Little Drummer Boy (and Girl)!

Today I brought out this drum full of instruments and did these kids ever fill my ears with the sound of music! It was cute because after I took this picture Walter got out his "building" he had made with blocks and said he was playing the music for the building. Then he told me I had to move the scarves to his music.
Rose E (which reminds me she said "Rose E" today) is copying everything now! Especially what her big bro does! Yesterday she not only pointed to pictures in a book and asked what they where but also to letters! Then she repeated the letters back to me!!! She also has been pointing at the letters on a sign in our kitchen and saying numbers as she points to each one.
We had another house tour meeting tonight. We got a babysitter and Rose E was a completely different baby(as compared to when we left last time), not minding at all that we where gone (Walter loved it too). It was nice because I snuck in a date with my hubby beforehand (we went out to eat) we both ordered things that our kids wouldn't have eaten much of, of course! It was a strange feeling though not to have them with. My steak sandwich came out steaming and I almost signed hot to Jeff, things like that just become habit! We left our meeting again talking about going antiquing and about all the things to get done this summer. I am sure it will be here before we know it!
