Our {Wild & Crazy} Days

Good Morning!

A typical morning . . . Austin hanging out with Dade (creepy eyes!) and the girls dressing their dolls.

Also, pretty typical for our house is Austin joining in the doll play. Such a good brother.

Snow!

Snow! Snow! Snow! Snow! Snow!

I have mixed feelings about this.

I don't like to be cold. But my kids love the snow.

Gale Center

Austin needed to learn about some city history to pass something off for scouts so we headed to the Gale Center. As always they had lots of fun!

On your mark, get set . . .

GO!

Pillow case races, wrestling, and chases - perfect for a dark Autumn evening.

Sophie - 4 months old

Sophie had her 4 month check up this week.

She was 16.88 lbs - 95th %tile and

26.4 inches long - 98th %tile

I'm in trouble

Don't let these adorable girls fool you - they are TOTALLY KICKING MY BUTT these days.

How to drive Mom insane in 10 minutes or less:

Step 1 - Dump out train set

Step 2 - Pull all the winter stuff out of boxes

(what is mom thinking leaving them in reach anyways?)

Step 3 - Run away up the stairs, giggling like mad,

pull all the cushions off upstairs couches and

throw them down the stairs.
Step 4 - Run screaming to the bedroom to hide when she comes storming up after us.

Step 5 - While in the bedroom throw and kick big brother's legos around.

Step 6- Maybe pull some books off the shelves.

Step 7 - Once herded downstairs pretend to sit quietly eating snack.

Step 8 - Jump up from snack every few seconds or so and start kicking train set, and everything else scattered on the floor, around the room.
Step 9 - REPEAT REPEAT REPEAT

When Mom stands bewildered in the middle of the room, staring heavenward with arms raised and yells "Will it never end?" your quest has been successful.
