More Emmie
This afternoon:
Em - Momma, what are we going to do now?
Me - We're going to go get shoes and Dad needs to go to Home Depot.
Em - We're going to go get shoes and Dad needs to go to Home Depot? Oh! I'm DOOMED!

kiddo update
Let's start with Brady. Brady loves to sing. He loves to dance. Dancing involves, for the most part, leaning his head from one side to the other and smiling. If he is standing he may bend at the knees while doing this. Anytime I break out in song, which happens often and randomly, he will dance and/or sing along.
Brady's words: "rock-rock" is "ott-ott", "thank you" is "ott-yott" and "you're welcome" is also "ott-yott" or sometimes "ott-da" depending on...I don't know what. "Heh-wo" (self-explanatory), "El-wo" is Elmo and an assortment of other cartoon or furry creatures. He'll generally answer "uh-huh" for yes, "uh-uh" for no.
As far as Carson goes, he's inordinately attached to Jeff and spazzes when I try to take him from Jeff, ever. He goes into mourning when Jeff leaves for work. But he's very good-natured and also gets over it quickly. He loves to climb (onto the table) and loves my computer (which is on the table). He loves his blanket, loves open cabinets, and loves books.
Carson's words: still "da baby!" for Brady, "hi", "OOOH AH DAT" which I think meant "look at that" one time upon seeing a balloon (and I'm pretty sure he said "boon" for the balloon but he hasn't repeated it.) He doesn't speak much but is always busy and quick with a smile!
They're growing like crazy, and they love each other but fight like baby tiger cubs...

rainy days and mondays
A little update. I posted a bunch of pics. Saturday we went to Magic Springs and the kids thought it was heaven. Or at least heaven-like. They had so much fun! I don't have pics of them at the water park since I let Jeff do that and took the twins to shade...but they were beside themselves to know that this place exists, in Arkansas, and we've never gone before. It was a great official end to summer.
The dress-up pics are my kids answer to rainy days - what could be more fun than dressing up two babies? The twins went along with the fun, mostly. Brady got a little weirded out by the unicorn costume after about 15 minutes (it's hot) and Carson didn't like the dragon head or the hunter's outfit, but by and large they had fun with it.
New words for Brady: I heard him say "Emmie" (I swear I did) and "Wiwee" (I think)
New for Carson: "uh-uh" for everything, "uh-oh baby!"

We went to Magic Springs Saturday and had a great time
Em was a little freaked when Ri and Logan got the teacups spinning really fast, but stayed brave!
this was an Emmie fave
Logan was really excited to be tall enough to do "big kid" rides
Jeff bribed Riley to ride this with him - she didn't love it!
they loved the rides
they gave him a mohawk
Brady looks a little too pretty...
he liked this outfit a lot...
my little power ranger
he likes the helmet
Carson didn't like this outfit
Brady didn't seem to mind too much
rainy days are for...dressing up!
