Cuter than it looks

We've got a new morning routine that has been working out quite nicely for us - we have Ish sit on the bench in the entry way and we put on his coat/hat. Ish has gotten used to it and sits like a good boy. Sometimes he sings - which is what he is doing in these pictures.

It's not a recognizable song by any means - just a bunch of "ning ning ning nings" - it requires him to scrunch up his face, giving us this look:

As he continues, we get this gem of a face:

Here he is taking a break from singing so that he can zip up daddy's sweatshirt - don't want daddy to get cold!

After zipping up daddy's shirt, he picks up where he left off:But you have to admit - the end result is quite cute!

Wishlist Wednesday - The Swedish Edition

I have become a little obsessed with all things organized. Matt and I have tackled quite a few rooms in the house so far in an effort to better organize our spaces. Our last project (read: when we have so much disposable income laying around that we just HAVE to spend it) will be our kitchen (the last owner didn't exactly have an eye for quality). I like what Ikea has to offer lately - so my wish today is for the time and money to put together a nice little plan like the one here:

So that my kitchen can look like this:

Or this:

Perhaps it would inspire me to cook more (or just cook period!!)

Random Saturday

Is there a better way to start a weekend than by hanging out with your teddy bear in a random cardboard box?

Of course there's always the "hang out under the chairs in the kitchen" option that seems to be a crowd pleaser.

As a last resort, you could always be "normal" and play with your toys on the floor like other children do.

Eh, as long as your cute, you can pretty much get away with anything - Ish is proof of that!

Rebel

We're thinking of adding a sidecar for his stuffed monkeys, his pacis and blankie, you know, to complete his tough guy image.

The one thing momma seems to be good for...finding the ON switch

There must be an on switch here somewhere...

Hmm...maybe it's on the back?

Nope - where the heck is it????

Momma - HELP!!!

Wagons Ho!

Matthew figured out how to climb into his Mega Blocks wagon the other day. That made for hours of entertainment.

He even insisted that we hand him his favorite toys so that he could play with them in the wagon.

What was even more exciting was being wheeled around the kitchen by daddy.

Grandma and Grandpa bought him a real wagon for Christmas - wait until he sees this outside in the spring!!
