wednesday 4-26

Well, it's 10 am and both my kids are down for a nap already! Just one of those days I guess....

Here are some pictures of the last week... we had some amazing weather and have really enjoyed playing outside. Caroline helped my mom and I in the garden. You'll see some pictures of her and she is wearing her "gloves"... She has some garden gloves at my mom's but not at home (until a few days ago) and so while we were out weeding she said she had to go get her "gloves"... and she did... only they were her winter mittens! Oh well, they work in the dirt just as well as anything else :)






Joe has been busy in the yard too. He rented a rotatiller the other day and dug up my soon to be vegetable garden. I know that I need to get some seeds in the ground soon. We also just bought a white picket fence to put up on the side and back of the house to keep the kids contained. It will be a project to put it in, but we're excited to have a safe place for the kids to play. Nicholas loves playing in the grass already. It didn't take him long to figure out how to pull it out either and put the the grass in his mouth.. oh boys!

Nicholas has become quite the little climber lately too... He has figured out how to get into his little chairs and this morning I caught him standing on one of Caroline's little red chairs we have in the kitchen and trying to make it rock. I would have taken pictures but I'm sure I would have gotten sent off to CPS if he had fallen, so I didn't... :) But he did figure out how to get himself in a frying pan and then in to the dishwasher... silly, silly, silly...

Saturday Morning

Good Morning ... the kids received some presents from our friend "the Easter Bunny" and they got to open them this morning. (Thank you "Easter Bunny" (you know who you are!) for all the nice things for all of us!)
The kids had fun opening their presents and playing with their new friends...






















Week of Apr. 10th





Happy day before Easter. Here are some pictures from the last week....


Nicholas is getting good at making a mess while eating. He likes getting the food all over his hands and then squishing it between his fingers. yuck!


Caroline playing with one of her hats....

Nicholas has also learned how to unroll the toilet paper in the bathroom. One night after dinner the kids were playing and I looked down the hallway and Nicholas had dragged the t.p. all the way down the hall and into Caroline's room. Later Caroline and Papa were in her bedroom and Papa decided to t.p. Caroline..




Last night we had poker night at our house. Caroline stayed up past her bedtime and helped mom play a little bit. I didn't win, but Joe took 2nd....

Sunday...

Nicholas had his first night of poker last night.. He enjoyed chewing on the chips. He is becoming our little "night owl" but the few times he has stayed up late, he has slept through the night, so I guess I really can't complain too much.















Aunt Katie is in town and has been hanging out with us a little bit. She has introduced Caroline to one of her favorite snacks : potato chips and pickles, mmmm...

Part III

Our little escape artist! Nicholas was supposed to be taking a nap, but after being in there for about 30 minutes just talking and playing I thought I better go check on him... he almost had his shirt off.. nice!















As always, Caroline loves to jump in the crib and play with Nicholas...
