Little Miss Olivia

She will love me one day for this!

What little girl doesn't put their silver sparkle shoes on immediately after bath time?

I am sure that is what you notice from this picture, too.

Potty Training

Potty training isn't going very well with Finn, but how could I resist posting this picture?

Wife beaters and boxer briefs, does it get much cuter?

Kickens!

Our cats are so tolerant!  I mean really, how many cats would allow this?

Finn also calls them 'Kickens'.  We have a lot of work to do with him!

Do You Want To Build a Snowman

This snowman has been standing in our backyard for a few weeks now.  I don't think it is ever going to melt!

How many days until spring?

The Birthday Girls

In case you haven't been exposed to Frozen enough yet, brace yourself!

The theme for Olivia and Emmie's birthday party this year was Frozen. To say these two little girls were in Heaven is an understatement.

The party was complete with a Princess Elsa cake, Frozen iceberg punch, blue pretzel sticks and Pin the Nose on Olaf!

Olivia and Finn helped me bake the cake.  And by help I mean they stood nipping at my toes the whole time I was mixing.  "Are you done with the beaters yet, Mom"?

My little bakers!

The cake!

The blue punch.  The ice cream was supposed to look like snow balls.

Olivia was thrilled with the singing Anna doll that matches her singing Elsa doll.  Mom....not so much.

Olivia was nice enough to let Finn open one of her gifts.  Finn gets himself all bent out of shape when someone receives a present and he doesnt.

Momo playing with the kitty.  Don't ask me which one, I have no idea.

We were lucky Elsa didn't go up in flames while we were singing happy birthday.  There would have been some serious tears.

Our sweet babies.

Pin the Nose on Olaf

Emmie in her Elsa costume.

Finny helping Aunt Abbie spin Emmie.

And the grand finale!  I don't know how this happened, but Finn ended up in Emmie's Elsa costume.  Isn't he cute!  Future wedding pictures I think.

He wasn't thrilled.

More Presents!

Another shipment of Christmas gifts arrived yesterday.  Thanks for the cool gifts Aunt Laura and Uncle Keith.  You knew exactly what we would like.

Finn loves his new cars so much he had to sleep with them last night.  

We've played Minnie Mouse Dominos a few times, Olivia just loves it.  She's practicing so she can keep up with Gramma and Papa.

Family Museum

The kids and I visited the local Family museum last week while Emmie was in town.  They had so much fun.  Major naps were needed after!

The kids spent most of their time at the fire truck, pizza restaurant, water table and forest slide.

The boy and his trucks!

Fighting fires.  The cutest firefighters that I've ever seen.  

Later in the afternoon the kids pulled out the pool noodles to fight fires around our house.  It must have been Dad's night to cook.

Again, the boy and his trucks!

Weeeee

Driving the ladies.

Livie following in Mom's footsteps.  Do you think she will be a waitress at Pizza Hut when she grows up? Let's hope not.

Em is staying safe with her oven mitts.

Who knew this kid likes to wash dishes.  I need to put him to work at home.
