March 2012

Cute Frankie all over in my business while I get the house read to sell.

 He loves balls and that webble wobble thing.

He'll throw it and chase it all over the house.

Hiding under Cole's desk.

I love sleeping photos

He LOVES to just lay on his tummy with his hands tucked under him while he moves his bum up and down in a inappropriate manner. :) 

 He does this often and seems to easily fall asleep to that rocking motion.  :)

Frankie fell asleep on Cole's mattress (on the floor) while I was blow drying my hair.

I have lots of pictures of him asleep like this around the house...on the carpet, wood floor etc...  

He's playing one minute and out the next.

Nana taking him on his favorite ride.

So exciting!

Kevin has this awesome co-worker Wendy, that just spoils my kids every holiday with the cutest personalized gifts and they just LOVE it!

It is so thoughtful of her!!

Here is her St. Patricks Day Goodies...

We all got a kick out of the mustaches...

Cole wore his to school.

No pic of Sadie wearing hers.

I love these of Frankie.  

He didn't like wearing his much.

He'd rather eat it.

Oh the things she says...

If you know me well, you know how much I love to cuddle and kiss on my little ones.  I often remind myself to stop what I'm doing and love on my children just to take it in because I know it won't last forever.  My favorite thing is to ask MaryJane  "Will you please stay two?"  and she loves to reply with a giggly open mouthed "No!".  I'm so afraid that I will terribly miss these early years.

Sadie has been so patient, caring and sweet to me this pregnancy.  On most days, when I have gotten up at 6:30 for the gym, I am worn out by 1:00.  Without any fuss, during MaryJane's nap, Sadie allows me to take a little nap on the couch while she quietly colors, plays or watches Tom and Jerry.  

Bless her heart.  She must know how much I live for these naps!  

Today during rest time,  my heart was filled with so much gratitude for Sadie's easy going nature that I scooped her up, kissed her all over and asked her if she knew how much mommy loved her.

And her response, "Not very much because your kids are such a pain in the butt."

Where did she hear that?  

Hmm.  

She went on to tell me that because of my "big fat belly" it makes it hard for me to pick up after my kids.  I better stop complaining.  6 more weeks.  My poor family.

Sadie got a major tickle torture for that response.  I've been laughing ever since.   

In good hands

This may look silly seeing my Son pushing a baby doll stroller.  But it gets even more comical when you hear the story.  Over Labor Day weekend I was out running some errands.  Kevin was at home with the three kids and had to drop something off, by wheel barrel to a friend down the street and around the corner.  When I had called to check in, he was in the process of completing his errand. And the conversation went something like this:

A: Hey!  How's it going?

K: Fine!  Were are just headed to drop this box off at Phil's

A: With the 3 kids!!

K: That's right!

A: Where is the baby?

K: Cole is pushing her in the doll stroller.

A: The DOLL STROLLER! WHICH ONE? (we have a couple)

K: The jogger looking one.

A: WHAT IF SHE FALLS OUT!?!

K: Don't worry I got that covered. I just ducked tape the buckle so it won't loosen. (well thought out) I'm making sure Cole's is walking real slow. 

A: OH! HOW EMBARRASSING!!!  I don't think that would be too comfortable for her! (again) How embarrassing! 

K: Whatever!  She is loving it!!  Hasn't made a peep!  The kids are taking turns pushing her! 

Leave it to Kevin to do a task in such a oddly manner.   None the less, the task is complete.

So since the event (that I so sadly missed out on) I had to do a little reenactment.  And every time I would put her in the stroller, she would get a great big smile on her face and instantly kick her legs!  Having flash backs of the joy ride!
