Nick's Big Day

When Cynthia and Ethan came over last week, she talked to Nick about school. She arranged to pick him up this morning and take him with them. He talked about it all weekend. 

"I'm going to school with CC and Ethan, but not you and Olivia and not Addy" 

When the day arrived he was all ready to go. He was so proud to be going to school and had to tell Addy goodbye before he left...about 3 times. The last time he ran and slipped on the slushy snow on the sidewalk, fell flat on his face and spilled his snack  :-(

Poor kid. Don't you hate it when the day is going so well and then something like that happens especially when it is a special day! But he made it to school and had a blast from what I hear. He came home and told me all about his morning. He played with fake food-which if you know Nick, you know that is about 2 steps away from anything Star Wars, he played with trains, made me a picture and borrowed some books. He was so excited to tell me all about his picture with cupcakes and hearts and elephants! 

Nick and the picture he made for me!

Then this evening we had a mommy/son date night, which included park, dinner, ice-cream and later playing storm troopers!

He is now tucked into bed and sound asleep. My kids have been going to bed a lot earlier lately. I can't believe I have had the extra time in the evenings to blog about our days!

Olivia's Blanky Bear

She is holding on to a lot more things these days. She really likes her bear blanket. 

Bly

 Nick's favorite character in Star Wars right now is Bly. We bought him some Clone War DVDs for Christmas and he likes to reenact the scenes. On Saturday morning Chris taped flashlights on his storm trooper helmet so he could be Bly.

 Chris even gave Nick his own shelf for "his guys"!

...my boys and their Saturday mornings!

It is always a nice little surprise to see the pictures of their Saturday "Guy Time" I hear them having fun downstairs but it is fun to have those memories documented too! 

Happy Kids

Baby Pics

See what happens when my kids go to bed early...I end up going through pictures of them and make up stuff to blog about! 

These were both taken when they were 20 days old. I don't think they look anything a like!

And this one I stumbled across and thought it was WAY too cute not to share! Oh the pictures you forget about!

Look Similar To You?

Over the Weekend

Andy's family came to town this weekend. Stephanie got him Wichita State basketball tickets to the game on Saturday and he took Chris with him! Stephanie and I went shopping during the day and the guys took the kids to the park and even took some pictures! 

First time in the stroller :-)

While Chris and Andy were at the game Stephanie and the girls hung out at our house! It was a pretty quiet night. And by quiet, I mean kids sitting on the couch glued to games on their tablets!

the only thing that happened more than the games was holding Olivia. Her brother, aunt, cousins and mommy just love to hold her!
