Crazy Love Gamble-Style

Here's a video of the Lindor Dance Party, it just keeps getting better, so hang in there.  Sorry it's sideways.   : )

 So far we have really been enjoying our Spring Break!   We've been at the beach since Sunday and we've had lots of wonderful friends come join us.  First round was Ashlie, Jack, Hannah & Ryan.    All day Norah had been begging to go camping, it was bugging me, why can't she just be content with the fun we were having??  Turns out, by "camping" she meant go make s'mores!  So funny!  We had such a great time with the Elstads!!  The weather was crazy stormy, but that was just one more part of the fun! Here's a little video of how crazy windy it was on the beach, it was awesome!!  Next our friends Valerie, Jasmine & Haley all came to play.    Sister love!  Twister!  We kept getting little breaks in the weather which was so great since it was supposed to rain the entire week.   After our friends headed home I decided to take my kiddo...

The girls love to paint, and in an effort to have them do more projects, I have to say yes to them when they ask... : )  I even saved the bottom part of some bok choy so they could use it as a stamp to make flowers with.  Fun! This little video cracks me up.  I love Norah's imagination right now, it is so fun to listen to all the ideas she comes up with.  Here she was telling me about how the tooth fairy comes and takes your teeth out.  Although she changed it when I asked her to repeat it....  There, she fixed it, no one will ever know...  Silly faces!!  Such funny little girls!!

Norah has been so funny lately.  And even though this movie is oh so pathetically sad, I can't help but laugh.  She is so dramatic! The reason she was upset this time was that she thought I should go to the store that very moment to buy her mangoes, apparently she believes grandma would be more accommodating to her needs. The other day she was sitting on the couch I had just vacuumed, eating a muffin.  I looked over at her and she is just surrounded by crumbs (She often can eat them without making a mess at all) I say to her "Norah!! I just cleaned the whole house, I just vacuumed these couches!  Look at the mess you have made!!"  She looks to her left, then to her right, then says "Mom, I think you are going to need to vacuum this one again." hahahaha

Things have been so busy and I have a million photos to share, I can't decide which to start with, current ones or catch up with Christmas!  Here's my attempt to catch up quickly... Our Christmas is broken into 4 stages, I'm just going to shove them all into one post since we are a little behind around here.  The first part is Christmas Eve morning, where we do our little families Christmas morning one day early, this year we were joined by John's parents.  The girls had such a nice time having their grandparents stay with us all week, as did we!  Santa & the reindeer enjoyed their treats.   We got up way before the kids.  It was a nice relaxing morning, drinking coffee & waiting for them to come out and see what Santa had brought.  The living room was taken over by a big Hot Wheels race track and My Little Ponies galore.   Norah got the things on her list: A pretend mom, a horse, a pig and a ...
