Table Tennis?

We actually have a ping pong table, a foosball table, a pool table, a drum set, a trampoline, and the entire radio-flyer line...and what do they play? Balloon tennis with plastic spoons as their rackets. They figured out on their own that plastic knives were not working as well. I was so proud. At least this kept them entertained for hours.

Apparently Carter is a line judge?

My girl wants to Potty all the time!

After spaghetti dinner I took Avery's clothes off at the dinner table. She assumed this was an invitation for a bath. She got really excited and took off her diaper. I was still busy cleaning up dinner until I heard her calling me frantically from the bathroom. I came in to this AND she actually peed all over the toilet seat!
Just for the record, she has very short legs. I don't know how she got up on the toilet seat. Well you can see her tree trunk legs.
Oh, and I think she's been watching too many boys peeing in the toilet...she's got the whole stance wrong. We'll work on it.

Well...He might actually be a bit of a Square

Carter called for me from the other room to show me his "triangle." He was actually on his belly but I wanted to see his face for the picture so we flipped him. I love the legs.

She's a Working Girl

Aunt Rachel likes to dress Avery up "pretty."

Easter Surprise

Our cute neighbors brought "Gloria," the neighborhood statue over to our house on Saturday dressed like the Easter Bunny. The kids had a blast picking up all the candy/toy filled eggs left for them. We love our neighbors here!!

Cul-de-sac Easter Party

For Family Night last week we had a cul-de-sac Easter Party. It was so much fun. We had an Easter Egg Hunt...
Bubbles and Barbecue..
Pinatas...
and a Confetti Egg War.

These are just the kids under age 7 in our cul-de-sac. Isn't that fun!!!

Mason's First Lost Tooth

About a month ago Mason asked me when we were going to the dentist again. I told him he had a cleaning in April. He told me that was good because he had a tooth that was moving around and he wanted the dentist to look at it. Apparently he has no confidence in me. The tooth has been loose about a month and finally came out last Thursday.
He was so excited to have the tooth fairy come and leave a dollar under his pillow. That's this picture. Then we told him the tooth fairy would take his tooth...

That's this picture. Apparently after being sent to bed he realized he did not want to part with his tooth. He came upstairs sobbing about 30 minutes later. Poor boy, and what do I do? I take a picture to document the story. Mean Mommy.

It's Like an Orange on a Toothpick

Poor Matthew, got his head caught in one of the new chairs. It's gonna take the kids a little time to get used to the ins and outs of the new furniture.

Was it wrong for me to leave him like this while I finished loading the dishwasher?

I Need New Shoes

I asked Rob to get me shoes out of the closet. I told him I wanted "something cute and strappy. You know something feminine." This is the best he came back with. Sorry about the feet...it's been a long winter.
And yes, I already know that my toes are as long as fingers so don't mention it please.

Diapers just don't work like they used to

Is anyone else having a flashback to Jr High School? You know the one where your underwear comes sneaking out the bottom of your favorite pair of jeans?

Poor Avery...she's a little young.

I think I found the Sticker Bandit

Doesn't she look so cute, though?

Just to reiterate...I still hate stickers on the table.
