Chocolate Beans

Chocolate Beans are a hot topic in our house. Juneau and Nova love black beans. The first time i gave them an M&M they thought it was some type of bean, and juneau has called M&M's "Chocolate Beans" since her first encounter with them. When she first started getting interested in the potty i told her if she pooped on the potty i would give her 2 chocolate beans. She likes to sit on the potty all the time, but had not yet earned a chocolate bean until yesterday! It was kind of a fluke that she actually pooped on the potty, but she did, and she will tell you all about how she got "two chocolate beans" and she "Ate 'em" and they were "red and green".
Nova likes to sit on the potty too. peer pressure i guess, but she thinks it is hilarious to sit on the potty, so they will both go into the bathroom fully clothed and just sit on their potties. kinda funny.

Anyway, things have been a little boring the last couple of days now that the Matus' are gone and we are back down to a little family of four. we had ridiculously beautiful weather yesterday and today (in contrast to the entire week last week when it was freezing with hail).

Today we went up to the REI store to pick up our new rock climbing rope. We are such suckers, and when we saw these Nalgene sippy cups we couldn't resist getting them for the girs. They immediately loved them, as you can see.

We had gotten pretty good about actually dressing the girls, but lately have fallen back into the old diaper routine. :)

A little video of our pre-bedtime activities this evening.

This last one is a video i found from our 2 weeks in the doubletree. Nova is laughing ridiculously hard. it cracks us up every time we watch it.
