Library!

I forgot I took these.....a couple weeks ago. Now that I have become a "reader" we visit the library quite often...the girls love this little area so we hang out there for a while then rent a video and go on our way.

Adeline is reading to Gwendolyn.....Gweny is being so quiet....well her hands are anyway!

This gets the girls attention for minutes at a time.......they love it!

Warm Fuzzy's

So I am trying to get my kids to be nice to one another withOUT me asking them or telling them too...sometimes it seams like a task that won't happen. If I caught them doing something nice to one another I would tell them and then award them with a warm fuzzy. They had to earn 20 of them and then they could choose mom or dad to got out on a date with them of their choice. Adeline choose dad to take her to Tangled. They were both really excited and it was so cute to see! Now the boys are more determined to get their 20 warm fuzzy's!

Adeline liked this scene in the movie so she choose this picture. Robert said that when the princess was singing Adeline turned to him and said, "When I get bigger I am going to sing like her." So sweet! Good job princess.....keep up the kindness!

Black Light Party

We started out the night with some PIZZA....we had our cousins Chris, Gabe, and Edmond over too!

Next we made some Gak...which glows in the black light! Elijah and Adeline where the only ones willing to put their hands in the bowl to start mixing it.

Finally everyone got in on the FUN! Adeline calls it goopy goo.

Onto the black light party! The jigglers didn't turn out so well. I should have used blue or yellow jello...didn't think of that until later! We had worms, marshmellows, and ice cubes that glowed.....

The best part was when I brought out the high lighters and we decorated eachothers faces!

The kids, Ian, Chris, Elijah, Gabe, Adeline!

Heidi and the boys went home and we finished the night off with brownies, icecream and a movie! We brought the mattresses in from the bedrooms and the kids really got a kick out of that!

(dad was putting Gweny to sleep...)

Thanks for a fun night Family! Love you lots!!

~Mom

And the Awards go to...............

Elijah for great Academics!! Good job buddy we are proud of you and your hard work!

And Ian for Academics! Good job Ian, we are proud of you smarty pants!

The boys earned a free meal at McDonalds......anytime I don't have to cook I jump on that! Keep up the good work boys!

My helper

Adeline loves being my helper so I try to give her lots of opportunities to "help" me out. We had to go grocery shopping the other day so I came up with this...... She loved it! Her own little list...all through the store she had her pen and would say... (clear her throat or smack her lips) "Ok, now we need bananas, ok now we need grapes and so on! To cute!

Out of the Mouth of my Children

Ian~ When does Elijah have Pack man(Pack meeting)again?

Ian~ We were in the car on our way to Walmart the other night and Ian stinkers....a few seconds later you hear, "Man I smell like Panda Express!"

Adeline~ "Mom, is Dr. Oz on? I would like to watch Dr. Oz"

Last Randomness in February

Gweny was posing for the camera....

then Addy had to pose too!

This is one of Gweny's new...um adventure's I guess you could call it!

She does this to the drawer where her passy is too....

This was part of our Family Home Evening Activity.....they are NEVER in the sames place HOLDING STILL at the same time so I had to capture this moment on camera!! Didn't realize Addy was pant less!! O-well.......

Fun with Darts

Gwendolyn was loving me stick darts on her face, she would just laugh and laugh. Soon Adeline wanted to get in on the fun!

Then of course mom had too.......Addy placed all the darts on my face and took the pictures! All her! Good job Addy!!

Peanut Butter Play dough

I found this great edible play dough recipe that I just love! It's smooth, not to greasy, and yummy to eat!

i cup peanut butter, 2 cups powdered sugar, and 1/2 cup honey...put it all in a bowl and mix, mix, mix! That's it!! I haven't been a big play dough fan because when my boys were little they would just throw it all over the place, so it was banned from my house! Adeline loves it and is really good with it so I might have to get some just for her!

My cute Girls

My girls looked cute this day and I wanted to capture it before....well before they didn't look so cute anymore...

Gweny wasn't in the mood....she loves to twirl her hair with her fingers..well anyone's hair for that matter! Love the passy, especially when she's teething. We aren't quite sure what to do because she doesn't want us for comfort she wants the passy! Not used to that one. She has been into biting and pulling hair lately too.She still isn' walking, she can she just won't, her knew thing is that when she sneezes and big snot goes down to her mouth she hurries and sucks it in....GROSS!! You would think by #4 you had pretty much seen it all, well Gweny is full of surprises!!

Adeline is my little she devil as of late.......the terrible, I mean terrific 3's are upon us!! Lately it's, "Can I play for like 8 more minutes?" She loves playing with her babies and barbies.....who would've thought! At least she has brothers that will play with those too, although they won't tell you that! She loves to comb her hair "straight" because it's longer that way. She always wants me to do her hair straight....I keep telling her there is no way because she has beautiful curly hair and everyone loves it! She can't wait to go to preschool next year...well the way she talks you would think she is in school right now. "At my school......My teacher......my friends at school...... She is my good helper and she is really good with her sister!

We love our girls and are so happy they are in our family!
