Rocking Horse Video

I know. Way cuter than just a picture, right?

A Rocking Horse Riddle

What's cuter than a picture of a baby on a rocking horse?

Just wait until I post the VIDEO!!

** A big thank you to my mother-in-law who originally owned this horse when she was a toddler and gave it to Norah when she was about the age Penny is now. They LOVE it! And contrary to all the safety experts' opinions, no one has been harmed using this toy. It's called "supervision" people. **

Holiday Colors

So what if it's 13 days past Saint Patrick's Day. I just couldn't resist putting up this picture! The only green I could find that fit her was a sweater that my grandmother knitted for me when I was born.

She may not be very Irish, but she looks the part! 

Looks like she's a fighter too... Come at me, I dare ya!

Mall Toys

Until we went on vacation early this year, Norah wasn't aware that mall toys actually moved. Fortunately, she still thinks its fun to play on them when they're not moving. It also helps to have a little sister who's big enough to play with!
Our mall has a constantly rotating stock of "toys" I don't know who owns the company that supplies them, but based on the number of times they change them out or redecorate them, this suckers must be a huge money maker! In these photos, they're playing in a speed boat, which was perfect because it has a bench seat (not like the quad in the background) but no top (not like the car in the background). It was a wide open view, so I could get some great pictures... except then I'd have to have kids who cooperate with my picture taking.

Most of the pictures I got looked like this. Great hair shots...

Here, Norah is showing Penny where the quarters would go
if I was nice enough to actually put quarters in it.

Finally! Both girls looking at me at the same time!
This one may end up on the Christmas card. I take what I can get.

First Pigtails

Or antlers.

We do live in elk country, after all.

Little Sister's Room

Isn't a bad place to play either!

When you let Big Sister in you room,
she shares her necklaces with you!

And with all the wide open floor space,
it's the perfect place to do the Running Man
(or is that the Cabbage Patch?)

Big Sister's Bed

Is the best place to play! On this particular day, I managed to get three whole pictures before Penny threw herself sideways, missed the pillows slightly, and conked her head on the side rail. It only took a second before she was begging to get down for more playtime!
