what did you do?

what did you do?

usually its "dysa, what did you do?"

or

"dakota, what did you do?"

however 

more often now it is

"Jesse, what did you do?"

and 

every now and then it's...

"elleanne, what did you do?"

anyways these are mark's  famous words in 

the house....

mostly because of all the emphasis he

puts on the words...

just ask my family they can testify to 

this being 

"mark's phrase"
they think its funny
so its hard not to adopt this phrase when your here.

anyways...

this evening

we were all sitting down for 

a lovely meal of chicken pot pie...

nice comfort food 

being that everyone is 

sick and both kids had fevers

today....

oooohhhh and elleanne is sleeping

terribly....so everybody is sleeping terribly

sorry, back to the story.

so towards the end of dinner

i had placed annie's(elleanne) baby food maker jar

filled with pureed pot pie

behind her...

well she is a little acrobat and can literally contort her little body to get at anything...

even if she has to fold in half backwards

well of course

you can all guess she knocks it

over with pureed pot pie flying everywhere...all over the room!

great!

so I say..."shoot"

well jesse waits a total of 2 seconds then yells....

"shoot!"

and then follows it 

directly looking at me and yells

"what did you do?"

{however when he says this he says "wha do do do?" loudly}

he was as serious about his accusation as

judge judy or hannity against any liberal thinking!

well, that was about the only thing that could make me smile at that 

moment....
it is just crazy how quickly these kids catch on!

{oh yes...if you want to know the rest of the story

mark let the dogs in to help clean up the mess...

they are our vacuum cleaners

except that this time they found another animals poop

outside and proceeded to rollllll in it

soon all of our noses detected a most horrendous smell.

perfect, pureed pot pie, with a topping of wild animal poo

all over my dinning room!

as jesse says "gossss!" {gross}

oh its a monday.

hahaha

ok well

today i put together a little bit of a monatage 

of videos from the last month....

mostly its of elleanne's screams

however, i have still been unable to 

catch the real

loud, ear piercing things she is known to do...

the same thing jesse did. and there is a little bit of the kids playing....and i put a little bit of the kids "cheezin" it

to the camera.

but really quick i have to tell you

if you saw the last video

of jesse "reading his book"

when mark saw it he looked at 

me and said "Laura, you know he is not really reading, right?"

hahaha...yes this is my engineer husband.....thanks for looking out for me babe! hahaha 

ok here it is

just life.

yep.
decided to just post some pictures
and video 
of just life.


so...
the kids hangin out.

elleanne with her 2 most favorite things:

{well, besides eating...}

...her "why, why" {otherwise known as a pacifier}...its what i used to call it... i dont know?

...and her swing.

so jesse

makes it his relentless goal to re-arrange the entire house

to the best of his abilty every morning

without me knowing of course.

whats in my room ends up in his room

whats in alysons room ends up in the office

whats in the living room gets scattered everywhere...

and so on

his most favorite room

although seems to be taking anything he can get his hands on out of auntie alysons room and bring it somewhere else

and it is often her makeup

so her stuff to get ready with 

often goes missing.

here are some pictures of the offender and the 

offense.

{above} the pile of makeup that jesse thought should reside on the office desk.

so

when mark gets home from work

and i dont ask him to do anything

he often will take jesse outside and play catch with him and the dogs...

jesse LOVES it!

today i snuck a few snapshots through the

kitchen blinds [while finishing dinner].

and after dinner while i 

was burping elleanne

she was giving us huge smiles

we tried to get it on camera...

but to no avail.

oh well here is a funny/cute picture

anyways.

the last thing i have for you is 

a video.

i ahve been trying to dance with jesse

often to get him ready

for my brothers wedding..

so today i got some on video for you

but in the first part of the 

video he shows you 

how he can spin...

but he looks like a drunken sailor.

{sorry it is a little long.}

jesse {vs} dogs

....well the battle continues...


jesse infamously chases the dogs around with his "old lady" push toys and runs into the dogs...the dogs perpetually avoid him at all costs.

...he thinks  its the best game ever!

and if they even slightly 

walk behind him

he runs away squealing...

pretending that they are chasing him!

there is a video below however it does not capture everything

{disclaimer: please ignore the huge pile of laundry, all the crafts all over the carpet  and magazines  that jesse had just scattered everywhere!}
