electric pants

lucas is growing like a weed lately. his head is too big for all of his sweaters, so i made a special trip to the mall to find one with a zip front. it was a gorgeous day out, too. so philippe took the kids to the park and i went shopping ALONE! it is such a rare treat for me that i went and bought myself some pink pants. i really needed them too. ;D... well lets just say, i had fun.

so after dinner, we got to all sit in the living room and open the shopping bags. i also found some very cute pajamas for the kids. race car #33 for lucas, and rainbow polka dots for ruby. the kids instantly went nuts for their new PJs.. and insisted they wear them immediately. as soon as the new pajamas touch their tender skin, they're electrified! they start dancing around shaking their booties to the music, laughing and running races back and forth all over the place, falling into chair cushions.

i really wish i could have had the camera on me for the dancing part, before they got caught up in their own little independent scenarios... because little colorful wagging behinds just make mamas happy. philippe said "this is so much better than TV. in fact, what're we gonna do when they grow up and leave? then we'll be so bored we'll HAVE to watch TV."
