So Long, Farewell!

Because of computer issues, I haven't been able to keep you updated on the events here at Wiggles and Giggles.
So now that those issues have hopefully been resolved, I can do a quick little re-cap of recent events.

First and foremost we regretfully bid our little Danial a farewell goodbye. His family has moved to Wyoming.
For our last field trip we honored his wish by going to the Living Planet Aquarium.
The Aquarium will always be a favored place to visit, and we welcomed any reason for us to return.
Here are a few of the dozens of pics that I took of that outing....









That was such a fun day! The kids still talk about it all the time as I am sure you have noticed!


Our letter for last week was "R".

So we made some noodle Rainbows.

Then we had Rigatoni for lunch....

Leiona really appreciated that!

Kids say the darnedest things!
I asked each one of the kids what words started with the letter"R".
Slade said "Red".
Hailey said "Rainbow"
Danial said "Road"
and last but not least, Carson our resident Genius said without hesitation, RR-Ga-Doid. (which happens to be a "slithery snake" for those of us with far fewer brain cells)

We also had the honor of having a special guest!
This is Baby Nick, we watched him for a friend for a few hours one day.

If he was hoping for some peace and quiet, he didn't get any!

Leiona Turns 2!

Happy Birthday Leiona!!!

The littlest member of the Wiggles and Giggles clan is not so little anymore.
Good bye little baby. Hello toddler!
I personally don't believe in the "TERRIBLE TWO'S"!
 In my experience I have found two's delightful!
They're just learning to talk.
They are curious to a fault.
They still like to snuggle.
I just love those aspects of a two year old. Leiona is no different.
She smiles abundantly from ear to ear.
Her eyes sparkle when she is playing contently.
She knows what she likes and wont tolerate what she doesn't.
She wanders from one activity to another, leaving a wake of ciaos behind her.
What I adore about her the most, is her big laugh!
And I melt when she snuggles with me in the "papa bear chair."
Two's are Terrific I say!



Here are a few highlights from her celebration at Wiggles and Giggles...


As excited as she was about those cupcakes sitting on the counter all morning,
she sure got suspicious of them all of a sudden!


The light bulb finally went off in her head....





and the cupcake exploded.......




all over the place!

Obviously not very excited about bath time!



Then she started splashing.....



and then decided that it wasn't too bad!


Clean at last.


All Tuckered out.

Everyday is a party to a two year old!
No wonder they're so much fun!
