St. Pat's Day Fun!

St. Pat's Day was fun this year - it was nice it fell on a weekend.  Green icing on our toaster strudel in the morning and then a morning at the zoo!   They boys went with Dad after dinner to throw rocks in the lake.  Fun times!

Weather was awesome and we sure took advantage of it!

Topic of the week!

Andrew and I have been tackling a topic of the week. We do this why H and C are napping. Some weeks we may do a lot on a topic and some weeks, less - just depends what we find. We pick topics that he will not learn at preschool.  We look in books, on the computer and do activities we find.

Here are s a few pictures from the past few weeks - volcanoes, earthquakes, Mardi Gras, and the solar system are some of our favorites so far.  Harrison is learning a little about them too.

Next week is our body --- open to any other suggestions you have!


Growing up!

Caroline is growing up so fast before our eyes!  She is sitting up better and better every day. 

I think she has outgrown the infant bath seat already as you can see from the picture below - just look at those adorable rolls!  We may try the bathtub tonight with the boys -- wish us luck with that one!

We went out to eat this weekend and she got to use the high chair out for the first time ---- she was all SMILES!   Perhaps not the best angle of her but I had to share this picture as she was so happy to be a big girl...


Letting out some energy...

Harrison is my physical little guy so I enrolled him in a gymnastics class to help us get through the winter. He seems to love it and Caroline seems to enjoy watching him and all the kids too!




Boys will be boys!

Trucks, boxes, trains, forts, kitchen pots, pans and tools --- I continue to be amazed at how many hours my boys can play with them.  They are some creative kids!
