A fun morning

St. Elizabeth’s hospital had a Miracle on 70th Street Christmas event for families.  All free!  It was a fun morning, but super packed and too busy for our little kids, for families to get in the Christmas spirit!  It was the first weekend in December.  They had a breakfast, booths of games and crafts, a music room, Santa, and Santa’s reindeer and sleigh outside!  We didn’t wait in the 2 hour line for Santa, maybe when our kids are older and don’t HATE Santa! ha!  But, we did wait outside in a smaller line for the reindeer and that was really cool!  My phone pictures don’t do it justice, I know, but a little glimpse of the fun!

Brynlee sat on my lap and refused to get up and dance and first, but then as soon as the little girl who was playing the ‘drum’ left, she ran right up to it and played the drum during the whole next song!  It was hilarious how much she was loving it and taking her duties so seriously!

Grady’s favorite part of the day, the Tattoo’s!

We didn’t get a great pic of the kids in the sleigh.  And, as soon as our friends that were with us started calling Brynlee’s name to get her to look, she got nervous with the big crowd standing there and started lifting up her skirt!  haha!

Isaac’s 5th Birthday

We love our cousin’s Birthday Parties!  Isaac had a Spiderman party for his birthday in November!

The ‘game’ the kids played was an obstacle course type thing that Spiderman had to conquer.  First, he got a call on the phone that his help was needed. 

Then he had to jump over some buildings to tie up a bad girl.  Then crawl thru a tunnel…..

Then he had to tie up a bad guy…

Then get in the car and drive thru the big wall….

And finally, he reached the last bad guy, who needed silly string in his face!  It was a hoot to watch all of the boys do it!

The then, lucky Spiderman got presents!  Even lots of Spiderman themed presents!

A yummy supper of Isaac’s favorite foods, shrimp and mac and cheese. 

 

The 3 Amigos

When we go to Grandma and Grandpa’s house (Paul’s parents) this is typically how we will find the 3 of them…or all 3 of them on top of the couch…or all 3 of them sitting on the coffee table…and yes, right in front of the TV.  Their favorites are Woody Wood Pecker (Woody Pecker is what they call it, thanks to Ron…), Toy Story, and 101 Dalmations. 

Over Thanksgiving we took the 3 boys to a movie in Norfolk.  With a stop at McDonalds first, we had 3 very happy boys! 

Mommy’s Helpers!

They love to help me with the laundry.  As soon as Brynlee see’s me open the doors to the laundry ‘area’ she runs into her room and drags her hamper out to me.  This particular day I yelled for both of them to bring me their hampers and it was like a stampede back to their rooms and a race to see who could drag theirs out first!  Hope they are always that eager to help…

*This may be a repeat post....I have been a little absent from the blogging world lately and couldn't remember.  And yes, I did look through all of my posts from the last few months to get an idea of what I covered, but no I didn't go back and double check about this one. 

Cute!

The CUTE snack a girl in my class brought today! Yes, her mom made 25 of those!

A new baby

We were so excited to go visit Tyler and Anslee's new baby boy in the hospital yesterday! Finn Tyler. He was only 5 lbs 9 oz, sooo tiny! Luckily we have a lot of preemie clothes from Grady that we could share with them!
Brynlee was in love with Finn! She would get mad if I walked away from him. She wanted to watch everything he did, even his poop!
We can't wait to go back and see him soon!

Hairdo

Brynlee is now into bringing me random pony tail holders and bows from her room and demanding them all in her hair. At the same time. This is one of her 'do's' that she was super excited about. Lovely.
