Pancakes! (3/30/09)


M & K enjoyed some chocolate chip pancakes at lunch with Grandma Cassie yesterday following a good report from the dentist.

Boys! (Sun., 3/29/09)




Just some fun shots of the boys today. C was playing in the cabinets and having a ball pulling all the pots and pans out.

K was at a birthday party when I snapped a quick shot of him.

Glasses!


So we just found out my daughter needed glasses and here she is modeling them after picking them up this afternoon. At first she really didn't want them but I think she is kind of loving them now! I think she looks adorable.

Stories with Grandma (3/26/09)


The kids just love when Grandma comes over and tells bedtime stories instead of reading a book. Here they all are snuggled up and getting ready for bed.

Go HoJo




Some pics of the kids all resting after a busy weekend swimming and playing in Lancaster. The kids had their own little sofabed and were quite pleased with it.

Splishin' & Splashin'







We spent Saturday at an indoor water park in Lancaster and the kids had a blast. The baby loved the water and was just crawled right in. And M & K just played in everything and bopped from pool to pool and in and out of the whirlpool. A fun time was had by all.

Masquerade!


My mom bought the kids these wooden masks and paints today and they had a blast making them. K's was actually a monkey before he slathered it in every color paint we have. M's is a pretty princess.

Fun at the Park




It was a beautiful day here and I was able to take the boys to the playground for a little bit. They both had a great time! I think the baby really enjoyed being down and crawling around on some of the equipment.

Wearin O' the Green


St.Patrick's Day! Need I say more?

Chik-fil-A (3/16/09)


Tonight was a fundraiser for my daughter's school. They had a lady there doing balloon animals. K got a dog & M got a lady bug. They were very cute. Fun was had by all despite the look on K's face!

Carried Away (3/15/09)


The baby was loving life as he was packed up to go on a hike with daddy. He loves this carrier!

YAY Cookies!


I took the kids out to Eat & Park for breakfast today and they got free smiley face cookies with their meals. Needless to say they were pretty happy with their treat - which actually lasted until late afternoon since they were so full from breakfast.

Hair! (3/12/09)


This is a picture of my crazy long-haired baby after bath. My husband keeps trying to convince me to cut the baby's hair and I think he thought if he poofed it up and made it crazy I would get the picture. I guess it's time for a trim.

Cuties (3/11/09)




M & K are sitting on a cute little bench that was on display at our local Lowes. I loved it! It was the smallest bench I've ever seen.
"HMMM...I'm thinking bottle time!" C looks like he just came up with a great idea as we returned from our afternoon walk. The look on his face cracks me up.

Tumbling Tuesday


K had a field trip to the YMCA Gymnastics Center today. He had a ball using all of the equipment and tumbling about. This picture was taken right as he climbed out of the pit full of foam squares.

Monday - 3/9/09




The picture of M & K was taken on the front porch while they enjoyed some milder weather. The thing that really cracked me up was that M brought out all her Barbies and had her brother and 8-year-old neighbor (who is also a boy) playing High School Musical with her dolls. You'd think the boys would revolt, but they played right along and took orders very well.
I took the picture of C while he was cruising happily around the family room. I love the look on his face.

Hiking




Today my husband took the kids to a local state park to enjoy more spring-like weather.
The kids love this particular park and had a great time.

Celebrating




Tonight we headed down to Baltimore to celebrate my sister's birthday. I love this picture of M & K with my sister. The other one is me with the kids before we left home. The baby was not cooperating but I thought it was still kind of a nice picture.

Dish Duty


I think I have a picture just like this of each of my kids at this age! C has discovered the dishwasher and loves to pull out the silverware as we load and unload. Tonight's discovery was a fun bendy straw.

Wild Wednesday







Today the boys and I headed to Baltimore for a dentist appointment and had lunch with my parents. My mom got K a crazy hat for St. Patrick's Day.
C is pulling up to try and get the phone of the end table and is so pleased with himself at how quickly he can get up there now.
M is singing a song for me and bouncing on the bed - just being her normal crazy self. She's so funny!

1st Cookie (2/29/09)


C had his first baby cookie and made such a mess with it! This is a great shot of his messy face. He had cookie mush everywhere! What was even funnier is that my other two kids took forever to finish their first cookie, but C had his finished in less than five minutes!

Balloon Baby (2/27/09)


The baby was totally enthralled with a balloon my husband had gotten for me. He was having a ball just bopping it around.
