Play Date!

Hattie and Noah came over to play today.  As you can see from the following pictures, everyone has lots of fun.  They all got along and played well together.  Hattie and Caroline laughed almost the whole time, while Tucker and Noah tagged along.  They ALL enjoyed watching Elmo!

Kids in the Kitchen

I can't remember what Caroline was crying about.  I think Tucker took her rain hat off of her head.




Tucker-Toodles hanging out in the kitchen while I fix dinner.  I am pretty sure he was waiting for me to drop some food. Apparently it tastes better once it has been on the floor!  It looks like he may already have something in his mouth.









Caroline in her new rain gear.  Now all we need is some rain...and pants!

















Another shot of Cay-Ray ready for rain!  It was bright and sunny today incase you were wondering!

My Valentines

These pictures were taken at school for an art project.  They were so cute, I wanted to share them!  I will try to get a bigger blog update soon.  We have been on the go and I haven't taken many pictures.  Happy Valentine's Day!

Odds & Ends

If you look closely you can see a little lipstick on Caroline's upper lip.  Lucky for me I got to her before she got too out of control!




Caroline eating her apple.  What you do not see here is her spitting out the skin once she has taken a bite.














This may be a better shot of the lipstick.











Tucker trying to help me with the laundry!  (and having so much fun doing it!)
















OK so he didn't help that much, but he sure was cute!

Good Things...

No new pictures to share on this posting.  I thought I'd try something new and list some "Good Things (as Martha would say) that are going on right now.  

1.  PMO & school start again on Monday! Yay!!  We are all very excited about this.
2.  Caroline's newest saying is "What should I do, Mom?" as she holds up her hands.  She must have seen this on TV, but it is really cute!
3. Tucker's grin.  Enough said.  It is the best!
4. Caroline is starting to say "no thank you" or "thank you" more and more.  Finally...manners!!
5. Tucker is the best eater I have ever seen.  He loves to pick his food up by himself and eat it.  No more baby here.  He will not eat anything off a spoon as I guess he thinks it is baby food!
6.  Today Hattie and Noah came over to play.  Caroline was especially excited to see them again.  It had been almost two weeks since they have played together.  Oh how they missed each other!
7. As we speak, both kids are napping.  I cannot tell you how wonderful it is to have quiet time for me.  I love it!
8.  Everyday Caroline proves yet again how much she loves her brother.  It is wonderful to watch them play and laugh together.  I am convinced that she thinks we had Tucker just so she would have someone to play with all the time.
9.  One of the best things that Chad and I have done during the break is taking turns getting up with the kids.  This means I get to "sleep in" every other day.  By sleeping in I mean I don't get out of bed until 8:30 or 9.  You probably need to be a parent to fully appreciate this.  Sleeping in is huge!
10.  I finally got a pass to the Fowler Center (gym/workout center)!  Hopefully I will have enough motivation to use it several times a week.

Birthday Boy!!!

Tucker turned 1 today!!!  So of course we had to have the messy birthday cake pictures.  Caroline truly believed that this was her birthday cake, so to avoid a meltdown on this happy day, I let her think that this was her cake.  Unfortunately I loaded the pictures backwards so you see the end result of chocolate cake first.  Scroll from the bottom up and it will make more sense.   (We have a 6 minute long video I have tried several times to post.  It is timing out and not letting me post it to youtube.  I'll try again tomorrow.)
