Almost St. Patrick's Day...

OK.. a little behind.. I'll try to get it in order...
Monday morning - Anna's back to work at Nanny's house

hard work being so messy

Wednesday was Poppy's 60th Birthday

...where Nanny let the kids do

a) stuff I would never let them do

and

b) stuff she would never let us do

????

then a random skip to library pictures

???

"Luke - color the horsey's head"

close - but no banana

....aaaaand back to Poppy's Birthday.....

Then we played outside some more

Luke loves the swing

happy girl

Anna works the slide

and Luke works the slide

then Luke needs to relax a little while with his thumb up his nose

tub boy

clean boy

there is nothing better than two kids in a box

until the sharing is over -

and they fight for the box

it is FINALLY getting nice out!!!!!

if only for the weekend..

we'll take whatever nice weather we can get!!!
I'm a little behind... so I'll do my best to catch up -

and catch up in order...

Anna wasn't feeling well - so I didn't take many pictures of her last week..

so there are a bunch of the boy :)

nanny let boy nap in his hi-chair

this was a super cute moment...
and Fred was supervising the whole thing..
when the picture was done.. Anna bolted, and Luke started to play with Fred.
he took his tail and was tickling his own face with it - super cute? right?
well...in the time it took Dan to face the camera at him
and snap a picture.. Luke bit Fred (didn't see that one coming)
and Fred became a blur...

This weekend, Anna opted for 4 pony-tails
whatever lola wants, lola gets

Luke had his first ride in the white truck..

we found out Luke has terrible no-car-seat-manners

Took a LOT of holding on to him...

Boy's first ride on the tractor

kids had Dan over for dinner

and then the walk...

started off a little rocky

but soon enough, everyone was happy

Luke was out of the wagon for about a minute before he fell in the mud

this is where Anna decided to sprint

and in a second... she was gone

Luke isn't much of a sprinter

he knows a good nap opportunity when he sees one

and Anna will kick Luke out of his spot every chance she gets

but we share in the end

as soon as we got back to the house -

Luke was in bed.. and girl got us all to herself for lunch

she has learned how to pose

'Mommy, one hand on my hip' she's hot stuff

these were the feet/pants post-walk

Fred accidentally spent the night outside on Saturday night

he's still sleeping (and girl put a blankie on him)

and back to work on Monday

...just a quickie...

after a long, drawn out, junkie weekend

at least we had a fun Friday night

girlie can't sit on my lap without

boy getting in on a little piece of the action

this was the best part of the whole weekend

lets hope the week brings more fun!
