getting nothing done...

sweet kids on saturday morning... nora loves having baby james in her crib!! and he seemed to enjoy it, too!!

james sat up for the first time in his bumbo. he only lasted a few minutes... but we tried it again last night, so we could all eat at the same time!!

james just looked so cute the other day.. what a fun boy!

nora and i went to a birthday party the other day, and the kids got to dress up. nora loved her big, poufy dress!! (and yes, that is a boy in pirate get-up and a pink dress!!! his mom wasn't sure what to think... girls costumes are just more fun!!)

i held my "two babies" after church on sunday...

i couldn't get the picture to take just right, but nora's toes are pink!! she's so happy about them... we have matching toes!

then, it was bathtime for babies... the kids had fun!

then, we went to "coey's" house... our friend courtney has an apartment on the beach (for less than i pay... it's sick), so we have spent a few mornings there. nora kept getting very tempted to climb the rock wall... finally, she remembered she just learned "ring around the rosy", and did it until we were all dizzy! i was sitting on the towels with the girls, when nora grabbed my hand and said "walk the beach, mommy". how do you say no to that?? so, we walked and spun around in the waves. i am glad that she loves the beach so much.

we took a picture of the three of us, because we have all been walking together for the last few months. such good friends and walking buddies (courtney walks sadie while i push the kids). courtney's husband deploys soon, and she is moving home... we are so sad!!! then, kristen moves to the other coast...

i came home and made myself this AWESOME salad for lunch... but james didn't want to go to sleep, or just sit. he sat for a few minutes watching me eat, then wanted to be held. i had so much i wanted to get done during naptime, but ended up getting nothing done, and holding my boy (which, i think is the most important thing in the world!!!). he eventually fell asleep, and every so often i hear nora, but she may be back asleep too!! so, i did eventually get a few things done!

plus, i got lost in facebook for awhile... i went to look for a website on a friend's page, and ended up reading about everyone else's lives, too!!!
