what is it about March?!?!

well - thank goodness March is nearly over!
here - we see how nicely Daddy takes a picture a picture of Anna giving Fred cat treats -
while Luke snacks on a few as well

big boy snacker at Nanny's house
nice pink bib

if you're ever searching for girl... this is where you look
she won't stay in there very long - and will let you know she's ready to come out by screaming
"SOMEBODY HELP ME"

playtime -a split second before Luke got a hoof to the back of the head


Luke's favorite toy to play in

there is always SOMEONE in the dump truck



Girl woke up VERY happy on Sunday morning
"THE PUDDLE IS BACK!"
out of all of them - this is her favorite puddle




boy has been talking up a storm lately..

and this is the excitement that surrounds EVERYTHING
today's happy: raspberries

the hammock, the eggs and the box

seems last year - there was a little bit of terror surrounding the hammock
she likes it this year


this picture is for scale
there are all these pictures of the boy - but now you can see how long he is...literally, half the size of me (and making a very stern face)


got a handful of freak eggs the other day


Boy concentrating


girl snuggling
she makes sure Fred it taken care of every night

this is the first face the girl makes for me every morning

cute boy on the swing


we were taking a ride in the farm truck -
and Luke was sporting man-arm around the seat


the ALWAYS EXCITING diaper delivery
I don't know where girl was -but boy was enjoying every solo moment in the box


the other day at dinner-
girl broke the antenna off of the radio
claimed it was so she could 'play her violin'
whatever
and this is what I deal with during a ride in the car
and not to be outdone

a few videos I've been putting off putting on

Nothing can make Luke dance like
WOW WOW WUBBZIE
one of the most agonizing shows in the whole world..
but he loves it

Anna has mastered giving the 'rock on' horns

boy takes big-boy-bites of apples now

Girl is honing in on her singing skills

what a weekend!

had a nutty weekend...
where Luke learned how to undress himself in his crib
whoo hoo!
Boy loves sammiches!
and girl loves sunglasses!
the kids, Stacey & I went shopping - and Anna was sure to wear the most mature sunglasses she could get her mitts on Girl & I had a little snuggling time
While Luke climbed Mt. Daddy to find all the goodies we have hidden on the back of the couch you can tell the exact moment we bought Yo Gabba Gabba sweatshirts-
because EVERY picture after buying them- you will see them
Luke cried so hard when we took his off to put pj's on -
so we put it back on OVER the jammies
could have been the perfect picture of the girl being cute in the front yard...
but she stuck out her tongue and bolted
Luke didn't know where she was going -
nor could he keep up
where the wild things are
I don't think I've ever before said Luke was my calm kid -
put girl in a field -and NO ONE can keep up cute pic of mom & boy -
until girl took a spill -and we both laughed at her
Anna is getting further & further away
and Daddy goes on a rescue mission
we had a formal dinner

I love a parade!!!!

Don't let the pouts & sour faces fool you -
everyone really did have fun
but when the fun is happening - no one grabs for the camera
Boy was very pleased to see all the trucks-
and wasn't very bothered by the constant, very loud sirens
until he spotting me holding girl
for some reason - everyone needed a mommy hug this day
Girl was a little overwhelmed by all the poeple & noise -
so nanny helped out with the one treat that cures everything:
tic tacs
green of course!
Poppy was sure to make sure Anna's face was clean at all times
In this picture - you can really tell which people don't have kids -
the ones that are smiling or have empty hands
However, I must thank Rosa again for being my pack-mule & helping me lug kids to the pizzaria and stand in an outragously slow pizza line hmmm craig - Drunky McSmilesalot?

funny snacking napper

Just because I thought this boy was so funny

Lots of outside time...

Dionne pick up a new pair of boots for Dan -
and Luke was sure to give them a proper test drive
Anna was TOTALLY ready for the parade!!!
and the parade TOTALLY worked!
(pictures to come)
Took a nice walk outside yesterday
stopped mid-driveway to play in the grass
"COME SIT WITH ME LUKIE!"

'Mommy, Lukie is smushing me'
and Anna finish off the night with some fried chicken
