Jake put together his new bike trailer (he ended up having to fabricate a bracket to fit his bike). Scarlett was so excited to wear her helmet and go for a ride.
I found a metal filing cabinet on Craiglist for $20. I brought it home, spray painted it flat black and covered the drawers with contact paper left over from when I did our mantle. When I went to pick it up I found several blank checks and a passport that had fallen behind one of the drawers. Some lady was selling it for her friend, she was so grateful I returned those items but when she looked at the passport she was puzzled. The passport wasn't even the same nationality as her friend! Who knows how long it's been in there?? When I was cleaning it at home I found an old used q-tip and a plastic press on finger nail. Gross! Needless to say I wiped it down with some disinfectant before bringing it into our home.
And we found out that Scarlett can roll her tongue!
Also, Scarlett calls "oatmeal" "chainmail" and when I repeat back what she said she just seems confused. I think she really thinks she's saying "oatmeal."
Last night Scarlett found a Winnie the Pooh book to read before bed. When I finished she wanted to read it again so she started yelling "MORE POOP!" hahahaha I couldn't stop laughing! And tonight she picked it up and said "poop!" oh my! Who named Winnie the Pooh?
Lately Scarlett has been repeating everything. But not after it's said - no - she likes to repeat things while they're being said. For example: when we pray she likes to pray simultaneously with me. When watching a show she talks with the characters - especially if it's a show she's seen over and over. Right now she's really into the movie Cars. She gets so excited when she sees any trophy now "it's a piston cup!" Love her!

That's a ton of stuff! I didn't do anything and I don't have any kids--I don't know how you do it!!
Winnie the poop- that is always a good one.
Chainmail- I will never eat oatmeal again, Chainmail anyone?
Love the tongue roll!
The gate is fantastic- I'm sure it will keep the girls safe and Jami from ever being able to go upstairs. Ha-ha
Of course you took an old filing cabinet and made it look like a nice piece of furniture.
The bike setup looks like many hours of fun for Scarlett and her daddy.
I can't believe you are doing projects and you have new babies and a toddler. I kind of need a nap after reading about how busy you've been. :-)
Now jake needs to manufacture some parts so he can hook 3 of those trailers together like a train. They can all go for a bike ride together while you soak in a hot bath and eat treats.
Gosh all I did for the first year with twins, was...basically nothing. :) You are awesome. Vivian called Winnie the Pooh "poop" too. And your filing cabinet looks fantastic!
Love that when you baby-proof a home it really seems more parent-proof! ;)
I love LL's idea about a bike train! Hahaha!!!
I agree that Pooh has an unfortunate name! Angie used to have a Pooh bear shirt and she would tell people that she had poop on her shirt. I got dirty looks from elderly woman at the store every time!
The filing cabinet looks great! It has had an "interesting" life so far--good thing your home will be sure to add some more excitement to it's life! :)
Scarlett is adorable! Always thought I hated chainmail--now I love it!
