Silas has the best forehead. I found that out when I put this almost-too-small-hat on him before a walk. Just look at those scrunchy wrinkles :)
One night away from kids (besides Silas) + 4 girlfriends + lots of chocolate = 1 sweet time :) Thanks mom and dad for letting us stay at the cabin. We had a blast!
While Sam learned how to swim in the pool below, Gretta practiced her balance beam skills in the balcony above. The both slept like logs that night. Woo hoo :)
Got our pizza ready for the oven...
Set the timer for 30 minutes...
Ate the rest of the cheese &....
Ta Da! Happy Valentine's Day!
Here we are at Jody's house. Sammy & Gretta are having a blast with Anna!
Silas is having a good time too, kicking those monkey feet around :)
Si's last bath in the little tub...sniff sniff! He just seemed to be too big & kicked out most of the water anyway...Grets and Sam love having him in the big tub. Sam's first welcome to Si was a cup of water over his head...let the fun times begin!!
Ninja Sam attempting the splits in jeans...
And Gretta in her home-made princess (80's?!) outfit. She asked me, "mommy, does daddy have a tool to keep my headband on my head?"
Some of Gretta's latest art...wow, it is so cool to see her draw people, letters and shapes!!
GG taught her how to draw kites, so we see them on almost all of her pictures lately...
And finally...a gummy grin from Si, with love.
Three reasons why I need to stick to blogging when the kids are sleeping:
4:10 Sammy comes in the living room with a mouth full of I wasn't sure what. I asked him to open his mouth, and sure enough, he got the banana from the trash that I threw out around lunch time because it was very brown on the inside but the peel was yellow. Gross.
4:14 Gretta yells from Silas' room after #1 above happened, "mommy, come and see what sammy is doing with markers!!" My stomach sunk. Sammy colored with black marker on the hard wood. Yes I took pictures. Maybe I will post them next time.
4:21 Gretta yells from the kitchen minutes after #2 above happened, "mommy, come and see what sammy is opening in the kitchen!!" Of course he found those, the presents I just finished wrapping for their cousins. I shouldn't have been surprised!
