This is Lydia's little nest. It is under our desk. She has a stash of stuff she keeps under there. Toys, blankets, and I found food back there too. I removed it when I found it and later she came to me and said "mommy! somebody took my snacks!"
We frequently make play-dough cookies using cookie cutters.
My girls love playing with the blocks they got for Christmas from Grandpa Groneman. These are the same one's I played with as a child. Kiera can build towers taller than she is. Lots of fun.
We don't really have a yard, but we have plenty of concrete to play with scooters on. My we recently got Lydia's used for free. It is spider-man black and missing a handle, but she loves it. I guess it is only a matter of time until she figures out that Kiera's princess one is better. Until then, we are having a blast and they are both quite good.
Playing babies. Always a favorite. I can't tell you how many times they have given birth to their babies.
And now, the funny things they do and say:
1. Kiera was frustrated with some toy she was playing with. She said "that make me have NUTS!" I realized she was trying to copy the expression I probably use too much "that drives me nuts!"
2. Lydia has decided she is a kitty-cat. Thus, she must give kitty kisses. Which means I frequently end up kissing her tongue. Yuck! No more kitty kisses!
3. Lydia said today "I want to take off my clothes so everyone can see my button like Jasmine!" We had our first modesty chat.
4. Lydia thinks M&M's are called "emmy M's" after her cousin Emmy.

Thanks for the good laugh! If my belly button were as cute as Lydia's, I'd probably want to show it off too!
Those blocks are probably among the most well-used pieces of wood that ever grew on a plant.
Ah...thanks for sharing life in the Nelson household. I miss my Nelson family. Those girls are just so cute I can hardly stand it...and I can't stand living so far away.
I had to do a double-take at that first picture. Lydia looks so old!! I kept thinking it was Kiera, but no, it's Lydia. Man, she's grown up!
Emmy misses her cousins. We hope to see you guys sometime soon. She is really into being animals too right now, so she and Lydia would love being kitty cats together.
I love your posts. I just wish I could get even more of em from everyone! A Great laugh after a frustrating day is always good! Give those little dollies a kiss from Grandma! I miss them, and they have done some serious changing in the last 2 months since we saw them! :( I hate to have them growing up so far away!
We had some of those blocks too--those are the best!! They just don't make 'em like they used to. Your girls are so cute. I love seeing everything they are doing; it makes me want little girls but I guess I'm signed up for boys for now.
