Come out come out wherever you are!

So we lost Jack again - BUT the doors were all closed and locked because it was dark and we hadn't gone out for a couple of hours.....
I heard a clanking noise and couldn't figure out where it was coming from - I checked the bathrooms ( we always shut the door because he loves all things bathroom ) but I guess we forgot to shut one. It took me 3 looks in there to find him BEHIND the shower curtain playing in the shower that Kyla and I had just gotten out of( so still quite wet ) . He LOVES his baths and I guess didn't care if there was water in the tub or not!

Where does the time go?

Kyla seems to have grown up overnight! She always amazes me with her intelligence, but this weekend she seemed to go through this physical change, there is something about her face, hair and appearance in general that shocked me when I saw these pictures. She also has grown 2 inches in like 3 months because all of the pants I tried on her at the beginning of fall fit, now only half of them do... they are all too short.

These 2 pictures are from this weekend - ignore the silly sweatshirts... they are weekend play clothes ( and trust me very hard for me to get her to put them on so she doesn't ruin her other favorite stuff )

Every day she reminds me of how far we have come in the 4 years that it's been since we found out we were pregnant!

Look what I just got!

I haven't been this excited about anthing exercise based since Kim and I used to do 7 minute abs at our old apartment at 5:30 a.m. every day! I think I might post before, progress and after pictures and pick a goal date to keep me motivated. Then when I don't do anything you all can call me out on it and ask how the progress is going?!? Whatcha think?

I'm soooooo TIRED.

Rain is not good for toddlers who have a lot of energy!

I really hate the rain as it is... I understand it's importance, but I could do without it. ESPECIALLY having 3 toddlers, who love to play outside. We got out on Saturday for a few minutes and walked around the block, but besides that, the source of exercise has been bed jumping and tag.... the kids really want OUT bad. Poor Jack probably feels like he's in one tiny little room. Everytime we take the trash out or something he hears the front door and bolts for it, then throws himself on the floor when he realizes he can't go anywhere. He brought me his shoes to put on him atleast 5 times!

We had a fun evening Sunday night - we were all 5 ( a rare occurance ) in K & K's room taking turns taking pictures and playing airplane and everything else we could think of for about 30 minutes. Here are some of our fun pictures to share of our 30 minutes of family bonding! LOL , I can't get the words to go on top of the pictures for some reason.... urrrghhh. ( Kyla took the first one - she's watching me type this and wants to know everything I'm writing )

I have sugar in my toes!!!

Kyla came out of her room last night saying: "MOM help me, I have sugar in my toes and I can't get it out!" I thought she had something in her footsie jamies, but then she said: "the other toes don't have any sugar, just these toes and I can't walk on it either, I have sugar in them mom, sugar!?" I finally figured out that her foot was asleep. I'm sorry but, this was just the cutest thing ever to me! After I explained that her foot was asleep she said: "Well how do you wake up a foot mom?" She then proceeded to hop on one foot over to her daddy whom she thinks can fix anything... and really, isn't that exactly what dad's do anyway?

And then there is bathtime!

This is what peace, quiet, sibling love and happiness looks like in my house!
