Omg, this was hilarious 😂 Mom had good intentions, but suddenly the girls were out of view, disappeared from the camera, bouncing around. Suddenly dad's grinch appeared on one side of the camera 😅 ... the girl's expressions, so cute ... their outfits, so pretty and fun ... I loved it all. Thank you so much dear Barton family ... I needed that ! ❤❤❤❤
I am SSsssssooooo Happy to see that you are a 'BOOK" family - LV that wall of reading behind the girls!!! And Ana's "Yes. Ma'am: (@7.55) was so sweet - shows the manners you are instilling.
Oh Alicia…you did such a good job reading tonight. The girls were certainly ready for bed😉! It’s nice to see the “other side” of the girls sometimes. Walt did a nice job too helping out.
As we know, kids' attention span at this age is very short. I remember racing home from work to read a bedtime story to my boys before they went to sleep and they sometimes said "We don't want to listen anymore Mom", they'd get distracted, slide off the couch, and be off playing with something else. At first, I felt sad, but you learn as you go with kids / what works what doesn't. Alicia, I'm sure you can attest to that.😊 My 2 sons are 35 and 37 now. I miss the ages they were. I can say today, I couldn't ask for better sons. They are thoughtful, kind, and funny. They still make me laugh, they are responsible, but they don't take life too seriously. I'm thankful they're on a healthy path in life. This what we hope and wish for our kids, right? Enjoy your beautiful daughters at this age. Time flies by so quickly. Happy holidays to the Barton family and everyone in the community. 😊
Today I have the answer. You have books books books. Look at them all!!! I cannot tell you how important it is to children to grow up in a house full of books. Your reading reminded me of times with my kids long ago. Keep it up. It pays off.
They were just not at all in the mood to read a book! 🤭Thank you, Alicia, though, for reading it to us. 🥰 Hope everyone has a happy Thanksgiving holiday weekend. 🍂🦃🍁
Alicia you are one chilled out Mummy with the patience of a saint . My daughter used to act like this after a can of coke( no names) but then she was 12 years old and the come down was always tears ! we can laugh about it now but she was quite a handful !! Kudos to you and Walt xx
Omg Alicia , beautiful little Ana is the spitting image of you. The girls are so darling and entertaining and WOW what wonderful parents they have. 😊❤😘
The girls being here there and everywhere during a story being read towards the end of the day. Yup, they’re just like every other child their age. Nothing unusual or abnormal. Thank you for sharing. Though some may not remember or understand these certain scenarios that play out in one’s day, I appreciate the video of these moments because it brings back old memories for me of raising my boys. Nothing monumental but heartwarming nonetheless ❤️
Alicia that was laugh out loud fun. I started off giggling then full on laughing. Their cute little outfits and them climing all over each other.Guin held in there a little longer than Ana but not by much. So much fun to be had. Like a champ Walt and Snowy held on to the end. I noticed Snowey getting restless and photoboming when he thought no one noticed. I admire your perseverance of reading until the end. She really is a good children's writer and your voice is perfect. Putting rambunctious toddlers to bed then mind numbing exhausting mixed with family blessings. Thank you so much!
You have such endurance. I would have been done a long time ago. Clearly they had no interest in the book. So much fun to see them “go wild” as usually they are perfect little ladies. Loved the real two year olds. They brighten my day seven days a week. Love these ladies. You and Walt are amazing parents. When the girls introduce themselves and say Walter, I melt.❤❤
Reminds me so much of trying to read a storybook to the 4 year old children in my infant classes, especially in the first days of term time. Herding cats often used to come to my mind ! I remember one particular class which had a child with challenging behaviour, so I gave him some Lego to keep him occupied during the story, but instead he took great delight in taking each piece apart and gleefully throwing each bit at the other children. Then when he ran out of Lego he took off his shoes and threw them as well. I loved him to bits though and we both had great learning experiences! I did enjoy reading poems and stories however and the children generally loved them, especially the funny ones, like “As I was going up the stair, I met a man who wasn’t there. He wasn’t there again today-Oh how I wish he’d go away!” The children would love trying to figure it out!
Alicia & Walt both of you did a great job reading and filming Snowy the Mouse. It is a very cute story with a famous mouse. I am glad your girls enjoy it. 😉 I loved how Anastasia was bringing you breakfast ! She is catching on quickly. Guinevere was fun in the make believe pool couch and beach. They both of great imaginations. They will sleep well with their Snowy the Mouse.
Thank you Alicia for talking to us all before the book reading. Anastasia and Guinevere were very busy and excited. I really enjoyed listening to the story and watching. 😊 xx
Alicia I absolutely loved your video today. I am so used to seeing them sitting in their chairs at the table that to see them doing their own thing and their expressions was so funny. They are two little live wires. I loved Ana saying 'give me this book'. They definitely directed this video. xx
Wonderful video. Girls want to listen to book but still due to their young age they can't sit peacefully. At this age it's hard to convince girl to convince them to sit peacefully & read book. But with your efforts you managed to convince them to sit sometime. It's so much fun to watch them trying to sit & read at same time they want to jump & enjoy too. It's so much fun. Thanks for sharing your happiness.
