"The Store"

Demani seems to be taking after his mom with his fondness for going to the store. Sometimes it's our thing to do together. He's a big fan of Target (like his mom). In fact one day we were playing with sidewalk chalk in the driveway and I was asking him what he wanted me to draw for him and he said, "Target." So, since I am not an artist, I drew a simple square with the word Target above it and the bullseye symbol. Thankfully, he was satisfied with this. Mathwon got a kick out of it when he came home from work and sees pictures on the driveway of a car, a flower, and a circle and ....Target?

Demani is busy putting everything together in his head, he's realizing that most things come from a store. This morning he was holding a golf ball he asked if I got it from the store. Then he picked up a tee and asked if it came from the store. It's been his favorite question this week. So I should not have been surprised when yesterday he asked, "You get the babies at the store?"

a few pics

I've been meaning to post these. These are from the end of June. Making jelly, playing at the park (the kids love to swing), and Apple Hills. We've snapped some good ones recently so I will try to get those up soon!

He's full of one liners...

Scene: Chaotic dinner. Mexican night. I made Demani salsa dippers - a quesadilla with refried beans and cheese, cut into strips and dipped into fresh salsa. The babies had the same, minus the salsa. And last night no one was eating it! Seren just kept turning her head when we tried to help her get started by feeding her a piece and Mekai was throwing his on the floor. We tried to encourage Demani to take bites and it wasn't working. I couldn't believe that no one was going for it! Demani was just sitting there looking at his plate full of food and said,

"Mommy, I need some food!"

We laughed so hard. Mathwon may have found it a bit more funny than I ;)

Thank God for peanut butter and jelly!!

Such a talker! Such a walker! Such a sweetie!

Scene: Leaving for my hair appointment and running late I waved to the kids and gave Mathwon a kiss before running into the kitchen and heading for the front door. It was at this moment that Demani said: "I need a kiss!" You know I turned right back around and gave that little man a kiss!

Scene: Upon returning from my hair appointment, I walked in the door and I heard squeals of delight, especially from the twins and I said, "Is that all for me?" And Mathwon said, "Yep, they are happy to see you!" (I love when they are happy to see me ;)

So I got a new hair do...I was hoping that Mathwon would like it (he does) but when I got to the top of the stairs and Demani saw me he just kind of looked at me and walked towards me and said, "Nice haircut Mommy!"

Scene: This morning, Mathwon had just left for work. About 15 minutes after he left Demani said, "Where's Daddy?" And I said, "He had to go to work." Demani says, "He getting money." I laughed and said yes he's getting money.

Mekai has taken his first steps and just gets more confident every day. Pretty soon he is going to be running after his brother.... When he snuggles against me and rotates his little arm to get comfortable against me - I dont' know what it is about that little movement that just thrills me but I just love it when he does that!

Seren is walking along everything and getting more confident every day. She is such a sweetie. She loves to play with my hair and that just makes me feel so loved (not sure I can explain it). But when I pick her up after nap time and she puts her little arm around my neck and into my hair - all is right in my world.

I'll try to get some pics up soon!
