Luau!

We had a luau at the kids' school tonight. Everything looked so cute - darling decorations that my few pictures don't do justice! Lots of fun things to do!

A few pictures to remember the night!

And for a trip down memory lane - last year this event was 50's. Look how much everyone's grown in a year! Stop please! :(

Catching up and Play-doh!

When I was downloading pictures for all these posts, I came across these of some fun play-doh playing!! I'd forgotten I took them! See fun babysitter post below to see the source of the playdoh!

Open House

The week before Spring Break we had Open House at Jack & Maddie's school! Lots of fun things to see! When we're going somewhere like this and I have my camera ready, I try to take advantage of everyone being all ready at once. But it's usually at night, so where do we always end up - the fireplace!! I really am going to work on that!





Me with each of my babies! (Daddy's going to work on his centering!)




Now no mommy!



Jack's character, Billy Bob Joe Fred Jr. (Ah to be 8!). He wrote a really fun story about BBJFJ!


Showing Dad some work!


Making sure we saw everything on the list - Walk a Day in My Shoes!

And of course - the cookie!!

Fun Babysitter!!

When I took Madeline and Jack to see the Jonas Brothers Movie, Uncle came over to watch Claire. He showed up with a fun new playdoh set and M&M's!! Does it get any better than that for a 2 year old? And yes, she was still up when we got home!!!