@7:54 Ana said " Yes, ma'am" ! 🥰 Like dad says to them with humor. " I feel nice here" was so cute. Gwen wants on the floor ,Ana is cooking eggs in the pan . Everyone is happy. Mom has a pleasant voice !The story is wonderful and the book colors vibrant.
This made everyone's day here at Snowy the Mouse...it was absolutely adorable!❤♥♥Thank you so much, Alicia, for sharing and reading the story again to the girls! The t-shirts look adorable on them, too! Happy Holidays to you and your family...enjoy your new Christmas tradition with Snowy the Mouse!🎄
What a cute story! I will definitely share this! I remember like it was yesterday reading book after book to my twin niece's! Thanks for sharing! Hope everyone has a wonderful day today!❤❤❤😊
I love it you guys bring me joy 😂😂😂being 58 an empty nester and my grandbaby is 12 now I really miss having the kids being curious and funny thanks guys ❤❤❤
So fun to watch. Not exactly a captive audience. You can pull out the chocolate excuse but I think its really a case of very happy and healthy 2 and a half year olds. You must have lots of energy yourself and a boatload of patience.
Love them both, both so different in many ways, Guin is going to be the reader and comedian when she is older, Ana going to be the rebel I think in a loving way❤
Alicia , this book and plushy are wonderful! I ordered 2 for my grand children ages 1 and 4. Thank you so much for this video. Liz B ( from Corning , NY)
You really do have very determined competition Alicia! In a few years they will be reading to you, but I doubt if you will be getting your own back. Hopefully, the girls will be so grateful for your very patient attention to their own stories!
Alicia and Walt, Ya'll are amazing! You did awesome in spite of all the interruptions! It was awesome, very sweet story and the girls just added their own beautiful entertainment! It was like a theater play and the girls added their own script their way. I loved it! Ya'll were wonderful and the book reading and girls were awesome! These are very special moments of raising two beautiful girls! Love you guys! ❤
Good Morning Barton Family AlicIa love The way you read the Story with all the Emotions 🐁great Book 👍 The girls sure got alot of ( Sweet ) energy lol 😂 thanks for sharing see you Girls ❤❤ Tomorrow 👀
Alicia, you truly deserve a gold medal or an award or something for your patience and steadfast. Goodness to finish the book with all its twists and turns with your two little angels. God bless you and them. I understand the sugar rush. Good luck. I hope you got them to bed easily. Happy Thanksgiving to all.❤
Aww it feels nice in here. That was too cute. Alicia you done an awesome job reading the book. I enjoyed the story myself. I am waiting for my only child, a grown adult to make me a grandma when he is ready for children. I miss those days of storytime and so many other things . Children grow up so fast. Enjoy their childhood ( I know you do) and Anna and Guin will have fond memories of growing up. Hope your Thanksgiving was a great one. God bless
I think being lefthanded helps doing things backwards and upside down😆 I've been doing it since day one so they can both see the book while I read. Some words trip me up occasionally, but I've read a lot of the stories multiple times so I know a lot of them pretty much by heart😅💖💖
@aliciabarton3497 - My beloved late husband learned to read upside down in high school, but he did it to be a wise guy to a very exacting English teacher who tasked the class with memorizing bits of Shakepeare. The student would stand in front of her and recite the lines while she would follow along in her book, which was open on her desk. I don't believe he ever did memorize any Shakespeare, but he did perfect reading upside down. I wish he were here so that we could be laughing together at 'Tonight's Amusing Antics' brought to us by Anastasia and Guinevere Barton.😂😂💜🩷
I enjoy watching the girls out and about. I enjoy them all the time at.the table, but seeing them doing the activities is a special treat. Attention like you described in the beginning of the video was lacking a little Lol but that's ok. Still enjoyed watching them do their "couch gymnastics" Thank you for sharing and Happy Thanksgiving to your beautiful family. 🦃❤
At 75, I had forgotten how busy toddlers are! Have a wonderful holiday season! 🤣🥰🎁
Too funny seeing Snowy peeking in the camera...good job Walt 😂
How tired indeed you must be, being such an amazing Mommy to 2 beautiful toddlers!! Whew! 😂.. 🦃🩷💜🎅🏼
You forget how young they are. It was so fun to see their exuberance. Restless but they were loving it all!
Walt, Snowy’s sneak peeks in the corner were delightful!
Dada you crack me up! Loved Snowy’s appearance!
Alicia you deserve a gold medal for finishing the book.
Oh boy oh boy, one forgets how very busy those littles can be. So cute and keeping mom and dad on their toes
Total chaos at times. Very comical trying to keep them interested. Very entertaining!
You are just a great momma and Walt is love by those two little gals you see it in there eyes when he talks with them.
Omg, this was hilarious 😂
Mom had good intentions, but suddenly the girls were out of view, disappeared from the camera, bouncing around. Suddenly dad's grinch appeared on one side of the camera 😅 ... the girl's expressions, so cute ... their outfits, so pretty and fun ... I loved it all.
Thank you so much dear Barton family ... I needed that !
❤❤❤❤
What an adventure! And thank you for supporting an independent author!
How adorable!!!❤❤ sugar kicked in lol! Loved how Walt got the snowy plush involved at the end😂 Hope your Thanksgiving was full of love and blessings!!
I am SSsssssooooo Happy to see that you are a 'BOOK" family - LV that wall of reading behind the girls!!! And Ana's "Yes. Ma'am: (@7.55) was so sweet - shows the manners you are instilling.

