Nicole: Noah, what do you want for dinner tonight?
Noah: A pizza pie and spicy meatball.

Makes me chuckle to think about him saying it. He was so serious about it too...

Door County, 2010

The images below are from Memorial Day with the Matt's mom's family --I think that we had nearly 30 people this year. Things to remember from this trip: Noah needing to take a basketball in the car, warm sunshine, checking on the rocks off the dock, ice cream lunch with the VanDrunens, chasing kids on the lawn, throwing rocks into the bay, ice cream clowns at Wilson's, margarita date with Matt, digging in the 'digging spot', witnessing shoe flinging contests, cuddling with the kids, cool mornings with hot drinks in hand.

What happened to May?

I'm not really sure what happened to May. I was looking back through my photo archives and here is what I've found. Nothing earth shattering, just the normal stuff of life with two two-year-olds, I guess.

Noah figured out how to put his pants on, sort of.

Ella, taking ques from Curious George, has perfected the art of putting food between her toes and then lifting her foot to her mouth to eat the food. Hygienic, huh?

The Potoshnick children had haircuts.

I gave in to my desire to get little bento-style lunch boxes for the kids.

Ella renewed her relationship with baby and they are best buds again. Ella works hard to wrap, er smother, baby in blankets. She also has been showing a strong interest in doing everything herself as well as the color pink.

Noah continued with his tower building. The one below was all his creation, except for two blocks at the bottom.

I've been tending to the garden, nurturing my tiny seedlings, and rearranging plants.

Noah used his potty for the first time. I don't think that a boy has ever been happier with himself. And me, I had no idea that I would be so happy about it. I felt like I won the momma lottery.

And Ella has been experimenting with new accessories while strutting around the yard in her undies.
