Dinner fun!

Friday night we went to a mexican restaraunt and they had a woman that did face painting sitting by the door. At the end of dinner we stopped by and this is the result. The kids had a blast and was an incentive for them to eat their dinners!

Grant had to have the snake on his face!

Riliegh wanted the rainbow with the pretty designs.

The Easter Bunny

We went to Evansville this weekend to celebrate Easter with mommy's family. On Saturday the Easter bunny visited (a little early) and we got to paint and stamp eggs and get the Easter baskets and have an egg hunt at Great Gradnmom and Poppy's house. We got a lot of eggs and candy!!! We had a good time with our cousins Avery, Makayla, and Madison. Grandmom and Poppy had a lot of fun watching the kids run around their yard hunting for the eggs.

The Easter Bunny showed up while we were taking a walk around the block... that sneaky bunny!

Wow a bunny webkinz!

Candy goes immediately into the mouth.

The Easter Bunny was very good to us!

Stamping the eggs!

Avery taking a turn with the orange bunny.

Good job Grant!

Avery acting silly!

Indoor Game Day

Since it is 30 something degrees outside we needed an activity to do indoors to let out some of the energy so we decided on golfing... Grant got this Gator Golf game for Christmas so we broke it out and played golf in the living room. I got this short video of the kids playing it is too funny. Grant was trying to sit while waiting his turn but kept leaning back in the chair and falling over.

Update Grant is almost completely potty trained "crossing my fingers" He still has one or two accidents here and there but has been wearing big boy underwear for the last 2 weeks... yeah!!! He is really funny about it he won't flush the toilet until he shows me that he went in the potty, he told me today that he wanted to show Rileigh. He's very proud of his bodily functions.

Sleep anyone?

While Rileigh was at school today I decided I was going to lay down with Grant and try to take a little nap, well we can all see how well that went.....

Oh well Grant and Rileigh are going to Grandma Joan's and Grandpa Mike's for the weekend so I can sleep then.

Little Bakers

Today we decided to bake some brownies and the kids wanted to help. Rileigh was busy playing at first so Grant added all of the ingredients to the mixer and did a wonderful job, then Rileigh decided she wanted to help so she turned the mixer on a little too high so we all got dusted with a little chocolate powder, oh well. Next the kids wanted to lick the spoons, probably the best part of baking! I was suprised Grant liked it he usually only likes tanilla (vanilla) things.

You can tell Rileigh LOVES chocolate!!!!!

Grant wasn't quite as messy but like I said he likes tanilla better than chocolate.

Yummmmm eating our tasty work!

Funny Boy

So I am still potty training Grant... wow I never knew boys were really that much harder than girls to potty train, Rileigh pretty much just did it, no problems. So I took some funny pics of him the other day sitting on the potty, he was reading the Sunday funnies... we were cracking up it was too cute!

Before I was caught watching him...

Mom I will not be happy about this when I am older!

Here is a video of him singing in the bathtub.... he sings Twinkle Twinkle Little Star all the time. I thought it was cute.. he may not like me for this when he gets older either.... oh well that's what moms are for, right?

Hearts, Flowers, and Candy

I have not blogged much this month or last for that matter but my laptop decided that it did not want to work anymore so I had to have HP send me a new hard drive which means I lost everything on my computer (at least it was still under warranty).

Anyway this past weekend we along with most of America celebrated Valentines Day. Chad and I went out to dinner and a movie the weekend before the big day because we had a babysitter available. The day before of we took the kids to Steak N Shake and gave them some candy after all they couldn't wait one more day for candy. So the day of we got a call from Shawn and Jill who invited us out to an early movie and dinner with them, and best of all Chad's younger brother and his girlfriend were going to watch all 5 kids (what were they thinking?). So we went and had a great time together. We hadn't been out all together without the kids since before Rileigh and Spencer were born. The funniest part of the evening was when Jill and I started to mess with Evan, who is pretty gullible... We sent him a few text messages telling him we needed to get a hotel room because none of us could drive home and that we would see him in the morning, needless to say he was pretty happy to see us when we arrived home!

These were my gift from Chad... yummmmmmm 6 chocolate covered strawberries from Shari's Berries http://www.berries.com As you can see I ate 3 of them in the first 12 hours!
