out, or the cats would drink it.. well it turns out this tiny 1 cup measuring cup had pee in it.. yep.. I poored it nearly on them, in the tub.. they took a shower.. wonder if they'll do that again?

Zoe is screaming at the top of her lungs, crying, "I have to go see that squirrel. It is my destiny, it is what I was made for.  We just left the oak trees of campus, where she tried to feed a squirrel.
