According to my phone...

This is what we have been up to...

A Laverne Black photography exhibition titled "Manescapes."  Very cool!

GG's last soccer game.  She was the only girl on the team this year, and had a great season.  She held her own and even scored some goals.

A rocket launch with Daddy.  The first launch was successful.  The second launch the rocket disappeared. We found it 6 days later in a tree.  It's still there and will be for a while because it is 40 ft up! 

Playing with new cousins, Brooke and Reese, or Reesie and Brookie, as CC calls them.  To say our 3 ladies are comepletely smitten and totally ga-ga over their cousins is an understatement!

GG's first bus ride.  She begged us and we finally gave in.  Two days a week she gets to ride the little bus to school with a handful of friends.  Saves time, saves gas, saves my sanity :) and gives her some independance.  Win-win...so far...

This little one is growing too fast.  She melts my heart with her beautiful smile, crazy cool green-brown eyes, and go with the flow attitude. 

Snow in October ?!?!?!?!

It looks so funny to see snow on top of pumpkins.  As the temps have been dropping my husband has been grumbling about how he is not looking forward to winter this year.  He was not happy Saturday when this storm blew in!  The girls however love it.  They were very excited to sleigh ride, make snow angels, and eat handfuls of snow (GG's favorite).  Luckily, as I look out the window now it has all melted.   

Flu Shots

NG volunteered to go first, hopped on the exam table, never blinked when she got her shot, and hopped off the exam table.  Easy Peasy!  GG went next and it took the nurse and I to hold her down for the shot.  I thought she was going to hyper-ventilate.  CC was last and whimpered a little.  Only because she wanted the shot in her arm like her big sisters, and she got it in her leg.  With all 3 I used the "shot blocker" courtesy of Omi, via Allison. 

Charlie

Since GG and NG are back in school, I have been enjoying a lot of one on one time with this little one.  She is funny...I mean really, really comical.  I have been calling her "Charlie" lately because her middle name is Charlotte.  She is such a Charlie!
So Charlie likes to color and will spend about a hour, I kid you not, making little squiggles on one piece of paper.  The kid has some major focus at a young age.  We have no idea where she got it from because her 4 other family members are all over the map :)

Climber

Baby C has entered the climbing stage!  Cannot take our eyes off her for a second.

Moo Park

Spring to the girls means "Moo Park" (their favorite park just minutes from school) has thawed out.

Sidenote: BP was so not cooperating for the camera.

Trouble

These two together are TROUBLE. They team up and watch out. They can make each other hysterical in seconds. I can only imagine what they will be like as teeange accomplices.

Cape May Cuties

Brown Bear

Baby C is OBSESSED with books. She would sit on one of our laps all day and listen to story after story. "Brown Bear, Brown Bear" is definitely one of her favorites. She actually asks for it. In an effort to get some housework done the other day I suckered BB into reading to her for me and it worked.

On a sidenote: BB wants to be a boy (not sure if I have mentioned this previously), hence the baggy soccer outfit. More on this later...this requires a seperate post. Haha!

Busy Bees

They love to be busy. Give them a project or a job and they are so happy, (and better behaved too).

This picture is pretty self-explanatory. I guess she gave up on the bottle at her side.

Super Soccer

BB would love to be 5 so she could play "super soccer". Here she is practicing inside on a snowy Saturday.

My babies with their "Bitty Babies"

Snow Day

We have had so any snow days lately I cannot even remember which day these pictures are from...but I can tell you that BP, BB, and Baby C all love the snow, don't mind the cold, and could care less about Spring coming quickly. I am trying to learn from them.

Sisters

I don't have a sister (just one incredible brother :) So this is all new to me...but these three are tight already. Their bond amazes me everyday. It's not all harmonious 24/7, but their spats never last long + they always hug + move on.

Just one funny sister story from today...

BP comes crying to me (dramatically crying, not real crying) that BB took her little glass Flaps dog (Basset Hound figurine)

I ask BB to please give it back

BB turns to BP and tells her she cannot give it back because she sold it. (All with a very straight + very serious face)

BP freaks out.

I have a hard time not laughing at BB, but also consoling BP who is now really crying.

We leave to ride Nutmeg and the whole incident is soon forgotten

Tonight as I tuck BP into bed I look down and notice the little figurine back on her nightstand.

I smile and point it out to BP who says... they brought it back?

I say... no sweetie I think your sister knew how much it meant to you. She must have put it back without us knowing sometime today.

BP says with a smile...mommy what are we going to do with her?

I say... I don't know BP

She quickly responds... I will just have to give her a big hug in the morning!

Larry, Curly + Moe

Who's who? You decide.

Somebody's getting big...really big. Too big...too fast :)

Sugar + Spice

They are like Night + Day, Sugar + Spice, Curly + Moe...it makes life interesting, very interesting.

Rain, Rain Go Away
