Technology QOTDs

These phrases have come out of our preschooler's mouth within the past week.

1) "Yeah, Mom, I saw it on Facebook."

2) "Hold on, I'm just going to text Sydney to see if we can go to her house."

3) "I'm going to give this to Daddy and he can email his friends about it."

I would just like to say that:
1) No, she does not look at facebook regularly (unless I want to show her a picture), and even then I didn't think she knew that it was facebook.
2) No she does not have her own phone, she uses the search function on the ipad to "text."
3) No, she does not email, though she does have her own little "laptop" thanks to Bops.

Seriously, the kids of this generation are going to be technological WIZARDS.  She already is and she isn't even four yet.

Favorite-Things-Phone-Dump Friday

Time...seriously.  STOP GOING SO FAST!

How is it Friday again already?

My ALL TIME FAVORITE THING EVER this week is this sister conversation I was able to capture on video.

Be still my heart.

Seriously, I can't stand the cuteness.  And the random preschool brain on display at the end.  Haha.

On to the other favorite things...

Favorite Thing #2: Working on independent sleeping...
my hand helps a little apparently.

Favorite Thing #3: Play date at the zoo with Kylie, Calvin and Sylvie

Favorite Thing #4: THIS FACE
Seriously. I can't get over it.

Favorite Thing #4: My Ekeberg uncles are in town! And my aunts will be here tomorrow!

Have a great weekend!

TBT

This week on Throwback Thursday I have matchy matchy shirt pictures.

I figure that I'll only get to do matching pictures during the fall and maybe spring months since they were born at pretty much the exact opposite time of year.  While Callie's cute chubby thighs were on display in the summer as a 6-month-old, Maya's will be covered up as a 6-month-old in the winter.

It's kind of a shame, actually, chubby baby thighs are THE CUTEST.

Anyway, on to the hand-me-down matching clothes pictures.

The heart shirt...bought for Callie for Valentines Day.  Maya still rocks it in October.

I believe this hoodie was a gift from Auntie Yoda.  Clearly they both enjoy it.

I call this the "Worried Princess" look.

They definitely have their own unique look, don't they?  It is fascinating how genetics work!

Lazy Mom Busted: QOTD

While getting Callie dressed this morning.

Callie: Jeans!
Me: Yep, you're wearing jeans. (Actually, they were jeggings, because she is too skinny with too long of legs to wear actual jeans).
Callie: What are you wearing? Capris?
Me: No, I'm wearing yoga pants.
Callie: Are we going to yoga today?
Me: Um, no.  They are just comfortable.
Callie: Oh.  I can yoga! (does a crazy yoga-like pose)

It may not seem that funny, but the way she said "Are we going to yoga today?" was asking more like yoga was an activity and not a place.  Like, "Are we going to run today?" or "Are we going to jump rope today?" 

Regardless, I was busted on wearing yoga pants with no intention of actually doing yoga.  Pretty much like every mom ever.

WNBA Champs

As you are probably aware of, if you follow this blog during the summer months, we are major MN Lynx fans. We have shared season tickets with my sisters the past 2 years.  My parents have been season ticket holders for all 15 seasons.  We LOVE women's basketball, and the Lynx are an amazing team to watch.

This season was special for us...for a few reasons.

 It started on June 1st- my dad's birthday. 

As we were planning which games to attend, we knew we had to take the end of July and most of August off, due to our special little delivery. 

Our little delivery just happens to have the same name as one of our favorite players.  And when she makes an amazing play, the crowd sings out "MAYA!" 

Loyal fans that we are, we watched a game in the hospital on the laptop after our Maya was born.

We got to sit courtside with my parents the last couple of games, and ended up with our pictures in the paper as spectators to the action on the court.

Last Thursday, they swept the post-season (only the 2nd team in the league to do so) and became WNBA champs for the 2nd time in 3 years.

Today, Boom, the girls and I went to a welcome home parade and pep rally to celebrate their season. 

We had a great time and can't wait for next season!!!! 

GO LYNX!!!!!!!

Weekend Wrap-Up

Now that it is mid-October it finally feels a bit like fall. I love jeans and sweatshirt weather!  We were able to take advantage of it this weekend.

Friday
Chris had reserve duty so I packed up the girls and we headed to Auntie Cat's house for some play time.

As you can see from the bottom right picture, Callie zonked out in the car on the way home at 6:40pm.  That's what happens when you don't nap!

Saturday
We headed to the Apple Orchard with Boom, Bops, Auntie Yoda, Auntie Mari and Josh.  It was SUPER busy there, so we didn't get to do much, but we got our treats!

She could not wait for her "candy apple"

Afterwards we headed back to the condo for lunch.  I couldn't help taking pictures of the girls in their sweatshirts.  And Little Squish was hamming it up!

Later we had dinner with Josh, Alison and Avery.

Haha poor Maya

Sunday

While Chris and Callie went to Sunday School, I worked on getting Maya to nap independently.  I gave up after picture #3, held her for about 40 minutes, and then was able to put her down (pic #4). She is a stinker!

Then we hung out and watched some football. At least Daddy and Maya did.

Obviously, the Vikings weren't very exciting.

We have renters moving into our old house next weekend, so while Chris and I went over there to get the house ready, G-ma and G-pa watched the girls.  They all seemed to have a great time.

AND G-ma got Miss Maya to drink from her bottle!

Next week is Maya's baptism.  My mom's family is coming from out of town and we are so excited! It will be a fun and busy week.

Hope you all had a great weekend!
