Matilda took place in her very first nativity play in December. She was a "carol singer." (Great, because her costume was normal clothes plus scarf and gloves!) Here are some grainy photos of her debut:
It snowed here last week, and schools have been closed for the past 2 days (YAY! Peter said I was more excited than Matilda... HE WAS RIGHT!) This is going to give everyone who lives anywhere where it ACTUALLY SNOWS a good laugh, but we had to take the kids out for the obligatory snow photos:
Philip throwing snowballs:
And just looking cute:
Matilda looks like she's having a good time:
But really, she wasn't that crazy about the snow...This is what she looked like most of the time:
Recent Matilda-ism:
While sitting on the table:
Matilda: "Look, I have two spoons!"
Peter: "Yes, and Philip has two spoons too."
Matilda: "Yes! Two spoons and two spoons make...Four spoons! See daddy, I answered your question before you asked it!"
Peter: .....
(Me thinks we're getting a bit predictable around here!)
She's very difficult to photograph now though... She just gets this huge, fake smile plastered on her face every time I whip the camera out. And then keeps running around to see her photo on the screen. Silly girl!
Philip-isms:
Well, Philip doesn't really have funny conversations per se. But he makes us laugh all the time... Every day is a hoot when he's around! He's becoming such a little clown... And loves making people laugh. His jokes include random renaming of objects and persons:
Philip, holding his penguin
Me: Philip, what's that?
Philip: It's a giraffe! *giggle giggle giggle*
Conversations with his genitals:
Philip, lying on the changing matt without a nappy, legs splayed open:
"Hello Mummy! My name is willy... What's your name? (After I put a nappy on:) Oh! I'm hiding! Bye bye!
And impersonations of famous tv characters. Here he is being the Cookie Monster:
(Admitedly a slightly half hearted attempt because I pleaded with him to do it on camera... When he is the one starting it the performance is much superior!)
Bed head Philip (just woken up:)
And some more video cuteness:
That "butt five" cracks me up (oh nooo... she didn't really say that?!)
I love this kid!
