Sit-in

Henry's practicing for his first political sit-in. Will he protest government health care, the Afghanistan war, or musical Barbie vans? Only time will tell.

Happy Dedication Day

Henry was dedicated on Nov. 29. Here are some pictures of the great day!

Thanksgiving Day!

Here's what we're thankful for this year!

After a terrific Thanksgiving lunch and wedding reception with the family, I headed home with 3 wound-up kids! With all of the play places closed (seriously, McDonald's, help me out here!), we resorted to bubble popping!

Limbo!

Here's Henry sitting in a big boy booster seat! He doesn't eat any food yet but likes to be with us while we eat!

Good ol' fashioned Wednesday afternoon fun at the Wonka house! Notice Frank whistling while holding the "limbo stick" (aka: broom):

Rub a Dub Dub

Henry was really fussy tonight so we put him in the bathtub to kill time before bed. Of course, the other kids wanted to join him. They all did surprisingly well in our small bathtub!

I don't have any pictures to prove it but we do have two medals . . . Frank ran his first (and probably last) half marathon this morning! He was quite the trooper and finished in 2:07, without walking at all! Great job, Daddy!

3 in the bed and the little one said . . .

There were three in the bed and the little one said . . .

. . . Roll Over!

Henry rolled from tummy to back for the first time earlier in the week but, of course, I was running. Seriously, I'm away from the kids for 45 minutes a day, 5 days a week and he chooses that short time to do his first trick?! He repeated it for me on Friday, though! Yea, Henry!

Worth 1000 words!

"Rake them again, Mama!"

While the kids were at school, we raked the thousands of leaves that had fallen in the front yard. I bagged all but two large piles for the kids (less fighting that way!). Henry tried to get in on the action but, with Dad at work, we opted to keep him in his car seat!

Frankie was pretty excited about sidewalk chalk!

Frankie's party - Take 2!

With Frankie being sick on the day his birthday party was scheduled, we postponed the celebration and have been doing it bit by bit. Nana and Popo came to town on Halloween and brought a rice krispy cake for Frankie since he doesn't care for traditional cake!
