just some cute radnom pics

Takin' it easy watching Teletubbies (and I thought I wouldn't let my kids watch tv so much, ha)

Junior helping Tata unpack after a trip.

Tula just loves her strawberries (watch the movie below)

Out in the yard doing a little bit of reading

relaxing

and playing with toes..

a little reading in the car, look at the little foot holding the book up

Dziadek's birthday

A little celebrations for Dziadek Andrzej's birthday

outside

This was a bit earlier in the month - notice the appropriate toys for the boy and the girl - I promise this was just by accident, but as you can tell they are willing to trade off..

on a rainy day.. can't tell you how happy I am that they are starting to play... this was their first time really drawing (I guess the next step is 'really really drawing')

strawberries

It's strawberry season here and Tula loves strawberries, she loves to eat them and to wear them. Or maybe she's just making a slurpy...

Sleepy...

We were coming back from the playground.. I guess it was just all too much for Jack. Tula was of course wide awake.

Tula reading

I am loooving this! I can't wait until I can actually understand her.

laundry

No, this won't be a post about me doing my laundry :)
The kids love to play in here though, especially on Pako's sleeping blankets. Here they are having a ball:

dancing queen

isn't she pretty ?

Into stuff

It's starting.. they're getting "into" stuff. Here's a whole bunch of glitter on my carpet (yesterday). And today I was about to start a load of laundry that I loaded a bit earlier - thank goodness I took a look inside before pressing start - I found a whole bunch of my books in there! Tula was good enough to help me get them out. Can't wait to see what's in store for me :)

little milestones or "mildstones"

- Junior is fully walking :)
- Tula has been following simple instructions for the last couple of days - get your shoes, get a book, brush your teeth... very cool
- last two nights we've been reading picture books at the twins request - last week they didn't know what to do with the books aside from throwing them around
- even though Tula has found her nostrils, she is still NOT picking her nose - very happy about this
- both wake up in the morning chatting not crying, sometimes Junior calls Tata for Jacek to come get them - very cute
- yesterday they learned how to blow their noses - we all have stuffy noses :(
- Tula can tell apart her foot from her sock from her shoe

day in the yard part 2

funnies

Tula has recently found her nostrils. She's been putting her finger into one hole and making sounds that are different from her normal voice - she's getting a kick out of it. Thankfully she hasn't figured out that she can pick it...
Today Junior was watching TV while standing right in front of me and I was looking at him. He wanted me to see something on the screen, but I kept looking at him. So finally, fed up, he took my face in his hands and just turned my head in the right direction.

Just a day in the yard
