My beautiful big cheesy grinning girl riding her bike in circles
Everyone has to do their own thing when playing in the driveway! Bike riding, hiding the chalk and texting. Thank goodness Isabella doesn't have a cell phone yet.
Jack loves to play in the bean box, and Paige was lucky enough to find a pony and a brush to fix its hair.
Patient little man, waiting for the pony hair brush
Smile Jack!!
Here is my little naughty boy!! Jack is always getting into, climbing on, or destroying something in our house....everything with a devilish smile too.
Little snugglers with a very sleepy, barely awake mommy
Isabella hugging the build a bear, kitty, that Amber (the new nanny) got her last week.
When I stopped for coffee last night this is what I ran into...A huge gathering of mallard ducks!! They were all hanging out waiting for a hand out I think. The one in the front of the picture actually started walking toward the truck when I was trying to take the picture. I only wish I had something to feed them.
Last week we took the kids up to Jamison Square to play at our favorite little coffee house and found that they had turned the play room into an additional seating area for adults. More than a little disappointed we got our coffee to go and took the kids outside. They didn't have any issues playing in the rain and checking out the sculptures. They did have a problem with looking at the camera while I was trying to take a photo.
Another beautiful sunrise from the windows of OHSU. Makes working nights worth it every time.
This is what happens when you "get" to sleep with both of your small children. A little night time sleeper twister deluxe.
We are patiently awaiting Spring...well not really. We spend Friday in the back yard picking up poooo and then attempting to mow the lawn. The mower is being cranky and probably needs a little tune up, so that is on the list of things to do this week before the sun really starts to shine and kick the grass into grow mode. Jack finally discovered that once you climb the stairs to the play structure there is a slide and its really not scary to slide down. Why on earth he couldn't figure this out when we first went outside I will never know, he had to wait until the sun had moved out of the yard and it was getting cold. Perhaps we can try again in the next couple of days and see what happens then. Today we enjoyed a little bit of the sun in the driveway playing with the dog and riding bikes, and by we I do mean Jack and Isabella. We were actually trying to clean out the garage...oh joy!! Jack had is first run in with Jonah's teeth while playing ball. Jack tossed the ball, but it went up instead of out, landed on his head and Jonah tried to catch it and nipped the corner of Jack's eye. Not to worry I think the upset lasted about 10 seconds and then they were back to playing fetch. What a trooper he is. Maybe tomorrow will be more eventful and sunny, we'll see I guess
Jack found a "twig" and decided that he should bring it along with him on our walk. What you can't see is how fast that branch got thrown aside at the sight of the balloons just ahead of him. He proceeded to scream bloody hell the rest of the way home since I wouldn't get him a balloon. I wish I could say that I understand the draw to those damn floating things, but I don't.
Everyone was happy when we arrived at Dutch Bros and got our "warm cocoa and ice cream". They didn't even complain about me stuffing them both into the jogging stroller that was made for one person. Gotta love the simplicity of being small and big rewards.
