Girly

I caved. I took the boys to Thrift Town in Fremont so I could pick up something *secret*. I found exactly what I was looking for, I love that thrift store chain, and thought I might as well check out the baby girl stuff while I was there.

Some My Little Ponies made their way home with us. I love to watch Reade brush their hair in his not-so-gentle boy way. Here they are after I brushed their hair and wiped them down with a Clorox wipe:


This jumper was so fun to find because I love the brand (Loved Baby) and at 99¢ I knew I was getting a deal ($18.00 retail price):


And who can resist some diaper covers (will or will they not fit over the tiny cloth diaper?) at 29¢ each:

Weeks

Sorry baby #3 for being late with the photos. It doesn't mean I don't think about you all the time:





In preparation for spring, I bought a couple of my favorite skirts from oldnavy.com that are super comfy when I am pregnant. I have squeezed myself into a size medium for the last two pregnancies, but thought it was time to order some in size Large for comfort and kindness to others. I was even more excited to find out the skirt was white and navy instead of black and white. At $16/pop I couldn't be more thrilled.

Cheap Date

My child is a printable mask junkie. It is a cheap craft that allows him complete control over his imagination. I have wised up to printing out colored ones so I don't have to color each and every one in for him:


Giving me that special Superman look:


Too bad the activity always ends in tears when I decide to cut him off from the computer/printer. The sky is the limit in his mind.

Pliney

Andrew's co-workers have a tradition of driving up to Santa Rosa to taste the limited edition of Pliney the Younger at Russian River Brewing Company. This year we tagged along to see what all the fuss was about. We went up on a Monday to avoid the hour(s) long wait to get inside and we are happy to report we got in after only waiting a half hour. We by far had the largest group of small children with us (sometimes causing comments and stares) and some husbands showed their age/tolerance ratio. Long, but fun day:

Shades

The sun comes out and suddenly my children demand eye protection. What good, fair skin children they are.

In the car:


This is how Reade wore them around the nursery while we shopped for plants in the dead of winter (aka, there was nothing worth looking at):


Blake asking to be in the picture. Reade's bruise is from when Blake threw a Lego board at his head the other evening:

Seen This?

I saw this for the first time today so excuse me if I bring up old, viral memories:

Extraction

Andrew put some bookshelves next to our china hutch last night. We left the room for a second and then heard Blake yelling that he was stuck. I guess he wanted to be under the china hutch?
