Kids Say the Darndest Things

They also say things that make you ask yourself “where in the world did they learn that?” 

Tonight Olivia had us asking just that.  As my precious little two year old was playing with her doll, she took of his pants only to scream “son of a b***** (insert expletive) he pooped!”

What?? How could that come out of the mouth of my sweet baby girl?  AND more importantly, where did she learn that?

Spring Fever

We have a bad case of Spring Fever in our house!  I can’t believe today is the first day of spring and we had to bundle the kids up in their winter jackets, hats and mittens (or mitts as Olivia calls them) just to leave the house this morning.  It was -1 with the wind chill when we left.  By posting these pictures I am hoping Mother Nature gets the hint! 

And one more, just because i think it is funny.  Did someone say lunch just arrived?



Happy St. Patrick's Day

We celebrated St. Patrick's Day a day late this year.  Better late than never, right?

The kids were washed up after daycare, put their green clothes on and ate corned beef, carrots, and potatoes for dinner.  Notice we didn't have cabbage, that's because I don't like it so I assumed no one else would like it.  I guess I was wrong.  Next year I will have to purchase cabbage to go along with our meal.

Brrr...It's Cold Outside

It's finally beginning to look a lot like winter around here, now that it's March!

We've been enjoying the snow this year.  Olivia is having a blast playing outside.  She "gets" to help us shovel the driveway, go sledding, make snow angels and snowmen.

I have to laugh at her every time we get her ready to go outside to play.  I am surprised her arms don't stick straight out (you know like the Christmas Story) when I am done dressing her.  It makes the snow so much more enjoyable when you have a two year old who gets pure joy out of it!

Going Orange

We've been busy around here these days.  Olivia is potty training and just started swim lessons.  The babies had their spring pictures taken together with baby "kicks" (aka chicks) last weekend.  Olivia had a blast and Finn looked like he was getting ready to dine on the poor chicks.  The chicks didn't know what was coming when my kids walked in the door.

Finn is rolling everywhere these days, which makes him one happy baby.  He is becoming more and more coordinated every day.  He is getting pretty good at rolling to a toy that he wants and picking it up to play with it for a few minutes.  Pictures of all these events will come soon.

My newest project is to start making baby food for Finn.  He will be turning six months in a few weeks, can you believe it??  I sure can't.  Anyway, I wanted to be prepared for his next milestone with organic baby food.  Why not try to make it yourself.  Today we went with an orange theme.  I made carrots, squash, and sweet potatoes for him.  I sure hope he likes it.  It actually wasn't as hard/time consuming as I thought it would be.

The food:
