Family Day

We all had yesterday off for President's day and were able to enjoy a great day together.  We took the kids bowling, played games and took advantage of some extra snuggle time!

Tinkertoys

The boys love building with their tinkertoys and I love to watch their imaginations hard at work as they build- there is so much concentration at times.

And sometimes Katelyn even joins in the fun!

Sleep

Sleep.....no matter how you get it, we all need it! 

Some kids sleep with a stuffed animal, not Jackson he sleeps with his Spiderman vehicles. 

Katelyn fell asleep drinking her bottle and still managed to keep the holding onto her bottle.

Valentine's Day

This year Valentine's Day brought homemade valentines boxes, homemade valentines, school parties and one adorable little sister!

I was able to attend Hayden's valentine's party at preschool.  The kids had so much fun passing out their valentines and then enjoying an entire buffet of junk food (and a veggie tray!)  Look at that plate!

What says "Happy Valentine's Day" more than baseball (at least to my little baseball fan!) Hayden had by far the most masculine valentine's box in the class!

Oh the Things They Will Say

I love to listen to the kids talk, I love their innocense and honesty.

Hayden: "I don't want to go to heaven"
Jackson:  "Cuz you don't like to fly, right Bubba"

Jackson "Bubba is wearing my pajama"
Mom "Can't you just let him wear them for tonight?"
Jackson "No he will pee in them!"
Mom "Ok, tell you what if he pees in them he will get in trouble"
Jackson "Yeah and he will have to stay in his room for the rest of his life, right Mom"
Hayden "Man that is a long time!"

Hayden "Mom, is my hair a wreck?"
Mom: "No, it looks good"
Hayden "That's cuz I didn't sleep in today!"

Under Control?

So it's my first evening home by myself due to Jerry's new job. I felt pretty good- everyone got baths, we played games, dishes done, load of laundry done and everyone is now is bed. I walk out of the bedrooms to relax thinking I have it all under control only to see this

This is NOT allowed and he knows it. He definately pushes it when Jerry is not here. Although I have to say I love his company now that the kids are asleep. He offers me security (and the need to buy stock in lint brushes!!!)

Living in a Boys World

Jackson decided to help Katelyn out by giving her as many cars as she could hold. Funny thing is she actually really likes the cars!
