Something's Cooking

My play room is filled with every FisherPrice, Baby Einstein, Parents' Choice, Tonka, and Disney toy know to man, but I can't keep them out of the drawers and the frig! LOL

A Good Sport

Yes, I know I am behind on posts again, but things have been a little zaney around here! Anyway, couldn't resist posting these pics of David, the best Daddy I know, and Elsie passing the time one of these recent rainy days! Elsie decided that she wanted to paint Daddy's toes to match her toes that I had done te day before! LOL What a good sport he was....about half way through the (very messy) process, David said to me "this is going to take forever to get off," to which I calmly replied that I was comletely out of polish remover!!!! This was, of course, a lie but the look on his face was one of those priceless moments! LOL Needless to say Elsie was very proud of her work.

My Girly Girl!

This is my soon to be 4 girly girl! She loves everything girly...shoes, dresses, and of course, sunglasses and accessories! Soooo cute! When she is done with the sunglasses, she puts them up on her head like a headband cause she wants to "be like Mummy!" .....she always makes me smile....well almost always.

Family Fun

Elsie is a FISH! She takes after her water-loving, Dive Master, Swim Team Champ father and secretly has gills hiding somewhere on her body! The twins are quickly following suit! Our pool has been about 90 and we are all in it almost every day! Elsie is learning the free style stroke and the proper use of mask, fins, and snorkel so she and Daddy can go to the beach and see fish! The babies are happiest when they are underwater trying to swim like their big sis. Come on down.....the water is wonderful.

Nightly Ritual

This is our nightly ritual. Some days, I am so tired by 6pm that I convince myself that dirty sending my children to be dirty is just not that terrible! But someow, I push through that ever-present fatigue, round them up and get them in the tub! I am always glad that I did because aside from having clean babies, they LOVE the tub...well water in general. These 30 mins are some of the happiest of the day and a wonderful way to wind down. As a side note, when this is all over, I am wet enough that I look like I was in there too! I am sure that someday they will all kill me for taking this photo (especially Tripp) but I figure it is a Mummy's perogative! LOL

Babies in Boxes

What is it about babies and boxes? All the toys that being spoiled rotten has to offer and they want to play with the box that the stuff came in!!! LOL

Look How We've Grown

Last Tuesday was Elsie's Spring Production at Holy Cross Preschool! It had a "catepillar into a butterfly" theme and it was positively adorable! Elsie was the sunshine and her big solo song was "You are My Sunshine" which she sang exactly in tune and brought down the house! All the children were terrific. It is amazing what these four teachers can get 30 preschoolers to do! Can't wait for next year's play!

This was Mummy saying "smile Elsie"...she happily obliged! LOL

This was a long stretch of the play that she and a bunch of other children were not involved in....can you tell she was getting tired and bored??? Priceless! LOL

Leading the chorus!

Receiving her "diploma!" She was so excited!!!

This was her hair that we did for her big play, complete with butterfly barretts....no one even got to see it cause of her sunshine hat, but it was sure cute!
