Valentine's Day 2018

Happy Valentine's Day 2018!

 

Valentine's buckets for all the cuties!

 We had heart everything, cookies, pancakes.

 

 

And Chesney had a heart filled lunch.

 Chesney had her Valentine's party yesterday at school and Brecken's was today.  He wanted a Mario Brothers Valentine box.

We had a great Valentine's Day!

Crew {44 Weeks Old}

Crew you are 44 weeks old. You are very good at entertaining yourself because you love to crawl around and check out every room in the house.

Crew {3rd Tooth}

Crew got his 3rd tooth today.  His right upper central incisor is just coming through.

Busy Times

These days are busy.

 I haven't figured out why our dog prefers to eat people food.

 Crew loves to push his wagon around.  He even walked right out of his pants one night.

 

 Chesney loves to fix peoples hair right now.  And Brecken is happy to have his hair done.

 Crew found the towel drawer and emptied it for me.

 Getting Valentine's ready for their classmates.

Crew {10 Months Old}

Crew is 10 months old. I can't believe you are in double digit months now.

Here's what you have been up to over the past month.

 You started climbing the stairs on January 15, 2018.

You got your first tooth on January 23 (lower left central incisor) and your 2nd tooth on January 24 (lower right central incisor).

Hanging out with Brecken.

Making silly faces.

Helping with the house cleaning.

Your 10 month stats:

• Weight: 19.25 lbs
• Length: 28 inches
• Clothes: You are wearing size 6-12 month clothes and 9 month sleepers.
• Shoes: You wear size 3-6 month and some 6-12 month shoes
• Diapers: We are do using mainly paper diapers now because you still get rashes easily, but I do stick a few cloth diapers in during the day when I can.
• Food: Mommy milk and water. You are sticking with meats, veggies and fruits.  You aren't a very picky eater which makes it a little easier. We are still avoiding gluten.
• Development: You started climbing the stairs on January 15, 2018.
• Teeth: You got your first two teeth this month, one on January 23 and one on the 24th.
• Sleep:  You have been sleeping through the night almost every night in the past few weeks. You usually take a good morning or afternoon nap with a shorter nap at the opposite time of day.
• What I love about you: You are all over the place now between crawling, climbing and standing. You are such a happy and easy going boy. 

Happy 10 months Crew!  We love you so much!

Lately

I am having a hard time fitting these little updates into our busy lives right now.

 The oldest and the youngest boy just hanging out.

 Pizza making night.

Mackston stacked these rolls of toilet paper and somehow was able to reach to put the hardhat on top.

 Mackston is big into dressing up these days. 

 

But this outfit takes the cake!

 Crew's new trick is to close his eyes when he is smiling at someone.

 Scoopie night with this little cutie!  She loves this night every year.

Brecken was working on school work at Chesney's desk.  That's the fun place because she has all kinds of markers, pencils, crayons and stickers.

 

 I have a shadow (or 2 it seems) when I vacuum.

 Chesney is getting excited for her first figure skating competition in March.  She will be doing a program to a song from The Little Mermaid.

Brecken was hard at work on letters while Chesney was at skate practice. It's nice that he is finally ready and willing to learn.

Crew {43 Weeks Old}

Our baby boy is 43 weeks old.  He loves to pull himself up on anything he can find. And he's very curious and loves to move around to check everything out.

Catholic Schools Week 2018

Catholic Schools Week is such a fun week for the kids.  They get to dress up to a theme each day which means no uniforms and they have all kinds of fun activities planned.

 Monday was nerd or jock day for Chesney and pajama day for Brecken.

 These nerd pictures of Chesney just crack me up.

 Mackston wanted in on the photos too.  And he dressed himself.

 

Tuesday the kids got to go to the movie theater for school (Paddington 2).  Chesney had pajama day and Brecken had a non-uniform day.

 

 

 Wednesday was animal dress up day.  A little black kitty and a turtle were pretty excited for the day.

 

Thursday was color wars day.  2nd grade had green and pre-k was rainbow.

 

 Friday was school spirit day.  Chesney was decked out in her red and black and Brecken was a knight for the SJV Knights.

 

 

This is why we send our children to a Catholic School.  On Friday one of the activities for Catholic Schools Week was stop, drop and pray.  Throughout the morning, an announcement would randomly be made and everyone would drop what they were doing to pray.  These sweet 4 and 5 year olds praying just melts my heart!
