Reading Time

I had seen this idea of rain gutter for bookshelves all around the blog world. I thought "really, rain gutters?" But guess what, it works and they are awesome!Anna refers to this as the "Library"
We also put Luke's big boy bed up. Bummer is he can't sleep in it cause Livie is still sleeping in the crib. I'm running out of excuses as to why he can't sleep in his room. First it was because the bed wasn't made, then it was because his blankets needed to be washed, then it was cause he was coughing to much and would wake up Livie and well now I just don't know what I'm going to tell him tomorrow night.

Bed time

If only I hadn't been preoccupied with other things and put Livie to bed at 8pm this never would have happened. I should have know better when she was much too quiet.
8:20pmI didn't get a good picture but it's all over her lips.
And YES, that's a permanent marker. A perfectly good pair of jammies, ruined! Good things don't happen after 8!

Cereal Love

We are a family who loves cereal. So when it went on sale and I had coupons, I sent Chris out to do my dirty work. I only had him buy 12 boxes but when he came home he said "maybe I should have bought more."
$1.47 each. Barganza!

Little Man Party

It's only fitting that I would have a "Little Man" Party for my Little Man. Mom and I hosted a combined family party for Luke and Andrew. I love these mustache lollipops. So cute!Pizza, salad and lot's of dessert. I always love when I buy something like this polka dot fabric from Ikea and use it over and over and over. Makes the purchase so worth it.Mom and I made pizza and Lupe made salad. Thanks to Brittany for the pizza recipes. They were so good and easy to make. My new FAV thing, Hot Chocolate on a Stick. Thanks blogger somewhere who posted this. Get it "milk mustache?" I think I'm so cleaver!Worst picture EVER! It came out so blurry.Of course the birthday boys.Hit gift of the night, inflatable jumbo ball. Get in and get rolled and tossed and spun. Hope my kids don't get brain damage from it.
There you have it!

Luke's Year

Well another year has passed and Luke turned four. It's has been a big year for him. He's finally mastered potty training. He insists on wearing his underwear backwards cause he says he likes to the big picture in front. Also a good thing he finally learned to pee in the toilet cause his diapers were starting to sag with all the pee they were being filled with. Case in point with this picture. He's just walking around with his diaper hanging out.He started preschool. Likes the toys but not always writing his name. Thanks to Miss Cindy he is getting much better and can make the L and the U.Luke can't get enough soda. He'd let me hook him up to IV soda drip if it was possible. He also only wants to eat chicken nuggets and apples. On occasion I can get him to eat some pizza. Let's hope he grows out of this phase!He is a little man of many faces.Above all he has awesome hair!

FOUR

He's four! He's four! Really? I just can't believe it!Time is going by so fast. It sounds cliche but when I think about how quickly Anna, Luke and Livie are growing up it just reminds me to slow down and not worry so much about the laundry and the dishes and the cleaning but just enjoy my babies! All Luke wanted this year was to go to Chuck-E-Cheese's (a.k.a. The Rat's House) for his birthday, so we let him invite a couple of friends for pizza and games.Luke and EllaLuke kill'in it at air hockey! Playing with his friend Tavian.So happy every time he scored.Chris and Andrew in a shoot off.
Of course we can't have a party without Anna bringing along a couple of friends.

Happiness...

Yesterday my friend P dropped of a Ho-Ho, Ding Dong, chocolate decadent sort of cake thing. I felt special. I waited until today to eat it because I had already had ice cream last night. That is will power! So today I took a bite and smiled. Pure happiness to indulge in a chocolate Ho-Ho, Ding Dong sort of cake thing. I guess if I'm coming back to the blogging world after a month of no posts it should be about chocolate and things that make me happy!
