Since I didn’t post this on Valentine’s Day, I figured I would send this picture your way. John made us this stand for Henry’s 4 month photo shoot. It turned out adorable! I can’t wait to see all of the other things we will be doing with it. It will be a farmer’s market stand,…
You and Me Go Fishing in the Living Room….
I can only assume that your kids entertain you as much as mine entertain me. The other day, I was watching as they climbed up on the couch and started fishing. Charlie had Maggie’s fishing pole. All of a sudden, he starts cheering, fishy, fishy. I said, oh, you caught a fish! How exciting. …
Nail Painting Fun
Maggie has been begging me to let her paint her nails ever since her pedicure months ago wore off. I am so tired of saying later, or not today, but every time she reminded me, we just couldn’t do it then, mostly because Charlie had been sick or I was sick. Finally, while Charlie had…
A Very Important Phone Call
I just about died of cuteness when I looked over and saw this the other day. Charlie was having a very important conversation on the phone with Grandpa. It was just adorable. Seriously, and of course, I am in no way biased at all.
Sneak Peak of Maggie’s 4th Birthday Party
I’m super excited to finish the post with all of the decorations, food, fun and everything else from Maggie’s 4th birthday party. While spending the day before the party in the hospital added a whole new level of stress, the party turned out amazing. For now, here is a sneak peak of her Barbie cake…
Doc McMaggie
I love when I catch the kids doing something adorable. I love it even more when the camera doesn’t stop them from it. I happen to like Doc McStuffins, so watching Maggie give Charlie’s new toy tractor a checkup was the cutest thing. Are your kids big Doc McStuffins fans? Do they love to…
Our day at A Maze’n Farmyard
So we woke up this morning and I asked Maggie what she wanted to do. Go to the community center and play in the water and other stuff, go to the beach, or go to feed the animals. She went back and forth a few times, and choose the feed the animals option. Not a…
My first garden is a success
After taking the kids to the Farmer’s Market a few times a week over the last few years, I realized that we needed to have our own garden. The kids are constantly asking for snacks, even as they are eating their meal. I figured that if we grew our own food that I would never…
Do you want to build a snowman?
In our house, as well as pretty much every other one in the world, the Frozen soundtrack is a constant….and that is without the music and just our little cuties singing away. Recently, the kids have repurposed my 8 pound medicine balls. They stack them and create a snowman using other random things she finds…
A moment in time
We went fishing last weekend. I turned my head to see this beautiful sight. This might be one of the sweetest pictures ever!
Garage sales rock!
I know I post a few things each summer that I find at garage sales and think are incredibly awesome. I’m not sure why, but when I find a great deal on something, I kind of feel like I have won the lottery. Friday was one of those days for me. I stopped at a…
Charlie’s first fish
We had a lot of fun over the weekend. We actually got out and did some fishing in the gorgeous weather. To top it off, Charlie caught his first fish right off of the dock at the cabin. He mostly reeled it up by himself. He was so excited his hands were shaking a little…
My little sweeties cuddling together
I love these two so much. There are times I will see them hugging and Maggie will tell me, “Charlie can’t stop hugging me.” It cracks me up, it is so adorable. Last night, I turned on Maggie’s show for her while I put Charlie to bed. I turned around to get Charlie and this…
Planting apple trees for my mom and dad
If you read this post, then you know that yesterday was a very important, difficult day for me. I’ve struggled each year to find a special way to remember them, one that is my way. This year, I went to the garden center intending to pick up a lavender plant for a post picture I…
Dressing up in style
While at OshKosh B’gosh last week, Charlie was having some fun dressing up. At one point, he decided he wanted the necklaces off. I counted….18 necklaces on him. He’s so cute.
Like Father, Like Son
This boy is just too stinking adorable! A few weeks back, he just decided that he is going to use the potty. All the time, well, mostly all the time anyways. His latest thing is to tell me to leave while he goes potty. I walked in to check on him to see this…..
A few things from our week in pictures
We had a pretty fun week. Although the temps have been in the negatives, that is nothing new these days. I won’t complain, it just requires some thought on new, different things to do with the kids. Like indoor swimming in the hot tub {with the temp turned down, don’t mind the steam, the room…
My little cuties
I just had to share a few pictures of my little cuties. I really held back, I wanted to share about a million from the last week. What antics have your kids been up to lately?
What this girl does when it is -50 outside
You may not know this about me, but I wear flip flops in winter. Since having two kids, I’ve adjusted a little. While getting in and out of the truck with one kids wasn’t a big deal, two kids in carseats meant more time outside. I had to protect my feet, so now, if it’s…
Just a little fall cabin fun
We finally had a weekend with no plans, so we headed to the cabin to hang out with grandma and grandpa for a few days. We all had a lot of fun, and a lot of laughs. Maggie helped cook breakfast with grandma. She loves to help cook and couldn’t wait to push her…
