Mission Impossible?

I should have done laundry on Saturday, but I didn't so I went to do it yesterday and I had a load in the wash and the nest load ready to go in and I closed the door hoping that Emma wouldn't open the door and play with the knobs on the washer. Anyway, I went to change loads and the door knob was locked.... This is interesting because there is no lock on the door knob, it just wouldn't open. There weren't any screws to take the knob apart from the side of the door I was on. Luckily, the laundry room doubles as a back entrance. However, we do not have steps leading up to the door because it is on the back side of our trailer, which is in our neighbours yard so we just never use it and it is our emergency exit. I couldn't climb up and reach the door so I had to wait for Jon to come home and be my hero. His only regrets were that there wasn't any music playing and that we didn't have little radios to communicate with eachother. I just hope that the same thing doesn't happen in a different room, especially my pantry where nearly all of our food is kept!

Fun With Dad

Is it really any wonder why Emma can hardly wait for Jon to get home? Don't worry though he is very careful with our children (note the protective gear). She had the time of her life and the whole next day she was dragging her teddy bears and dolly around in the laundry basket. She can hardly stand the long wait for Jon to come home to swing in a blanket, go for a ride in a laundry hamper, crash on the bed or couch, or get thrown in the air, or spin around as fast as Jon can go. She is always game for an adventure. I'd say she take after her dad just a little bit.

Here is Chris at my mom and dad's for his birthday. I think he liked the ride for the most part, he was only scared for part of the ride. The part where we were stopped he really enjoyed!

Happy Birthday!

So today is Christopher's first birthday and his appitite is growing almost as fast as he is. For lunch he easily polishes off an enire grilled cheese sandwich, milk, vegies and some fruit for dessert. Not even Emma can pull that off, well once in a while she can, but not often. He's getting into everything as fast as can be. He's learned to be really quick. He has to beat Emma if he wants something. These guys are best friends and worst enemies all at the same time. Their favorite thing to do right now is to slide down a carseat box that Emma fixed up as a slide by climbing on it and squishing it. Chris took a few steps all by himself on Sunday so I'm afraid it won't be long now before he's running full tilt! This first picture is of Chris yesterday, just after his first haircut. Do you see how long it was before? Yikes!

And of course ... the famous box slide
