Winter Break

We have been on Winter Break this week and it has been glorious! Matt had off on Monday so we took the kids to daycare and spent the day shopping for our trip to Mexico. The 2 Cs and I have had lots of playtime and relaxation time (some of us more than others). 

My favorite day so far was yesterday. I invited Christopher's buddies over for a playdate and they played for hours. It was so nice to see Christopher have fun with all his friends. They played on the playset.. and their cars... with playdoh and then in the playroom. Lots and lots of running and laughing (and maybe a tad bit of arguing). 

Enjoy the pics! :) 

Christopher's valentines for the kids at daycare. Those teddy bears were quite time consuming and when I showed them to Christopher (he knew I was making them) I said- What do you think? And his response... I don't think. They are not cool. They look like people with legs- that's not a bear. Where is my Lego candy? He wanted to give Lego candy for his valentines but the little kids at daycare can't eat that since they are so young... so we saved that for Austin. 

Practicing after baseball practice. I will no longer call it t-ball because it is coach pitch until after 3 pitches and then they break out the tee. 

Christopher is in the middle. He was so giddy the whole time. He must have looked at me and Matt twenty times and hopped up and down with excitement. C did so well- I told him I didn't care if he hit the ball or caught the ball, BUT he better listen to the coach the first time he says something- and he did! He was so attentive- He still didn't step when he threw the ball...

Caleb has learned to spit and thinks it's just great to do while eating. Christopher doesn't help much- he just eggs him on the whole time. 

Such a sincere goodbye hug. 

Austin joined in on the hugging.

And then Elliot needed in! 

So fun!! :) 

Caleb got to meet his best friend last weekend! Austin's little brother was born 2 weeks ago. 

So not kid related... but my tray I made at craft night!

Uncle Anthony and Aunt Sara are fostering a little 10 week old puppy... so of course we had to go see it, especially since Christopher got to name it. Baseball, Spot and then he finally decided on Bolt. 

Ready to go to the basement. I love snapping pics like this because that face just tells it all.

Caleb drinking his coffee (sucking on his coffee teether). 

Valentine's Day at daycare.

Christopher's new game- racing two cars down the side and seeing who wins and ho lands in the pit. Mine somehow always went in the pit. 

I am not sure what came out of his mouth next. That finger point kills me. 

I love this picture! Christopher is the big kid at school. This little boy gets there the same time as us and every morning C says I hope he doesn't laugh at me today. I have tried to tell him that he isn't laughing at him, he thinks he is funny- but of course Christopher doesn't accept that as an answer.

We took donuts for V-Day. Christopher got a special heart donut.

Have a great weekend! 
Be kind.

February is Here!

Just a quick update!
Christopher is signed up for tee ball. Not sure when they start practice, but his first game is March 12th! I hope some of our athletic ability transferred to him and he won't be picking grass out there. We took Christopher out for a special night with just the three of us- he got all his gear and then we took him to the Melting Pot. I totally thought we were going to like Chick-fil-a and Matt decided we should take him somewhere fun. He definitely did have fun... and it's so true. When you tell someone not to do something, they want to do it more. He stuck his finger where the pot goes of course. No burn though- lucky duck. 
We started Caleb on solids last week. He tried sweet potatoes and this week we did carrots. I think he is getting more used to it and actually seemed to like the carrots. He is still such a good, sweet baby. He loves his exersaucer and jumperoo. I still haven't tried the door jumper yet- that may be coming soon. 
Enjoy!

After morning nap time snuggles- aren't Saturdays the best? I
 wish Sundays were snuggly, but church calls.

Caleb and Christopher at 5 months. Caleb is still so much skinnier... even though he has filled out pretty nicely. Sometimes when Christopher runs at me, I have flashbacks to days of Anthony running at me to hit me. C1 certainly looks like Anthony in that pick!

Getting all his baseball gear for tee ball.

Family workout.... if you put the word family in front of anything, Christopher is all about it. Dinner? No, I'm not hungry... Family dinner? Okay, I'm sitting next to daddy. Hug? No I'm okay... Family hug? YAY! You can imagine his excitement for a family workout! 

Gorgeous weather this week meant playtime with Austin.... and all they wanted to do was play Let's Go Fishing. 

Playtime loving. 

So big!!! He loves carrots! :) 

Daddy needed a picture of both boys for his work... This was it. 

Bouncing in his jumperoo.

Christopher was jacked up about this! 
He got to go to the Notre Dame girls basketball game at Georgia Tech... and ride a shuttle there.. and stay in a hotel (and it has a REFRIGERATOR, MOMMY!!!). Mom said he talked the whole way from daycare to GA Tech. 

We went to practice on Sunday. Christopher remembered some stuff from sports camp... but he also didn't want any advice. Finally, we got fed up with him not listening about stepping while throwing and we left. 
It's going to be a long season...

Horsey Nana!


That's it!
Have a great weekend!!!!
Be kind.
