Cute kids are my kryptonite

December1

A little more cute thrown together and masquerading as a blog post.

Sabrina has suddenly decided that cocking her leg up = posing.  I have no idea where she got this idea but it cracks me up.  It is like a bad JCPenney catalog shot.

“Look how easily the skirt moves! Comfort and value!” (Can I just say this is a 5T outfit?!?! Yes I have the waist cinched about as tight as it will go and the sleeves are rolled up a little but gah!  What happened to my baby?)

Sabrina is doing cheesy poses and Tessa has decided the camera is evil.  She will hide her face anytime she even hears me turn it on.  She runs and hides if I try to take her photo.  Or she just gives me a scary look that makes me want to lock my bedroom door while I sleep.

Occasionally, Steve is able to distract her and she forgets to hide.

Completely unrelated – I won a cookbook on a blog a couple weeks ago.  Sometimes it is the little things – Better Homes & Garden could have just thrown it into a box and I would have been happy.  But they wrapped it up and included a little note.  I thought it was sweet.  And somehow I don’t own this cookbook in any form.  I remember my mom using it when I was a kid so I’m looking forward to going through it.

    Love Sabrina’s posing! That is so funny. She looks wonderful in red.
    I keep saying this, but truly, I’ve never seen a kid smile so much, esp for the camera. She might be an America’s Top Model contestant in about 10 years or so.
    Very cool about the cookbook. I remember it too. Do share if you find something we need to know about : )

    that 2nd photo looks like Sabrina got into the Captain Morgans. Sorry. I couldn’t resist.

    I was thinking that Sabrina was looking tall!! 5T??? Reese is still in 3T:)

    Tessa, love that smile. Reese has never been much on the camera. I find it irritating!

    My Mom passed me down her coookbook, and I use it all the time!!

    I used to make the PB Cookies in that book EVERY snow day we had. Sadly, thanks to the hormones with my latest addition PB now causes my airways to swell closed !! Does not stop the brain from craving them though!!!

    I cracked up at Tessa’s “evil face” too funny (and love a donut girl try Donut Palace)… and Sabrina WOW! Show stopper!!!

    You will have to tell me (too) do you like that Imaginext Firehouse. We have lots of the collection just not that one and thinking Cruz would love it (eventually)

    Love the Captain Morgan look. Yes, that’s what I think of too.

    And I love what we refer to in our family and DH’s family too as “the red and white check cookbook”. We use the waffle recipe for our pancake batter and I make the chicken pot pie into turkey pot pie after Thanksgiving (with a few modifications from myself). Enjoy!
