My Boy

Over the last couple of months my baby has become my boy. No longer content to just be, I can now find him constantly playing with his trucks, baseballs, and airplanes. He is by far the most active child I have ever had. When he is up he is moving. He has no interest what so ever in any television. He would much rather be moving around.

He loves to brush his teeth and never, ever, lets me forget when it is time. I think his special Tigger brush brought by Santa started this obsession. I love watching him grow and feel so blessed to be his mother!

Valentine's Day 2012

Our Valentine Party in Pictures

Valentine Boxes

*Please be sure to see previous posts I am catching up again!*

The girls entertained themselves one day this week making their valentine boxes. We also went and picked out their valentine cards. Except for Chiggie who has chosen to make her own this year. They got some really good ones and their party is this Friday!

Bowling Party

The kids were invited to a home school bowling party on Monday and they had a blast. We actually had not been bowling in quite a while. I was surprised how much the little ones remembered and how well they did. Chiggie even got a decent score without bumpers. Buster was there for the cake and ice cream. Once that was served he was the quietest I have seen him in a very long time.

Room Makeovers

The girls have needed major room makeovers for nearly 4 months. Last week, they finally got them. The little girls maintained the princess theme with a new wall color, curtains, posters, and accessories. I can assure you it doesn't look quite so "yellow" in person. They love the space. I got rid of quite a few of their toys that were just cluttering the space all together. Our family room doubles as a play area so some of their toys are out there too.

The big girls needed pretty much everything new. They got new beds, headboards, night stands, and bedding. The wall color is a pacific blue and we all love the room.

The room is very large and they definitely have their own space. The colors are bright and go together nicely.

Their toys are all organized and put away as well eliminating constant clutter. Next up is Buster's room. I can't wait. It's going to be so cute!

Absent

I was on such a roll with blogging lately and then I suppose life got in the way. First it was the computer. It began running incredibly slow. It took a while to finally figure it out, but after disabling a few unnecessary add ons I am pretty sure we're good now. Then a couple of the kids ended up getting decent chest colds. Some recovered quickly but Midge and Buster ended up with Bronchiolitis. They ended up needing breathing treatments and we pretty much stayed home for a week. We're all good now and I have a lot of catching up to do!
