It’s spring break this week and all three kids are home.  It’s been a super relaxing week.  We don’t usually watch a lot of TV, but this week has been filled with cartoons and XBox.  Brandon took out the old XBox and taught Justice how to play Halo and a few more games.  It’s a brand new toy again!  While they were playing games yesterday I thought I’d break out the camera and catch some pics of them in action.  Everything started out nice with all three getting along well.

Now, one would think that it would be the two older kids to be the instigators if there were any instigators.  Not so much, here.  Our little Pipsqueak has started this new phase of “making herself known”, shall we say.  She’s been picked up, taken places, been treated like a little baby doll, been made to play when she just wanted to sit quietly, and many more things for 1 1/2 now and I think she’s starting to get tired of it.  Everyone  and everything will be peaceful and then I hear one of the older two yell, “PIPER”.  She’s got a little feisty streak in her.

I tell her to be nice and she’ll look me straight in the eye and pinch her sister.

Next, she made her way over to Justice.  Apparently she was super intrigued by Just’s ear and wanted to take a closer look.

Notice how he just sits there?  These two are two little peas from the same pod!

She gets bored with his ear and wants to cuddle with her brother now.  She LOVES cuddling with Justice.  He loves it, too.  What a good brother!

Finally, she does her crazy excited laugh-squeal thing.  She’s been doing this since she was just an itty bitty.  I’ve always wanted to catch it on camera.  I wish that you could hear what exactly she’s doing.  She gets so excited and lets out this laugh that is so infectious!  In one breath she laughs and does a kind of growl/scream thing and pushes all the air out that she can possibly stand to get out.  Every single time she does this little signature move, it ends with her red in the face and needing to gasp for her next breath.  I love this little girl!  She’s quite a stinker at times and I wouldn’t have it any other way!
