Guess who was excited to have lunch with his teacher today?

Crazy things from the kids...

Lily (on the way to school this morning): Mom...what if someone ate Anabelle?
Me: Like Who????
Lily: I don't know...what about a mean bear...bears are mean you know!

Aidan (when I picked him up): Mom...When am I going to get my own phone?
Me: WHAT???? Not for a long time buddy!

hhhhhmmmm......

 Somebody I know also likes to brush their teeth!!!! Little bit hears the water running and comes running! She climbs onto the potty and this is how I found her this morning! (Don't worry...I was in there brushing my teeth when a little person I know decided to join in...it was so cute I had to stop and get the camera!)

Who wants a bath?

If you ask Anabelle if she wants a bath...she takes off running for the bathroom! This child loves to take baths. She says, "bath"....more like "baf" but she just gets giddy when the water starts running! Look at those curls she is getting!

{dance moves}

Anabelle Devaney is so darn cute when she dances! She doesn't stop...when the song is over she points at the ipod so we can out on another song! It just makes me laugh every time!

Music with Daddy!

Anabelle loves music! She loves to dance and loves Matt's ipod!

I am so happy that....

1. Anabelle Devaney is now wearing 18 month sleepers. My baby is growing!
2. We got our taxes done...another thing to check off the list-done!
3. I have Monday off work! Yes!!!!  Matt, Aidan and Lily are off too so we are going to do something fun!
4.  Already thinking about summer plans for the kids! 
5. Signed Aidan up for T-ball.
6. Taking a mini-vacation with the kids!
7. My hubby bought me flowers. (I love flowers!)
8. Matt and I have 2 weddings this summer (that means 2 babysitters that I already have booked!)---should be fun!
9.  We have Aidan's parent/teacher conference tomorrow
10. This morning...Anabelle touched the T.V. and Lily said "No...No." Anabelle came in the bedroom and looked and me and pointed her finger and said...NO! NO! I just died laughing!

Cute!

 This is Anabelle's new pose. She crouches down and "gets ready".  Then she takes off running. It is so funny!

Peek-a-boo!

Weekend!

 Friday night, some friends came over and we all hang out.  Saturday, Aidan had his school carnival and so Sunday we spent some time just hanging out. We put together puzzles, played with some new legos that Aidan got for his birthday and then headed over to grandma's house. All in all...it was a great family weekend!

CaRniVal!

Aidan's school had a carnival this weekend. We volunteered to work and then hung out for a while. The kids got to run around and play some games, eat some food and got way too many prizes! They looked so cute--they got their hair sprayed different colors. Aidan's was orange and red...Lily's pink. Tinker just loved it.

Anabelle gives Love!

 Anabelle Devaney loves babies (or those who are a bit younger than her)! She loves to give hugs too! It is the cutest thing because if there is a baby nearby---she is lovin on them! She made her way around to all the "babies" at Aidan's birthday party! It doesn't matter if they are practically as big as her...she is hugging them!She has the sweetest personality!

Then and now....

 Lily has slept like this for as long as I can remember...even as a baby! Some things haven't changed!



Valentines!

We decorated our bags for VValentine's Day!  Aidan and Lily both filled out their valentines.  Lily had to write her name 18 times. She did great! This is the first year that she filled them out by herself. Aidan was a pro this year! Wow...they are getting big!

DETERMINED!

 Aidan is a child that is so determined! He sets his mind to do something and he just doesn't stop until he does it!  This is how he was with taking his training wheels off, tieing his shoe, swinging a baseball bat without a tee, etc. It is amazing! His big gift for his birthday was a new bike. It is much bigger and has handle brakes. He loves it but it is quite a bit harder. As he told my mom and dad, "Well, at first it was hard but then I tried it and it was just a little bit hard. Then it was a little bit hard but I just keep trying. Now it is just a little bitty bit hard but I will get it." This all takes place in the course of a day. He won't stop until he gets it! He fell over at least a dozen times on the first day--it doesn't phase him! He has to use his tippy toes to get started but by golly he can do it!  I am amazed by him sometimes! Proud but amazed!

~Aidan's 6th Birthday~

 Aidan had his birthday party over the weekend! It was a blast. It ended up raining so a birthday bash at Pump It Up with family and friends was perfect! The kids ran around and played! Aidan and Lily has so much fun! We  had the entire place to ourselves which made it extra nice!

~Look Who is 6!~

 Today is Aidan's 6th birthday! The day started off with a  new shirt, being serenaded  by his family, phone calls from Nana and Pa Pa and Uncle Jay. I met Aidan for lunch at his school and brought him McDonald's.  He was so excited to see me! I got to watch him play a few minutes at recess. It was cute to see him in action at school! He still gets to pass out treats at school, have a little celebration at Ms. Amy's, and then we will see what the night entails. Matt is on nights so I am not sure what we will do for dinner...but all in all..it has been a pretty great day so far!

~Weekend Fun~

Friday Night: We headed to Grandma and Grandpa's for pizza night!

Saturday: Me, Aidan and Lily headed to the Butterfly House for some fun! I read in my parents-as-teachers brochure that The Butterfly House was putting on a special event.  It was a beach themed event (like Summer Fun in Winter time) with arts and crafts, face painting and games!  Of course, we went in the Conservatory and looked at the butterflies. It was pretty fun! Tinker just loved it!  We ended our trip with a carousel ride.

Sunday: Matt and I decided to take the kids to Blueberry Hill on the loop for lunch! It was lots of fun! We had some drinks, ate some yummy food and the kids played some games! All in all...it was a fun weekend!
