Some days we just like to hang around…
Some days we feel under the weather…
Some days Mommy finds us doing things we are NOT supposed to do…
Some days we are artists…
Some days we show more affection than others…
…but everyday is special in its own way.
We colored cards for some family and friends.
We painted hearts with watercolors.
We made pink sugar cookies (Charlie added a little green to his.)
We dressed in red on the 14th and had fun playing with our balloons on a stick Mommy and Daddy gave us.
We each gave Mommy a single red rose (Daddy gave her one too!) 🙂

Yep…our babies are 23 months old. WOW! I love them so much. I’m actually getting kind of sad typing this post. I feel like time is going by too quickly. On Monday I wanted to take some pictures of the kids. You know…just get them to look at the camera, smile, then go about our day. Well that just didn’t happen. Charlie was so much more interested with this little green wooden bead. Seriously. Look. 
And Anna Claire, our outgoing child, wanted to pretend to be bashful. Seriously?
Regardless of their lack of cooperation with me wanting to take pictures, I could not love these two little 23 month olds more! They are wonderful!! 🙂
I walked into the den one night and found our little girl reading her book.
Charlie was more interested in his ball at the time. 
However, once I asked if they wanted me to read to them they both quickly ran to get some books. 
They love to read!
Charlie isn’t the best talker, but he is improving by leaps and bounds daily. I am SO proud. 🙂 We were in the car today and this is what I heard…
AC: “Cha-sie wook! Cha-sie wook! Cha-sie wook!” (translation…”Charlie look!”)
Charlie: “Anna Care…no no!”
So, I immediately turned around because of two reasons…1 – I was shocked he put all those words together and 2 – I wanted to see what she was doing. She was playing with the cords to the DVD player which is a no no. He’s not going to be tempted by his naughty sister. 🙂 ha ha!
Two other funny things that happened today:
~We were making Valentine’s cookies. I told her we had to “shake shake shake” the sprinkles. She said, “shake your booty.” 🙂 Devin and I died laughing. I had to think for a second where she learned that. It quickly popped in my head. Every night when I get them out of the tub I hold them in the air and shake them (not hard…just to get some water off) and say, “shake shake shake, shake shake shake, shake your booty.” Too funny!
~Charlie LOVES Roscoe, one of our cats. Roscoe lets Charlie lay on him, hug him, pet him, etc. Sometimes Charlie gets a little rough and I’m scared he’s going to hurt the cat and the cat will retaliate. Anyways, he was being rough and I told him to stop. His cute but bossy little sister said, “Cha-sie, no no…time out!” And no lie, the child went to time out for a second until I told him he didn’t have to go and I told her she couldn’t put him in time out. Oh my!
Anyways, as you can tell, there’s never a dull moment around here.
A few recent pictures:
