Catchin' Up

This is the "chill out" position, so we had to get a picture in their shirts, of course! They both sit like this in the car sometimes-who said we're not laid back?

The following are attempts at trying to take some pictures of the kids-

Will trying to see what Maggie's doing for this picture...

Will's fake sweet smile that comes out when Mommy starts bribing


Maggie trying to figure out when Mommy will follow through with the promised M&Ms.





At the zoo-we've gone the last couple of weeks because the weather has been so fantastic-I guess Ethan got tired and needed a ride!
This one is probably only funny to Wendy and I, but Will was trying to share his fruit roll up (not a normal treat-it was left over from our plane trip to Michigan) with everyone and kept asking if they "want a lick" Ethan thought he must be crazy!
Yes, she has on PJs, but more importantly, she's wearing about 8 tubs of fingerpaints. This has become one of her favorite things in the world, and she always starts off very ladylike-dipping a Dora paintbrush very gingerly, painting a neat line across the page, and then she starts digging in. Sooner rather than later, she is dipping her hands, not her fingers, into the tubs and on warmer days when she's naked, she's in full body paint.
The kids and Eric went to a hockey game one night with several other Dads and their kids. It was Maggie's first outing on a Dad's night and I think she had a blast. Unfortunately, I spent my Mommy night curled up in bed with the flu. I didn't really get any good pictures, although Eric did a great job of taking a lot of pics-but this is Joel, Blake, Cade, and Will.

So I know I keep saying this, but sorry for the delay between posts. I really mean to do better, but lately everything has been so hectic. Let's see-this week, I'm packing for a ski trip to Colorado and in another set of suitcases I'm packing for the trip to Mexico we're taking as soon as we get home from skiing. I'm also re-doing Maggie's room into her big girl room because she turns TWO this week! In my spare time, I'm getting things ready for the party, and oh yeah-trying to keep up with these kiddoes! We are also spending a lot of time helping out with my mom, so there's not a whole lot of time for blogging. These are just some random pics from over the last month or so. I have to say, I've been really bad about taking pictures lately, but we should have enough to go around once we get home from our "travels" and after Maggie's big day! I tried to take some on Sunday of the kids because anyone who knows me knows that your birthday starts on the Sunday before the actual day and goes straight through the whole week (or more, depending on when the party is...) but they weren't in such a picture taking mood--I know, it's crazy to think that a 2 and 3 year old don't want to stop to pose for Mommy's camera! :)

Hmmm...looks like Ethan's mommy needs to invest in a sit & stand stroller!
