Zen

Once in a while there are moments of Zen.  In our house, Zen is any moment where all 4 boys are playing nicely together!

Hours of Zen playing Batman Imaginext...

Watching a herd of 6 deer in the yard...

Battling near our newly-made box/styrofoam boat...

Climbing near our newly-destroyed boat...

Feeding the babies...

Home Depot

Every month, David takes the big boys to Home Depot for their free workshop.  This month the boys made planters.  Nothing ever grew, but they enjoyed making and painting them!

10 Minute Countdown...

I was ready to be done with the 3 gingerbread houses on the counters so I made the boys a deal...they could eat as much candy as they wanted within 10 minutes.  At the end of the 10 minutes, we threw away whatever was left.  

The boys thought this was a great idea and I must say, they did a fantastic job eating the candy!

I love Cache's big cheek in this picture...

Howdy

Last weekend we went to the Leesburg Arts and Garden Festival and I picked up this stylish Cowboy hat. Cache has officially claimed it as his own!

Here we go again…

So blogging may turn out to be more than I thought…

But so worth it!

Happy Kids

Family Fun magazine is my inspiration.  I always find crafts and projects that I enjoy making with the kids.  The kids celebrated their 1/2 birthdays this week.  I intended to make these for that occasion...but we were just a couple days late getting the supplies.  So during our rainy afternoon we made owl cupcakes.  Here are the happy creators...

Although Xander and Declan didn't get to eat anything delicious (well at least not first hand)... they were still quite happy today.  Declan enjoyed his first time in the exersaucer.