Ana says "Ah, this feels good!" when she lands in her cushion cave. LOVE IT
This was fun to watch - typical 2 year olds wriggling and squirming while listening.
Herding cats comes to mind 😂😂😂
@roseannegrimball4970 - That's exactly the phrase that came to my mind, too. Or wiggle worms.💜🩷🐱🐱🪱🪱
This reading was a blast - what a wild ride! 🤣 Thanks for sharing, Bartons 💜🩷

Special moment like these make all the over excitement worth it ❤ I miss these moments with mine. They grow up fast. Thank you for sharing 😊🙏🏼💗
The 2 year old energy was so strong in this lol
I don’t know about you but I’m exhausted 🤣
I died laughing...."Give me this book."
Just two of the most precious and adored little girls ... all children deserve such a magical, supportive and loving home!❣
Well done MaMa I enjoyed the story.😂😂😂 The little ones have so much energy still left.💖🙏💖🙏

We are a house that loves books😅 I have more in their bedroom and our bedroom too😅♥️♥️

Alicia, you are so wonderful. Love the babies, and Anna is sooo adorable here, as is Gwen.
Oh my goodness. Those Two little girls look like mama, They have your eyes for sure.
Alicia you are one chilled out Mummy with the patience of a saint . My daughter used to act like this after a can of coke( no names) but then she was 12 years old and the come down was always tears ! we can laugh about it now but she was quite a handful !! Kudos to you and Walt xx
I love Alicia's determination to complete reading the book, with or without Ana and Gwin listening. I enjoyed the book.
Love the video-bombing, Snowy!! 🤣❄️🐁🎄🛷
Omg Alicia , beautiful little Ana is the spitting image of you. The girls are so darling and entertaining and WOW what wonderful parents they have. 😊❤😘
❤❤great reading Alicia. The stuffies of Snowy ❄️ the mouse make the story come alive.
This reminds me of when we took our granddaughter to our Library babies reading time, you end up reading to yourself 😂😂❤ magic xx

I wonder if the twins are going to sleep by the Christmas tree. Then wait to see Santa come down the chimney. Merry Christmas to the Barton family.
That was too cute😂they were not ready to hear a story 😂but you did fine😊
The girls enjoyed their Thanksgiving sweets. You were awesome reading.

This video reminded me of a book I used to read my children, “Busy People, Busy World”…. Haha…. The built-ins look great, Walt!…
Oh my gosh, you guys are lucky you are so young and have the energy and patience.
You have such endurance. I would have been done a long time ago. Clearly they had no interest in the book. So much fun to see them “go wild” as usually they are perfect little ladies.
