What do you think??

Tonight on TBS "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" was on and Gretchen walked in the room at the same time as little Cindy Loo Who was on the TV I thought they looked a lot like. What do you think?

Letter of The Day

I have been feeling like I haven't been the best and most attentive mom lately. I spend more time on the computer during the day then needed. I need to spend more quality time with Easton and Gretchen doing stuff and teaching them. Instead of just being in the same room as them while they are playing. Easton has been a little on the ornery side lately so I decided maybe we should do some sort of learning activities. I came across this blog post. It made me think hmmm maybe would should try it. So I sort of devised my own plan and today was the start of Letter of the Day.

Today's letter is: E

So we went on a walk for Exercise. When we came home we talked about all the different things that start with the letter E. He got to watch Word World one of his favorite shows. He got very excited when there was an Elephant on it. Then when Gretchen took a nap he colored the letter E and we drew pictures of other things that start with E.

He must have been hungry when he was coloring because he kept telling me he was coloring it chocolate brown.

Then we read an Elmo book, and Green Eggs and Ham.

Then during lunch we listened to all the songs on my ipod that started with the letter E. There was only 3, Ever Ever After by Carrie Underwood, Everything by Michael Buble, and Eye of the Tiger by Survivor. He loves the Eye of the Tiger so that was only fitting.

Tomorrow is Garbage day so Easton helped to Empty the garbage.

Tomorrows letter of the Day is A.

The Zone

This is what I like to call "In the Zone." Sometimes in the mornings I have to allow a little TV time so that I can get a few things done. Usually Gretchen doesn't get "in the zone" but this morning Arthur sparked her attention I guess.

Sunday Night Football

Gretchen is turning into a TV junkie at the age of 2 1/2 months. On Sunday night she was totally crying and Chad turned it to Football and she stopped immediately and was in the Zone. She watches sports really well. I am assuming it is because there is a lot more movement then other programs. I thought this picture was super cute of her and her dad watching the game.
