How to pass the time

Randy is in Hawaii this week for "work."

I am at home with our three beautiful and wonderful children!

How do I pass the time you ask?

Hmmmmmmmmmm...I'll have to think about that one?

But, somehow I manage to keep my cool!!

I Will Survive

...as long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive. 3 kids the oldest is 3. Hmmmmmm?! Interesting dynamics. Well it's lucky my kids are pretty cute. I decided that it's not as crazy as you might think. Things are manageable most of the time. It's when one kid has a meltdown and the other joins in (I do have 2 babies) that is gets really crazy. But that doesn't happen too much. So I manage. Luckily it is super warm now and we live outside. We spent a little bit of money this year on outside toys...whoops. Let's see: 3 tricycles, a sandbox, a barbie jeep. We also have 2 sprinklers and a swimming pool. Nice. Outside time is happy time for everyone. Here are some random cute pictures. That's all for now.

Coping

How are the kids doing? Well, Charlie seems to be having a harder time adjusting to baby sister. How does he cope, you ask? Let's see...

Stealing Faye's binky

Swinging in Faye's swing

Pulling a discarded DQ blizzard out of the trash and making a BIG mess

And, giving big hugs

Charlie says "baby" very clearly. It's quite cute!


Here is a video of the kids in the sprinkler and Charlie standing. We have a BIG announcement. I took this video yesterday, and today Charlie walked!!! You would think since we already have Mabel who learned to walk it might not be so exciting. This is the most anticipated event in the history of our children. Charlie walking. He took about 10 steps in a row tonight!!! I was SOOOOOOOOO excited. 2 days before he turns 15 months. What a big boy. FINALLY!!! We thought he would walk at 12 months. He showed us.
