big, happy baby

Face paint and hairspray at Art At the Park

I made the mistake one morning of telling Nina that Meecie likes frosting on crackers. Then I committed to making frosting with her after school so she could spread it on. She liked that it was pink but was disappointed that it didn't have sparkles. Wants to buy the frostin' next time.

The kids sleeping. Wanted to get a shot of the posters they picked out to decorate their room.

This morning's photoshoot: Nina in Pooh's outfit. Julian watching the news.

critters keep comin'

This was IN our van last night. Snapped the picture after I shooed it out. It hung out on the roof for quite awhile, quivering. It was a little guy.

so darn cute

Jules is so cute these days. With better head and hand control he's much less frustrated with things, cries less in the car and in the exersaucer and on his mat. This is all happening too fast.

kai's "to-do" list

Translation (can't turn the picture):
William visit 4/28/12

busy nina

I suggested she go play in the backroom when she said "This is borin'!" She said, "OK!" And this is how I found her later, playing school.

my little boys

Busy round here

Mostly busy taking care of rodent problem. Building forts with Nina (i.e. making giant messes over and over again). Swimming! Spending time with Nana and Dup. Trying to figure out which cloth diapers to buy (this again?!). Desperately trying to figure out how to find time to exercise (now would be a good time!!!). Loving every minute of my little cherubs - the book No Regrets Parenting is helping me be a mindful parent. Trying to gaze more into their eyes. Listen better. Not raise my voice.
Jules the drools. Kai fluttering around the playground at the butterfly ball. Ninsies in her fancy easter dress.
