December 1st

Today we took our kiddos to see Mickey Mouse! Oh, how I miss Disney World, I cannot wait to take these crazy people. Especially Harrison. He is smitten with all the characters. "Me hug him, me hug him". We had to wait in line to meet Mickey, and when he got the go ahead he went running.

Look at him look at her adoringly

 They brought him a birthday cupcake, which he proceeded to eat every sprinkle off of and none of the cake.

Pluto's coming!!

 Smooshy face

Lincoln was so very excited to go...

But then very shy when he was near the characters. When Pluto came by, he slowly crept around the entire table while Harrison hugged him 100 times, until he was finally close enough to get in the picture. Once he got there, he was ok.

I had to hug Mickey myself before he would do it.

Ethan is now considered an adult by Disney rules, so he had to eat a lot to make his plate worth it lol. To Ethan that means pastries and cheese.

Never too old to hug Mickey

lol he didn't see Pluto coming

Millie's first time in a restaurant high chair.

And first character encounter...

she liked him :)

Today our elves were reading stories to other toys and they brought advent calendars. Lincoln got Lego Star Wars, Ethan got tsum tsums and Harrison got Thomas the Train.

September 18th

Sometimes they love each other... it doesn't last long.

We took all 4 kids out for dinner for the first time. So funny to see people start to count them. You have....4? Like that's sooooo many. They were all well behaved too, better than they eat at home. Harrison didn't even throw his plate on the floor.

Ethan orders hot cocoa (as usual) and pretends its coffee lol such a grown up

unimpressed by her first restaurant experience

August 30th

My big boy came running in from the park all excited that the ice cream man was outside. This is the first time we've seen him since we have lived here, so that pink van was very exciting. Of course dinner was on the stove, and about 10 minutes from being done, but it's the ice cream man! My littles had no clue what they were in for, but I'm pretty sure they liked it.

He was still a little bit pink after his bath tonight.

This one was trying to eat the gum, not happening Mister.

Ethan ran off to the park with his, so I didn't get any pictures, and he actually came home clean, which is odd....

Harrison seems so big next to Millie.

34 days old!

Pretty sure this is a valentine's day outfit, but I love it.

Lincoln's 3rd Birthday!!

My big old 3 year old boy started off his birthday by falling out of bed at 6 am and screaming like he was dying. I found him in the middle of the room somehow, he said his butt hurt, but he went back to sleep until after 8 (he NEVER sleeps that late).

He also was lucky enough for a trip to the grocery store (in one of his new shirts)

He got this awesome teepee which we forgot to set up the night before so I had to quickly try to build. It had no directions, but I got it. I think Harrison enjoyed it as much as Link did. (well when Link will let him in there)

This kid loves infomercials. He was very excited about the hover ball (It's from the TV!!) and some draw on jammies my mom got him.

Star Wars playdoh! He LOVES playdoh!

32 days old

Ms. Millie even smiled for Lincoln's birthday :)

He was supposed to have a Batman birthday, but switched it on me last minute, so my attempt at a Blaze cake. Blaze also called to wish him a happy birthday which he thought was pretty cool.

Attacking me with bubbles with his new ninja turtle bubble blower.

Spaghetti & snakeballs for dinner - he wanted his meatballs in snake shape

 I think she's his favorite sister

Ethan picked a random present from the pile and told Link it was from him. That was his giant thank you, none of the rest of us got a hug that big!

They liked blowing out the candles

but not as much as they like eating cake

August 15th

My laundry helper today.

So we were eating dinner, and he kept closing his eyes and waving at me. So silly.

This guy learned how to wink, and thinks it's super cool.

19 days old

Thank you Aunt Debby for the booties, now her feet can be covered lol
