Big boy bed

after I found Jude sleeping standing up against the couch this weekend, I decided he should be able to sleep in a big bed.

8:30pm reading stories before bed

11:00pm butt in air, finally ASLEEP

Flipping Five

It's hard to believe my little girl that didn't walk until 17months is doing flips now. She combined her roundoff backhandspring on floor today for the first time, some serious frog legs, we will have to work on form next.

Manhattan Muckdogs

8 and under boys baseball team coming this spring! Trav, Cory and Darren decided on the name of the team over Turkey Dinner today at Marlatt. My comment was that we better get a pup for Christmas as the team mascot.

Jolly Old Saint Nicholas

Xander was SO excited about going to piano yesterday to get his X-mas songbook to practice up for a little mall performance coming up, we will start to here more than jingle bells!

Girls day out

Monroe and I spent the day in KC watching the older team girls compete in a gymnastics meet, they did such an awesome job, I was close to tears. We stopped at Cheesecake Factory on the way home, the lettuce wraps, WOW, the chocolate chip cookie dough cheesecake, AMAZING! Of course Monroe was missing the rest of her family by the time we got home, "It's really sad we are not with Jude, Xander and daddy", had a text from Xander as well asking when we would be home.

Pony to replace Maclaren?

Same day I found out the stroller (recalled) Jude rides in everyday to walk the kids to school has caused finger amputations, Jude and I saw an ad for this pony, what a sweet ride!

Beamhugger

Watched this on the "Whatever" blog I love to read, I think I might be one, a beamhugger.
