MY TRIP TO PARIS

I went to Paris this week. It was a lot of fun. I went with the girl that is living in my basement (Carla). We went to the Arc De Triomphe, the Louvre, Notre Dame, and the Eiffel Tower. It was an insane day with A LOT of walking. I am just posting the pictures. If you want to hear about everything, I will tell you when I get there. Woo Hoo. One more week until we leave for the good ol USA. We miss you all. Enjoy the pictures.

No, I didn't fix my blog, but there are not so many pictures on it, so I can just type out an explanation without screwing stuff up.

Chase is into Star Wars. This is a recent development. We made a long drive with the kids (made even longer by snow) while my parents were here. I feel it was a stroke of genius on my part to put Star Wars in the movie bag. I put 3, 5, and every girl's personal favorite 6 (who can get over the little Ewoks. They are so cute). I don't know the actual names of the episodes, so you will have to deal with the numbers. He wants to watch Star Wars every day. He doesn't really like the newer ones. He actually will tell me that he wants to watch the Luke Skywalker Star Wars. I think those ones are better anyway.

I guess he picked the right time to get into Star Wars because I think it is coming back. We went shopping today, and there were Jammies, Under-roos and many other things sporting C-3PO, R2D2 and Yoda. Well most of you know the shopaholic in me had to buy something useless. I bought him some Star Wars sun glasses. We came home from the store, and he had to watch Star Wars (or as he calls it Star Whores, yes I am embarrassed. Let’s just hope he doesn't talk about it in public too often) while wearing his glasses.

EXPLINATION FOR PICTURES BELOW

First Picture: I love this picture of Madison. It just shows how much she has grown. She has curly hair. I love it. It is so cute. It isn't annoying curly yet, even though I think it might be going that way.

Second Picture: This is Madison's toy house. Our neighbors gave it to her for her first birthday. She loves it. It is her favorite toy

Third Picture: Chase loves to have his picture taken, and will do all he can to get me to take one of him.

Fourth Picture: Chase playing with his train tracks. He has been getting into these a lot more lately. I think that is because he can put them together by himself now. I think it is obvious that I helped with the figure 8

Fifth Picture: Madison being her goofy self. She loves putting things in her mouth

Sixth Picture: Madison looking through her legs. I loved when Chase learned how to do this, and it is the same with Madison.

Seventh Picture: Madison just happy because she is eating.

JUST THE KIDS BEING CUTE
