Happy Valentine's Day!

This is what happens when you let your kids eat a piece of Valentine's candy after breakfast . . . happy Valentine's day, everyone! :-D

Spin yourself silly!

When it's literally freezing outside and your kids are going stir-crazy inside, what is better than turning on some fun tunes and spinning on the floor?

I remember being a kid and spinning on the floor on my belly, like Oliver is doing in the picture below:


Buttercup had trouble spinning on her belly, so she opted for spinning on her bottom, which turned out to be just as much fun! Whee!!

And now, for your musical entertainment . . .

Yesterday afternoon, we were playing in the backyard the kids were playing in the backyard and I was sitting on the patio with my feet up, and Oliver was struck with the urge to sing. And he sang, and sang, and sang. I eventually hauled myself out of my chair and went to get the camera to take this video of him. :-)

So without further ado, here he is singing "Fix It Time." Enjoy!

Silly kid pictures

Here are some recent pictures of the kids acting silly!

Hiking at Inks Lake with Daddy.



I made them each a chair out of blocks for their babies -- Buttercup is taking a picture of them with her cell phone, and Oliver is laughing hysterically (about 2 seconds later, he fell off the couch because he was laughing so hard).





This one isn't silly, but I thought I'd include it because it's just so cute! This is from last week, when Buttercup decided to not nap in her crib while big brother was at preschool. I took her for a quick run, and she fell asleep in the stroller right away. :-)
