i'm just wondering...

just this past month, i can finally say that josie sleeps the whole night
if i'm lucky, when she wakes up around 6 to nurse she often falls back alseep
love it!!

i'm just wondering who told garrett & ryan?
just because we are used to getting up at night doesn't mean we now want to get up with you!!!
please, just sleep one entire night in your own bed.

i'm just wondering how bad it would be to lock their door from the outside...
kidding!!!

last night

last night i went out scrapbooking
the first time i've gone in over 2 years
i had a blast catching up with an old friend

since i take pictures off my camera on a daily basis for my 365 blog,
tim knew it wouldn't be long before i found these...
some fun pics of his night with the kiddos

and since they had so much fun, i think i need to go scrapbooking more often!
and maybe the next time i'll actually bring the pictures i printed off :)
{note to self: remember the paper cutter, too!!}

monkey see hear, monkey do

this morning i was driving olivia & her friend anthony to school.
anthony has been out sick for a few days - he's feeling better, but still kinda tired.

so as we're driving olivia is chatting away at full speed to anthony.
{she wanted to know if they were still best friends. ha ha, such a girl!}
anthony is very quiet - so i ask him if he's ok.
he says "yes, i'm fine. but i didn't sleep at ALLLL last night.
my sister woke me up.
so that's why i'm tired."
{clearly he didn't need olivia's girly chit chat.}

next thing you know olivia is super crabby and snapping at ryan & garrett.
{granted she's sitting in the middle of them, so it's an easy place to get frustrated!}
i asked her to stop being so crabby.
she says "mom, i was up ALLLL night. i'm so tired!!!!"

dressing himself

summer hat
super hero mask & cape
go fish t-shirt
camo pjs

tim put ryan to bed this night
so i didn't see what all he actually wore to bed
when he wandered into our bedroom in the middle of the night...
he was wearing this entire ensemble :)

when one picture isn't enough

some nights it's easy to pick my favorite shot of the day for my 365 blog
other nights it's hard
tonight was one of those nights

they kids were supposed to be getting ready for bed
instead, they decided a game of leap frog would be more fun

oh, to be 4 & 6 again!!



but seriously kids, now it's time for bed.

having fun, tunnel style

normally i'm not a big fan of the play tunnel
you all know why...
someone always ends up crying

well this day was no exception...
but look at all the fun they had!!

loving this!

now that josie can sit up she has so much more to play with
and ryan has found a new playmate!

i'm loving this stage
they'll sit for the longest time just playing together

i'm making sure to enjoy this time
before too long they'll be up to the usual brother & sister "antics"
and by "antics"... well, you know what i mean!

the last one!!!

warning... not very interesting
just wanted to remember this moment...


yesterday i made up a batch of green beans for josie
yum yum :)

to which i added this...

would you believe this is the LAST container of milk i have from when she was in the hospital??
i never thought i'd get through it all before it expired. ha ha!!

{the date on the container says 3/20... wow, that seems like forever ago!}

if you don't believe me that i had a lot of frozen milk, just check out this past post!!!
