Eureka!

Bella's at that adorable age where it's hard not to just put some whipped cream on her head & eat her up for dessert! I think God made them soooooooo cute at this age because they are so wiggly, squirmy, into everything, hurt themselves 100 times a day & basically wear out their mother. It's the age where you'd ship them off for a few months to a baby boot camp if they weren't so cute. Luckily, I remembered a good trick today that I used with the boys. An all baby-friendly kitchen drawer. It's like heaven for an 11 month old! She can pull ziploc bags out of the box at lightning speed, chew on a celery brush & bang the floor to her heart's content with a rubber spatula. It gives me a few minutes to get dishes done without a baby hanging on my leg looking up at me with eyes like the kitty in Shrek pleading for attention. Eureka!

Be true to your school

It was our local school's carnival & fundraiser last night. We all had so much fun!
Bella enjoyed munching on the ends of the boys' straws :) Also, she is starting to stand up on her own, and she practiced alot at the park because the grass provided a nice bum cushion when she fell!


Sam got his face painted by a 3rd grader! When she yelled "next" I looked at her like, "really- you're the face painter?" I guess it's all for charity! She was so cute!

Sam loved his 3rd grade version of Batman!

Mack chose a tiger! Grrrrrr!


Noah waited for over an hour to be able to climb the wall & they almost closed it up right in front of him. I noticed he was getting teary eyed, so I was very happy when they stayed open longer. Phewww! He was so into it! He also was the first 2nd grader to finish their "jog-a-thon" earlier that day. He has Mommy's running genes :) Yeah! I just hope he keeps it up better than I have. Overall it was a fun night of snow cones, processed meat, bouncing your brains, & spending money for a good cause.
