All About Devin

Conversations with Devin:
Devin: "____is very nice."
Me: " What does very nice means?"
Devin: "...very nice means big 
hugs and kisses.."
*****
Devin: " The moon is made of popcorn."
Me: "Who told you that?"
Devin: "Jimmy Gourd." (a character from the Veggie Tales)
*****
Devin:" I have an idea! I want to eat cheeseburger & pick up garbage all day."
*****
Devin: "I have an idea! I want quality stuff not junk!"
*****
Me: "...(Insert any thought)..."
Devin: "Why?"
(Devin is in his "why" phase)

Games Devin invented:
*In the Middle of the night...*
How to play: Devin pretends to be sleeping in the middle of the night & things (could be anything, real or imaginative) would come & wake him 
up...The first time we played-he wanted me to get a disco ball to come & wake him up to dance. I said I didn't have a disco ball, then he said, "PRETEND!"
*****
*Astronaut Training*
He gets in a astronaut take off position (lying down with legs up & bended). And he tells you what mission he's going (e.g. Mission to Mars) but you have to give him an assignment (e.g. to collect rock samples to bring back to earth). Then you have to lift him up, pretending to be launching off a rocket...then let him complete his assignment & lift him up again for the trip back to earth. This involves a lot of lifting him up so it is basically an Andrew & Devin's game.

US Open-Kids' Day

We went to the US Open Kids'Day event last Saturday. Devin slept through most of the kids' activities, but he still had fun just being there. Serena couldn't care less as long as she was fed & well rested...

Watching the pros practice...

Here's Serena, not easily impressed...

Happy One Month Old

Wow! How time flies! Serena is already a month old!? Enjoy the pictures.



Like Brother, Like Sister (1)

We've been told by quite a few people that Serena looks like Devin. So I pulled out Devin's one month old picture to compare...and voila! They do look a lot alike...how about that!

Late Night Confessions

I just had one of those days today or yesterday rather...it wasn't bad, really, just got out of hand towards the afternoon. I let Devin watched one too many DVD's & too much Noggins on TV...I couldn't get both kids to nap at the same time...ate a whole thing of kit kat AND a bunch of frosted animal crackers! When I bought those, I knew I would ended up eating them. And Devin decided he wanted to eat some yogurt & wanted to try different flavors and opened 2 containers...he had some from both but the left overs somehow ended in my STOMACH! And yes, all that and I had breakfast, lunch & dinner too. I probably had more junk food but I can't really remember...but after the yogurt, I think I just stopped remembering...Then I saw a text message that my friend sent me earlier in the day that she ate a whole quiche in 2 days (don't worry-I won't named names). I was thinking, only if she knew what I HAD in a day!

"Looking good, Olivier! Yep, don't worry buddy, I still have your candies...for now."
