All American
The perfect new pjs for a big patriotic boy who wears underwear!
Caught red, white, and blue handed with playdoh in his mouth!

Kira loves
...her brother
Max brought Kira 'white blankey' and when he decided he wanted it back (one second later) he was nice enough to fetch her another blankey. Because the kitchen floor is clearly the best place to cuddle on the floor with blankeys.
"Look at this boo boo on my foot on my foot, Kira! I'm a bad boy. I think she's gonna cry." *Max determined that he was bad because he stepped on a car and cut his foot. And he was sure Kira would cry because his injury was so severe. But she just smiled, as usual.
First thing this morning Max asked mommy if his jersey was dirty. Yes. Always. She had slipped it into the laundry basket with full intentions of taking it right back out should Max's temper errupt. Instead, Max said he would wear his rocket ship shirt since the jersey was unavailable. It worked out perfectly, because, as he explained last night, he would need to wear his rocketship shirt to retrieve his balloon in the event that it went up in the air. Where balloons tend to go.

TGIM!
Kira says, Thank goodness it's Monday!
Not rolling yet, but she sure likes when her mommy pushes her over. Really, she does.
Working on it...
Target date for three! (Plus their two chaperones). As Sadie guessed correctly, baby Kira was home sleeping.
Sporty love
Mommy: Max, if you smile for a picture I will let you have a turn with my camera.
Late night Max update- because it was just too sweet to not record for posterity-
Max: (after being in bed for over an hour and a half) Mommy! Mommy! Mommy!
Mommy: Yes, Max?
Max: Where's my football blankey?
Mommy: (thinking, you never ask for that, but thank God I know where it is) Here- do you want it on top of you?
Max: (with a huge smile and half closed eyes) Now I am so warm. I am so warm!
Mommy: Goodnight, Max. I love you.
Max: Thank you SO much for wrapping me up in this blankey. Thank you so much.
On the way to Target Max spotted Chick fil A...
Max: Mommy, is that Chick fil A open?
Mommy: yes
Max: So we can go there after Target.
Mommy: (nada)
While walking into Chick fil A...
Max: I'm going to get a balloon and if it flies up in the air I will put on my rocketship clothes so I can get in my rocketship to go in the sky to get it. And I will put on my rocketship clothes! And I will go in my rocketship! (Repeat monologue x10)
After realizing that Max likes to use mommy's camera she decided to offer him the chance to use it in exchange for a few smiles. Or one. Max, however, has a bigger end game in mind. End of the year game that is.
Max: I don't want to use that one because Santa is bringing me my own camera for Christmas.

Three kid band
Max, Ben, and Hannah: The "big" kid
Max LOVES Ben, and that is great considering he is such an upstanding boy and an excellent influence on the General. Max is also quite possessive/jealous when Ben's attention goes elsewhere- like to his sister, Hannah. "I don't love her!" Max rudely claimed. But we all know what it means when boys say that about girls.

Go big or go home
Max finally took the plunge and went número dos in the potty. Always one for the dramatic, Max then needed an actual plunger. Lovely.
Playing with the camera timer
Kira could watch Max eat all day!
Timmy came over to play with Max and Ceci came to help with Kira, so the girls made hair bows.
Ceci is a mommy in the making.

Black [eye] Friday
Is it possible that this happy girl spits up more than her big brother? It is indeed, and she thinks it is just hilarious. The ruffles on her second saturated outfit of the day mask the evidence well.

From the mouths of baby smiles
Kira's big, beautiful smile says it all. Max's big, giggling mouth has a lot to say these days, too. On the way home from school mommy treated him to one of his favorite pastimes- going through the car wash. The salt covered car needed a bath and since the insane cold has kept us housebound, a field trip was in order. At some point during the trip, mommy said "Darn it!", one of her go-to child-friendly phrases. But Max gave her the dagger eyes. "Why you say that, mommy!" Mommy explained that "darn it" is not a bad word, but he did not buy it. As soon as he saw daddy, he reported, "Mommy said a bad word!" Apparently Max is as receptive to tone as he is to language. And he enjoys a good tattle, too.
Just can't stop comparing these two bambinos

Snow bunnies
Kira loved watching the two good balls play in the snow
