Fx4: We’re Ready!!

Nana decided that since it’s the day after Thanksgiving, it’s time to get the Christmas decorations out. In one of the MILLIONS of boxes Nana had Mike bring down from the attic, there were Santa hats.

Fx4: Random Stuff

I have a whole bunch of random, unrelated pictures from the past week.

For some reason, the past few nights have cracked me up when I went in to check on Logan.

Zebra Pillow

Zonked

I talk a lot about Burke’s drawing skills, so I thought I’d post something Maggie did that impressed me. She’s made millions of these over the past week 🙂

Maggie's Turkey Hand

Maggie’s Speech class homework this week as to blow a cotton ball across the table with a straw. (It’s supposed to teach her to speak through her mouth rather than through her nose.) All 3 kids had a blast with it.

Speech Homework

We finally figured out that the twins should probably get out of their car seats and into booster seats. The push? I couldn’t snap the belts over their winter coats. . . otherwise, they’d probably still be in the old ones.  (Bad mommy!) I don’t think any of us realized how much more comfortable they would be in these…mostly because none of us (including the kids) really realized that they were uncomfortable in the first place.

Booster Seats!

Fx4: Hair

I just love Maggie’s hair. If only she’d let me … you know, BRUSH it. I also wish I was a bit better with that whole “doing” of hair, but I’m not. Not mine, not her’s. Maybe she’ll let me practice more as she gets older…

Luckily – Maggie lets Jessica touch her hair!

Fx4: We Are Family

At school this week, Burke and Maggie were asked to fill in a picture of a house with all the people who live there.

Maggie included the two cats. She also had one of her teachers write down “Cousin” Jessica (who is actually the nanny)…I suppose she IS at our house a lot 🙂

Burke also included both cats. And when I asked him to explain his, he said that Logan is standing on Daddy’s head…and Burke is standing on Maggie’s. Well. Okay then. (And I love that he still gives us all belly buttons!)

Fx4: Baking

The kids baked some Chocolate Chip Oatmeal cookies with Jessica (the nanny) yesterday. Jessica captured some really cute pictures…and a really funny video.

"Are they done yet?"

And the funny video of Burke trying to hug Marjorie…

Fx4: New Dining Set

For all of my efforts with Fishful Thinking, I received a very nice gift card that made it so we could purchase a new dining room set! (I love Bob’s!)

Logan seems to like it…

Last week, Marjorie got it into her head that she wanted to build a birdhouse. So we headed to A.C. Moore and found a nice (easy) kit for her and Daddy to put together.

Painting, of course, was a necessity.
