my cute cute cute boy

this is how we found him one morning
he has no idea what to do
oh...it's popcorn!! and it's all for me!! he was always taking the other kids' popcorn, so i finally caved in and gave him his own bowl. most of it ended up on the floor:)
first time standing with support! he couldn't get back down:)
oh boy! found something! is it food?
mr. i make messes for mommy to clean up
i'm in trouble- he found the good stuff!

sammy's stuff

audrey and jack each sleep with tons of stuff in their beds, aside from blankets and pillows. sammy has never wanted anything except his monkey and thomas pillow. he usually would throw things off the bed at bedtime. he won't even sleep with a his beloved buzz lightyear blanket because he does not like stuff. until now. now, sammy sleep with so many toys we don't know where he is. he still won't use a blankets, but with charlie in the bed, there's no need. that stuffed dog is bigger than sammy!
he's sitting on all his toys

it's really funny watching him try to get off the couch
super comfy! he takes charlie everywhere!
however much stuff he has, monkey is always on hand. literally. if he's not touching monkey in his sleep he wakes up and cries until he finds it again. 
awww. my cutie patootie:)

audrey and jack



she's exercising with mommy- the jump rope is a resistance band, the mittens are boxing gloves, and i have no idea why she has on snow boots
she went to two birthday parties on the same day and all she learned was that party hats are fun
it took me forever to find her!
now that they're in separate rooms, they're better friends
helping mommy bake cookies-  you and me time while audrey was at school and the younger boys were napping
his quesadilla was a spaceship
jack and the mountain of stuff he sleeps with every night

sammy's birthday

sammy's birthday was so much fun! we celebrated one day early, on sunday, just so the kids could have cake all day long:) not that sammy minded- cake for breakfast rocks! he also got to open his presents- three special agent oso toys figures ( his newest obsession) and a stuffed kitty ( he's been taking audrey's). he was so excited, we couldn't open the packages fast enough. then on monday, april 11, his actual birthday, sammy got to chose everything- meals, games, shows, movies:) we had his party on saturday- an easter egg hunt and cupcake decorating. by the time the guests left, sammy was on the couch telling me "mommy i so tired now":) i think he had a pretty darn good 2nd birthday:)
all they did was eat the sprinkles, as expected

spoils of cupcake decorating 

about half and hour after the guests left, this is how we found him
reading his birthday card from nana and papa ou-  it kept him occupied for the entire morning
playing with his new special agent oso toys
he really liked the candle- he knows his numbers 1-8, so the two was a BIG deal

he only ate the chocolate and the whipped cream
woohoo! new toys!

jack and audrey



jack

i think jack is sitting on sammy

his hiding spot 

showing off his new toys from uncle richard

jack's turn to "break" his leg and have a "cast"

they're in sleeping bags

i'm so grateful we have such a huge couch

he pulled baby rawr around the entire house- i'm amazed his back didn't hurt

he's being a kitty in a cave

audrey

her kitty is going to school

this is where i found her- sleeping on a stool. why did we buy her a bed?


she broke her leg and has a cast on- made of packing tape

they're playing choo choo train

my big boy sammy

bedtime 


sammy's new pillow- charlie now sleeps in his bed

he's reading european history for dummies

this kid loves puzzles

yes, he is eating mustard

he's taking notes for audrey and jack while they play doctor
