garrett's best friend is missing!
out of the blue his friend is gone.
when did he disappear? we're not quite sure...but we are pretty sure he is gone.
garrett, you are looking more and more like a BIG BOY every day!
i'm gonna miss my little thumb sucker :(
our weekend at aunt emily's...
these boots are made for...well, i'm not sure.
strike a pose...vogue
hangin' tough with polly pockets
today i overheard olivia yelling this to ryan as he ran in circles around the kitchen:
"live the dream, ryan! live the dream!!!"
my favorite time of day (aside from when the kids go to bed) is afternoon naptime. olivia is at school, ryan is sleeping in his crib and garrett and i snuggle on the couch. sometimes we fall asleep and sometimes we just relax and catch up on tivo (much to garrett's dismay) or cartoons.
so yesterday we are having such an afternoon. garrett was pretty wiggly and i knew he needed a nap. so i turned off the tv and we were both supposed to go to sleep. i heard him making some noises, but i kept trying to sleep. finally i opened my eyes and looked over at him.
my sweet, cuddly little 3 year old was laying there with his pants down and a big smile on his face.
"ha ha, mom! i'm peeing on you." (said while aiming and making the sound of spraying pee.)
last week i had all the kids with me in victoria's secret.
there was some big sale, so it was pretty crowded.
after about 5 minutes in the store, garrett looks at me and says in his loud voice:
"mom, i don't think this is a boy shopping store!!!"
maybe someday...when you're older :)
and actually i don't think it's a mom store either...well, at least not a mom with 1 crying kid in a stroller and 2 kids who think it's fun to wander away from the stroller and touch all the merchandise.
maybe someday...when they're older :)
"don't touch me"the boys were cuddling so nicely on the couch.
i went get the camera.
when i came back, that moment had obviously passed.
but candids can be pretty cute too :)
the other night tim was giving the kids supper and i was on the treadmill. (we have a new habit of eating once the kids go to bed...lots quieter & the menu doesn't involve mac 'n cheese or hotdogs.) olivia had finished and tim let her go play with her leapster in the next room.
back in the kitchen, garrett started puking all over himself, tim, ryan & the kitchen. so tim starts yelling for me and then resorts to pounding on the floor (treadmill is in the basement right below the kitchen).
after helping tim get things under control, i went to see what olivia was up to. keep in mind she's in the next room...
me: olivia, did you realized garrett was throwing up?
olivia: what???? he threw up?
me: didn't you hear anything?
olivia: nope. i was just playing my leapster.
gotta love the leapster!ryan's one man attempt to bring back the BIG bangs...
some might just say, his mom needs to cut his hair...
garrett spent the morning outside with tim shoveling & sledding. once they came in, i asked garrett if he wanted some hot chocolate.
garrett: ummm, no. i just want a popsicle.
