One night in January when we had black beans Eloise got rather messy. Okay any night or time we have black beans Eloise gets rather messy, but still. So Desmond being a loving big brother tried to wipe her off with a burp cloth and then a wet wipe. Unfortunately it didn’t work there was just too much of a mess. It was so cute watching him trying to clean up Eloise.

And here is Eloise after Desmond’s help to clean her up. She got a bath a minute or two later.

So Dan and I like to game. Both board games and video games. We have an Xbox360, a Wii and 3 DSs (one for me, one for Dan and one for Desmond). Plus we have computers that play games as well. Desmond and Eloise have a computer in the corner for them, though it is more Desmond’s at the moment then Eloise’s since he can control it a bit more.

Anyways, both my children are apparently following their parent’s footsteps. Eloise likes trying to get Desmond’s DS and play with it, though she can’t play any games yet she just likes playing with the case.

Desmond on the other hand is quite happy to play his games on his DS. He has about 3 he can play by himself at this point in time.

He also loves playing on the Xbox360. He looks so much like a teenager in these next two pictures, sitting on the bean bag playing the Xbox.

We got a bunch of boxes from IKEA to put toys in. Desmond and Eloise both feel they are a great place for them to sit as well. Here are some pictures of the two of them playing in the blue boxes. We have red boxes as well, but they seem to like the blue ones better for playing in.

I finally got around to finishing editing a bunch of pictures last night. So I have a bunch of pictures from both January and February to post. I figure I’ll do a couple of posts for the next few days. There are various sets of pictures so I will actually do separate posts rather then just one huge photo dump. Check my new posts to see some cute pictures.
