Alyssa has "Crabs..."

Recently, we found a very interesting fact about Alyssa. After watching Daddy work really hard to get the precious crab meat out of the shell, all the while "patiently" saying, "Unh, unh! Mowr, mowr!" it was discovered that Alyssa REALLY likes crab. But all that work and cost is just too much for us. Instead, we use the finest imitation crab that Wal-Mart can provide. :-)

It has been a very busy extra-long weekend for the Twins to say the least. We went to Amish country and purchased large amounts of cheese. The Twins ran around Heini's (which has major amounts of cheese for purchasing and sampling said cheese samples) attempting to beg cheese samples from various people other than Mommy, Daddy, Bic, or Jeff. (What can I say, they love cheese!) To top the weekend off, Mommy and Daddy found out that their favorite diapers that keep the baby butts at bay have been discontinued in a size 6, which is what the Twins are now wearing. So instead of going to see , we traveled around the Columbus area to various Wal-Marts, picking up 23 packages of size 6 White Cloud diapers. Yeah....fun times were had by all. :-)

Outside is fun!!!

Mommy was outside today working on a new hose-winder while Daddy was helping out by watching them run around. The Toddlers were helping in a variety of ways. For example, Aron was holding the pliers that Mommy ended up not needing. Meanwhile, Alyssa was going around the backyard on her tractor. They are having a grand time running around the backyard. Sometimes they have their shoes on, but most of the time we run around in bare feet. Either way, they are enjoying themselves and making bedtime a lot easier because they are tiring themselves out! :-)

Flowers in the backyard...

"Amma" and Grandpa had an unusual experience on Saturday. They found a couple of flowers pounding at their sliding door, trying to get inside. The "flowers" were later identified as The Toddlers in disguise. They then spent a couple of hours wandering around their backyard, picking real flowers and playing with grass blades. Their favorite game was to pick the dandelions growing in the yard and giving them to Mommy.

At the end of the day, they were exhausted. Aron chose to fall asleep with his screwdriver, which proves he has to be my son. Alyssa chose to sleep with her Dolly. Both fell asleep within minutes and slept through the night.
