havn't shared anything about the daycare kiddos in a while. might be because i havn't taken any photos of them in a while. my camera has been ignored lately. i don't like that, and decided to brush the dust off it for a few minutes today. because i had to get some photos of these two.
as i was pulling up this photo, i realized that i did in fact take ONE photo in the last 6 weeks of haley. and she was wearing the exact same shirt. lol! just a funny sidenote. so haley shows up today with not one, but two tattoos on her arms. she has these from time to time. her and her dad love to put the tattoos on her.
you were probably expecting a butterfly or a heart, right? not haley. she goes for the bolder choices. i'm hoping those come off pretty easily. she's in a wedding on saturday. lol!
then nikolas showed up. he walked in wearing all these smiley face stickers. he had 5 on his right arm, and one on his forehead. it was so stinkin cute.
man, aren't those little hands and arms just calling out to be squeezed? i tell him about 83 times a day how cute he is. at one point, he was hiding behind the rocking chair. i think he was trying to get away from haley or something. then he stayed back there for a while, and was really quiet. he finally came out, and he didn't have any stickers on his arm. i asked him where they were, and he said "on the chair". i forgot all about them.
and i'm thinking he forgot about the one on his forehead. lol! i'm not making this part up. he wore that sticker on his forehead for over 2 hours. i was constantly laughing, because it was so funny. he even wore it during snack time. i finally took it off when he laid down for a nap.
nikolas also started bringing a backpack with him. i keep all the diapers and stuff here, so he never came with anything. now it's so cute to see him pull out all this stuff that he decided important enough to bring. he's been packing some snacks too. probably after watching big brothers and sister pack their lunches. here he's snacking on pretzels.
and here's haley snacking on the pretzel's she kept snagging from nikolas's backpack. she would run over and grab one super quick, watching him the whole time to see if he was watching her. then he would see her, and yell "nooooo, haley". and she would run for her dear life, land in the beanbag, and munch away. of course, the rule is that if you bring something, you have to share. but nikolas doesn't quite get that part yet. i keep telling him that haley always shares. she loves to bring us donuts every once in a while :)
and right before nikolas left today, i was cleaning up toys on the floor. and i spotted 5 smiley stickers all lined up on the back of the rocking chair. i reminded nikolas that he left his stickers there. he disappeared behind that chair for a few minutes. and when he came out, he had all 5 stickers lined back up on his arm. i offered him the one for his forehead back, but he didn't want it. lol!
and just something funny that haley said the other day, and i don't want to forget. i have about a million of these funnies, i really should write more of them down. anyways. i was in the bathroom, going tinkle. and of course, the kids are in there with me. because it would make no sense to let laura do her 10 seconds of business by herself, right? lol! haley asked me if i wanted her to shut the door. i said "nope, it really doesn't even matter at this point". and then she says "do you want me to get you some privacy?". omg, it was hilarious! i love these kids so much :)
hahahha.. do you want me to get you some privacy! seriously.. absolutely.. stinkin' cute!

I love listening in on my kids conversations - I have a notebook to write down all their cute comments! Like the day I heard Emma exclaim 'I don't want to play this anymore, I want to play shopping!' - that's my girl!!

HAHAHA!! They really are too cute! I think it's hysterical that Nicholas put the sticker back on to leave! What a funny little guy! BTW--I "think" the tattoos will come off w/rubbing alcohol.

They are SO stinkin' cute - I love reading the stories about these two! I'm just waiting to see H in some Ed Hardy tatoos next - she would probably love them! And those smiley stickers - I wouldn't be able to stop laughing at the forhead one - he is a cutie!!

Too funny :) Man, kids just crack me up! My boy is obsessed with tattoos, too, and Sara's right, they will come right off with rubbing alcohol.
