"The baby is hungry!"

We took yearly family photos this week.
Here is a sneak peak of the out takes.

So actually, we're getting a bit better at this and even our out takes aren't all bad.
But Aaron is less huggy than the rest.

And he is very ticklish still!

"Braid my hair mommy!"
Abigail's first braid.

Oil change time.

To the big park for photos and fun

As part of Alexander's birthday present from grandparents
they got to:
Spring!

Swing!

Spin!

Splash!

And Slurp!

We decided with our rare extra day off we should take
advantage of it for a birthday outing while we had time.

We've been doing more language learning games with our kids.
This is the
What am I?
Animal Game
Answer: Baby Walrus

Also, our kids finished watching available episodes of I Love Lucy,
so they decided to put on their own new show for us.

They wrote a complete script with multiple plots
and here is the set.
Alexander played Little Ricky.

Never a dull moment around here for sure. :)

A friend brought us duck eggs that were really good

Funny things happen here during our nightly family readings

Lunch playtime

Didn't know you liked hugging so much Aaron
"Well I do when it is a contest!"

Reading the Hobbit by salt lamp light is fun

Science Experiment

Freezing and shrinking a balloon

Silly Selfies

Really must be growing

The boys caught a toad this past week

We kept him in the bathtub for the afternoon

They named him Peter I

Proving mommy is not scared of the toad

Actually, held him more than any kid.
Andrew wants a toad when he grows up and
he wants to name him Peter II.

Getting ready for Alexander's birthday.
This week we stamped wrapping paper.
