Running down the Hallway

Our bedtime routine is so different from when we had just one or two. We used to spend lots of time with Brody letting him run up and down the hallway. It was fun to do this Bo and brought back some fun memories. 

We tried to get his running on video but he was quickly distracted by his 3 brothers who were coming upstairs.  He was so excited about it! 

Coloring Toe Nails

Darby discovered a way to paint her toe nails without the use of nail polish (since we don't have any in this house). She is quite proud of her pedicure. 

More Piano Duets

Darby & Ollie were at it again, singing their most famous song. Enjoy! 

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

We all dressed up in green. I had a hard time finding green clothes for Darby but finally found green pants and a green Christmas shirt in a bag of 4T clothes. 

Then I tried to take a picture.  This is what I got.  Complete with a nerf gun. 

 

And a few silly faces. 

The leprechaun left Lucky Charms for us, turned our milk and toilet water green.  What a mischievous little guy. 

This was after the toilet was flushed a few times but you can still see the footprints. 

The Big 5!

Last week Ollie turned 5! He was so excited, but then again he is excited about most everything. 

He had donuts and chocolate milk for breakfast. 

 

Shell Mac N Cheese for lunch

Grilled Cheese & Tomato Soup for dinner

Opening Presents

Singing Happy Birthday! 

We love our Ollie so much!  He brings our family comic relief almost every second of the day. 

Chicken Pot Pie

One of my new ideas is to have the kids help me "cook" dinner. Each kid picks a meal. It's one kid per week. So far Ollie has picked grilled cheese and tomato soup and Colt picked out chicken nuggets.  Its pretty simple to assemble these  but the idea is that they will get more complicated over time. 

Brody decided he wanted chicken pot pie. 

The good news:  He was super helpful and made almost all of it himself. 

The bad news:  He is the only kid that LOVES it.  The rest we had to fight with to eat.  (My least favorite thing to battle) 

Brad and I thought it was yummy.  

Bike Gang

With all this great weather the kids have been outside almost the entire day. Last weekend Brad was able to join them. He started to show them some bike stunts. 

All the neighborhood kids wanted to be part of his bike gang.
