My favourite time...

I love all the different activities I do with my chicks during the day but my favourite time with them is bath time!
We have our routine and sometimes we mix it up, but whatever way we do it, I love bath time!
Usually Carebear goes first and then she goes to bed and then I'll do B-Man. I split it up so I only have to do one kid at a time (since I do bath time by myself when Mr. Rooster is not home).
Both of my chicks LOVE the water! They would never get out if they didn't have to! They love splashing and playing with their toys (which I now clean and replace more often thanks to the wise words of cdnkaro (see #10).
Sometimes I`ll get B-Man to go first which Carebear loves! She loves getting to wash the baby, and splashing in his water! She gets so excited when I say it's bath time that she'll grab his tub and run to the bathtub to put it in! LOL She seems almost disappointed when I tell her that her bath is first! LOL

The other day I bathed the kids together for the first time and loved every moment of it! It was so much fun to watch them play in the water together! B-Man laughing as his sister splashed him with water! It was a lot of work bathing them together at this age though, maybe when B-Man is a bit older I'll try it again!

Bath time is the best time of the day, we're starting to quiet down and settle for bed, we're spending time as a family all together, we're all having fun, laughing and playing.
I have so many times during the day that I just love but bath time is such a special time for me.

Food Families

Carebear has quite the imagination and today she proved just how extensive it is!

Today as we were eating lunch she was munching on a piece of Bologna when he hear her saying, "Mommy, Mommy." I look, thinking she's talking to me and much to my surprise she has chewed her Bologna into two pieces and made one 'Mommy' and one 'baby'. She was playing with them and making them have a conversation. She played Mommy and Baby for a while before eating both pieces with a happy grin on her face. LOL

This is our Bologna family

I thought this was a cute thing to do, and it continued later in the day! I was privileged to meet The Pita Family, and later The Apple Family. 

She had all sorts of food families today and they all had long conversations about the days events and then were eaten!

What I'm Passionate About ~ Part One ~ My Kids

I have a few things that I am passionate in life and the first would be my kids! I just love them so much! I love spending each day with them, watching them learn and grow! Watching the awesome little things they do. I enjoy every aspect of parenting, even the gross and frustrating parts (dealing with those moments help to make me a more patient and loving Mother).
I have always dreamed of being a Mommy and I can't even express how happy I am to have two little amazing kids!
They make me laugh so hard each day, with their strange little ways of doing things, their HUGE smiles and their kooky sense of humour (wonder where they get that from?).
Carebear has been a happy kid since she was born. She's always been super content no matter what. At playgroups she would sit and wait till a toy came rolling by, pick it up and play with it till another kid walked by and took it. This wouldn't upset her, she'd just wait for the next toy to come along.
She is always surprising me with the new things she has learned that day and always makes me laugh out loud with the way she goofs around.
B-Man is another happy one! Always full of smiles, enough to share with everyone. He only cries when he's hungry, other than that it's all smiles from him.
He loves his big sister so much! He watches her play and laughs at all the things she does. He admires her so much! Watching the two of them interact makes my day makes it all worth while.

I am blessed to spend each day with them. I love colouring pictures with Carebear and giving B-Man big cuddles and making them both laugh! Teaching them their colours, numbers, shapes and a bit of Spanish (not as much as I'd like but I'm working on it). Watching the light bulb go on over their heads when they figure out something new!

The funny part about being a Mom is how much I really didn't know before becoming one!

There's a quote I love, "I was a really good Mom before I had kids," I love that because it's so true! I had a lot of ideas of what being a Mom would be like, but it wasn't until I first held Carebear in my arms that I realized I really didn't know anything.

I call Carebear my "Trial Child" since we've gotten the chance to try things out with her and now know what we like and don't like so we can do that with B-Man. LOL poor kid.

I don't do things like "others" do, but I feel I have two, well behaved, cute, smart, funny, loving children so I guess I must be doing something right :)

I can't imagine my life without my children! They are my everything and I love them so much!
