The past week or so has been quite something with my kids. They have kept me on my toes, and cracked me up so many times.
Little miss Kate has been into EVERYTHING... absolutely everything. She has the most inquisitive little mind and the cutest, cheekiest little personality. Those things combined, mean trouble, a big mess and a cute smile to melt your heart when you should be mad. lol
Here are some of the pictures I caught this week of Kates little adventures.
On Sunday, we had family home evening, and I was talking to Luke about loving our family, and learning to do things together that make us happy and learning to share better.
I asked Luke if he loves mommy... he answered a big 'YES'.. then I asked him the same question about daddy and Kate... to which he replied "No, I don't like daddy...or Kate"... lol... we had fixed those feelings by the end of our discussion.
I also asked him if it makes him happy when baby Kate shares her pink monkey with him (her favourite snuggle toy that isn't easily shared), to which he replied, "no, baby Kate is a stinker".. haha... Jake and I couldn't keep straight faces. I guess Kate hasn't been sharing very well lately so Luke thinks she is a stinker. haha.

Tonight I went to Target with the 2 kids. Luke was in a crazy talking frenzy...like a thousand words a minute I'm sure.. my brain just couldn't keep up. Things went something like this:
Me: Luke, buddy, can you be quiet for just a minute cos you're talking so much, my ears are going to fall off soon.
Luke: Ok mommy...
For the next 10 minutes any time either Kate or I made a peep Luke put his finger to his lip and said, "Ssshhhh, you're going to break mommy's ears"
**********************************************
A few days ago, Luke comes to me and says, "mommy, I need your keys.." so I ask him what he needs them for, and he says, "I'm riding my bike to the mail box to get the mail.. I'll be right back!" LOL
And so off he went... around the corner, to the backside of the apartments to get the mail (I had to follow behind him because I know he can't reach the mail box and unlock it) It all made me laugh though.. I started envisioning the future when he gets his drivers license and says a similar "mom I need your keys... I'll be right back" lol
He just cracks me up.. funny boy!

| That cheeky little face that gets away with just about anything. |
 |
| She found the baby powder...all over herself and the carpet in her room. Gotta love that cheeky face. |
 |
| My skinny little funny girl.. she cracked me up sitting with her towel on her head, playing butt naked on the floor after bath. She LOVES being naked. |
 |
| This was after she got hold of the baby wash and decided to lather her hair (and the bathroom floor)... she had to get a hair wash over the bathroom basin in the middle of the hair.. squeaky clean hair that day. lol |

| She found my mascara... sneaky sneaky... |

| How SERIOUSLY GORGEOUS is this face? |
| We ran into a little dilemma a couple weeks ago. We were in Babies R Us, and Luke who is VERY into rainbows (of all things) right now, spotted a fairly hideous rainbow tie-dyed outfit in the girls department. He's just recently started developing an opinion about his clothing (no more just buying him what I like... he refuses to wear it if he doesn't like it and I have to return it) Anyways, he was dead set on getting this rainbow outfit (not that we were even there shopping for clothes)... we tried to explain that it was a girls outfit, and that we weren't buying clothes that day, but he was just distraught... he SOBBED about this rainbow outfit. Jake and I couldn't help but giggle about it (obviously not while he was looking at us)... We managed to get him out of the store in one piece, after allowing him to pick out a treat from the checkout... and we have since settled on a rainbow themed party for his 4th birthday. LOL.. yup... my 4yr old boy is having a rainbow party. (there are worse things, right? haha) He is so funny sometimes, and it's great (and often challenging) to see his little personality and strong will start to shine through. Love this kid... lol  |

Luke is finally starting to fight nap.. given that he'll be 4 next week I'm not surprised.. in fact I feel super lucky that nap lasted this long.. and most days he always napped willingly.
With his recent refusal to nap, I've started allowing him to quietly watch a movie while Kate naps... so she goes to bed, and he gets comfy on the sofa for a movie (I still need my quiet time during nap, so this was our compromise)... the funny thing about it all, is that he rarely makes it very far into his nap time movie, and this is the result. LOL... He wants to be big and not nap anymore, but really I think he still needs his little siesta. I've just gone along with it...
On a lot of days, Luke and Kate just drive each other crazy.. she gets in his way, he pesters her.. she bites him, he pushes her etc etc... It's pretty frequently a battle ground in our home with these two struggling to 'play nice'... BUT, there are days when they are just sweet as can be together... today was one of those days.

| More sweetness...some days they play so well (others..not so much. lol) And that is life in the Geddes home right now.. we have so much fun with these two little monkeys.. they're hilarious (and exhausting) and we love them SOOO much! |
