P3 can sit up all by himself now. If he falls over though, he still needs help getting back up. And he likes to take his naps in my arms. If I try to put him down, he wakes right up.

 

Still a tired mama because of a tired baby who doesn't sleep through the night. 

But, good thing he is cute! 

 

 

 

P2 loves sitting by P3 during meals. She loves it when I let her help feed the baby.

He likes watching TV and eating diapers apparently...

 

My sweet boys in green for St. Patrick's Day:

 

 

 

P1 and P2 are good helpers and like to play with the baby.

P3 still likes to hog our bed. He's pretty proud of himself for keeping us up all night.

Farewell Trees

We have an easement and pipeline in our backyard. Unfortunately, the pipe company decided they needed to clear out all the vegetation in the easement area. So we lost our big trees in the backyard. It was sad because they were a good barrier for the train, and they also provided good shade in the afternoon/evening.

When the first tree came down, I jumped back from the window because it looked like it was going to fall on the house! It came pretty close.

 

Now we have enough firewood to last for 30 years. I guess we need a fireplace, or a fire pit at least.

Snow Cave

P1 was really excited to build a snow cave this year. I think we did a pretty good job!

P2 wanted a snow slide. We probably should have built it up more, but it she enjoyed it!

February Pictures

P1 went to a birthday party and they had a pony to ride! All the kids loved it, except P1. I had to bribe him with $1 to ride the pony. And as soon as the pony started to walk, he panicked. But he did it!

 

P1's Valentine's Party at preschool. I had a moment of panic the night before when a fellow preschool mom posted a picture of a Valentine's Day box they had made for school. I thought they had made one at school, but this of course made me second guess. So I whipped up a box for P1 and had it in the car just in case. Turns out he didn't need it, but he enjoyed playing with it at home. And then I had to make another one for P2.

Dentist time! Both kids struggled this time getting their teeth cleaned. I thought they were supposed to get better not worse! But we survived.

 P2 was invited to a birthday party at Kangaroo Zoo. She had a blast! The birthday girl had to fight with her big sister over P2. They both wanted to play with her.

We love play dates with friends!
