So This Happened

The weather was amazing last week. We had really happy kids (and really happy parents!)

This one is our snuggle bug.

The boys emptied half a Costco-sized container of Johnson and Johnson into their bathtub:

We woke up to our last dusting on March 4th. It was pretty.

This one likes making and sending notes.

I cannot get over her smile. She smiles at everyone and laughs and kicks until she gets a smile returned. A little sales-lady already! Everyone loves her.

She does NOT like to be alone. She wakes up between sleep cycles once a night and screams until someone comes into her room. I kind of empathize, except I wouldn't mind if someone was literally right next door. Her doctor suggested that I leave her in bed and rub her back until she falls back asleep. (She's not hungry; she's just lonely.) That worked last night. She grabbed my arm and pinched it for 5 minutes; then she put her head down and fell back asleep. She needs a sister -- or someone else in that room! :)

A few weekends ago we splurged on filet mignon; DH made a delicious salad for dinner and cooked the beef perfectly.

This boy wanted me to take a picture of his tower. He was very proud of it.

We took the next three for DH while he was out of town giving a CLE.

I see so much of the Eldest in this baby. They have similar baby photos.

A Weight Watchers specialty -- delicious!

The dinosaur obsession continues:

The one thing Daylight Savings Time has done is make my kids sleep in "longer." So, there is less of this going on:

Outing with Mom.

Sweet Pea was so intrigued by the reversible camera.

The boys ask to watch this movie every single day. If you can identify it from this image, I will buy you a bottle of wine.

Everyone compliments her on her beautiful, blue eyes.

One day I realized my eldest was signing in German. After a few questions, we discovered the song, which most have probably heard in French. Here is the German version:

Bruder Jakob, Bruder Jakob

Schläfst du noch?

Hörst du nicht die Glocke

Bim bam bum, bim bam bum.

Our first dentist trip with a two-year-old was as amazing as you might expect. The one consolation for said child was the orange tooth brush he received. He's been telling everyone that he has an "owange toothbrush" and, "Owange is my favorite."

Baby was thrilled when she tasted her first bite of fried chicken.

She ate almost half a breast.

Clearly, she belongs in our family.

"Boys, Daddy's going to have to work a whole lot for a few months. But when he's done, he's going to take a week off and take you on a vacation to wherever you want to go. Where would you like to go?"

"I want to go on a vacation to the desert! The one with the camels!" -The Firstborn

(Aim high, I say! And yes, we often refer to ourselves in the third person.)
