I'm a Little Behind...

Oops... my bad.
Here are some recent randoms of the kids to catch you up a bit.
After several bubble baths in a row, we've run out of Mr. Bubble and let me tell you... it is a tragedy. Will has asked every day if I "found some" at the store yet.

Fetch with Brutus.
She's starting to say his name correctly now and I'm bummed. I liked the old way that sounded like "Bru-da" with her tongue hanging out at the end. ;)

This girl has some mad speed.
Why do we own a snow blower when Will likes to shovel this much?

That'a girl. Stay indoors with your mittens on and let the boys clear the driveway.
We had the Rethman girls over for sloppy joes one night last week and all the littles were digging the skinny pretzel sticks. This pic cracks me up of Stella. She looks like she's about to light her cigarette.
The table and chairs were temporarily in Sophie's room while the living room was painted so the girls hung out and read some Boynton.
Um? An unwanted hug? Soph, you're crazy. Will's hugs are awesome.
Craig came up with this headband idea for Sophie when he feeds her lunch because of his lack of patience with hair clips. It's an old nylon knee sock tied in a knot. Dear, you do realize she owns three or four actual headbands already, right? P.S. - I think she looks like Aunt Jemima like this.
Mylar balloons rock.
Will has been looking so grown up to me lately. Do you think so, too?
Such a Craig face.
Sophie has an obsession with Craig's old, wooden, toy truck from when he was a kid. She and Will each have a truck about this size that they race and "vroom" all over the house.
And oh my goodness... I am *this* close to removing this door between our kitchen and dining room. It is Sophie's hobby to slam it as hard as she can and take off running. Grr.
A sneak peek of the new, living room, wall color.

V.I.P. kids.





Love them!





For a long time, Sophie was terrified of the vacuum. Even now, when we turn it on, she'll say "oh, no!" But she's much less afraid anymore and Craig has taken to making a game of chasing her with it. She laughs and laughs.




Graham crackers = smiles.

They're a handful.
But they're so much fun. :)
