Sweetest potato

Kira had her first taste of sweet potatoes tonight and it is pretty clear how she felt about it.  

Keep it coming!

Dinner for three!

Max was really into trying to fix Timmy's bike. He took the wrench away from Gracie.  "It isn't safe for her!" he screamed as he grabbed it for himself.

Max pushed Timmy up and down the sidewalk (including a pretty big hill) about a dozen times.  You would think he would be cold (since it was 50 degrees) or tired afterwards, but nope.  He was awake until 10pm last night and he is on the same track for tonight.

Unswaddled sleep is still a work in progress.  One that requires a paci fix every 45 minutes, but it is coming along.

Pot of chocolate

What could be better than gold coins?CHOCOLATE gold coins!  These kids had a blast looking for sweet gold in the playground and leprechaun hunting around the neighborhood.

Max was so excited to look for a lucky coin just like Mickey does in one of his go-to episodes.  In fact, after all the coins were found, Max kept asking mommy to hide it so he could look again.  

Not quite ready for sushi yet...

Kira slept through the night again!  Two nights in a row of excellent sleep for her...

...and two night in a row of some of the worst sleep for the General.  After finally going to bed at 9pm, he woke up four times before winding up with mommy and daddy at 3:30am.  Max says he is scared of mascots from the ESPN baseball commercial, but sometimes he just wants to talk about or change his shorts.

The outdoors are great!

It was finally warm enough for shorts today!

Timmy and Max ate dinner together.  Again.  Of course.  This came after Max screamed across the playground to Timmy's mommy, "Meghan! Can Timmy eat my meatballs?"

Tickle, tickle 

This happy girl made her mommy even happier- she slept through the night for the first time- all the way until 7am!  Too bad her brother was up several times.

Workout time

Good thing we have two playmats 

Ready to workout at daddy's gym 

More working out at home 

Kira gets her workout in, too

Party all night...party all day

Max had LOTS of energy for someone who was awake from 2-5am.  At least he slept all the way until 7am.

TGIF

It's Friday and we partied hard at Chick fil A with Sadie and Tessa.  Max ran wild through the play place while us girls watched (and heard him) through the glass.

"Look at me!!!" Is quickly becoming one of Max's signature phrases.  Does he know that we do not need the reminder?? 

A long dinner date ended with a quick hug goodbye- so quick that Max nearly left (was halfway out the front door) without his shoes on!  Luckily Max noticed before his feet hit the pavement. 

Baby ballerina

Max loves greeting Kira with giggles in the morning.

Baby Sadie, Baby Tessa, and Baby Kira!

After school soccer playing, shorts wearing, and a dinner date with Timmy afterwards, of course.

Snow shorts

His dream finally came true! Max was allowed to wear shorts outside; the perfect snow shoveling attire.  Mommy's dream, however, did not come true, as Max was still awake as of 8:45pm.  "Do you want to see my MAJOR boo boo????!!!!" he bellowed moments ago, referring to the hot wheels injury he sustained last week.  

Max was so happy to finally play on the deck for what may be the first time since the night before Kira was born.  Just like that night, he immediately turned found sticks into a microphone and sung his heart out.

Deserted!  Daddy ran off after Max.  Max ran off after "Pawley" (the neighborhood cat, Ginger).

Max and Timmy can share this chair every night if it means they will eat their dinner.

Hi!  Kira has so much to say and we cannot wait to hear exactly what that is.

Wise guy

"Look at this mess!  I'm gonna get hurt."

How about clean up your toys, Max?

"Too loud!" Max remarked about the garbage truck.  

Kira has another cold and is suppppper stuffed up, but that did not stop her from playtime today.
