You're A Doodie Head

Drew: "Mommy, you're a doodie head."

Mommy: "Drew, why would you say that - that is not polite. Who taught you to say that?"

Drew: "Michael." (Name changed to protect the not-so-innocent)

Mommy: "Well, next time he says that, tell him you do not like being called that."

Drew: "But, I do like being called a Doodie Head."

Mommy: "Why in the world would you want to be called that? "

Drew: "'Cause that's the way I roll."

Oh , the joy of little boys! It was hard not to laugh at his last statement, but really? No matter how much we try to teach our kids to be polite, respectful, there is always a "Michael" out there teaching them to be doodie heads!!!

So, not much is going on with the Snyder clan. Spring Break is this week. I am taking off tomorrow and Friday to hang with the kids. I think Carrine is doing "college" stuff, but maybe Clara will want to hang with us a day or two!

Here is a "photo" update of the last few weeks....

SNOW DAY! Leave it to our Texas weather to provide us with snow in March! Drew was so excited! We got him up early to play in it before school. Bobby stayed home and had a snowball fight with him. They had fun!





Love this picture... :)


Drew performing for Kenna (below). She just EATS him up (and him, her). My friend Rachelle once said (long before I think I even had kids) that the biggest joy is seeing your kids play together. Although Kenna is still pretty young, that is SO true! She just lights up anytime he enters the room. And, he is so attentive and sweet to her. He has started calling her DINKY, which is really funny to me considering my Mema (who past away a few years ago) was nicknamed DINK because she was so little!



Kenna watching Drew "perform".


Kenna standing up... she gets so proud of herself! She is also walking behind things like the laundry basket (she pushes it and walks behind it in the kitchen) and Drew's toy wagon. Won't be long before she is WALKING!
(First time standing in her crib!)

She was SOOO pleased with herself!






Now that she has figured out she can stand up, she crawls over to the window in my office and looks out of the window.



Drew's Easter Egg Hunt at school. Shirt - another Barbara creation - "Chicks Dig Me". Kenna's is "Sassy Chick". And, just so you know, I have lost the battle of doing Drew's hair. He has decided he does not like it spikey (or UP, as he calls it), and he "allows" me to gel it, but promptly smashes it down. We're seriously considering shaving it off for the summer. It's a mess most of the time!




Dinnertime!




No idea.... she just randomly starts giggling. It is the funniest thing. She literally just cracks herself up and will start deep, belly laughing out of no where!


So, I had to take a picture of this... I went up into Drew's room and this is what it looked like... may not be anything that stands out immediately to you, but I knew I had not yet cleaned his room, so I called him up and asked him if he had done this... He did - he cleaned his own room! Even put the pillows up and everything! Now, animals were stuffed in the toy box and puzzles, clothes and Power Rangers jammed in drawers, but I was so impressed that my little 3 year old (this was just before his b-day) had cleaned his own room!!!! He was so proud of himself, so he, of course, had to take daddy upstairs as soon as he got home from work to show him! Love it! He'll be helping around the house in no time!

Have a HAPPY Day!
