Just Us

I love these piano pics. I just can't get enough of them. The big boys have been taking piano lessons for 3 years now so they play a lot. The little squad wants to play just like their big brothers, so they are always climbing up there and pounding the keys. Usually it's just one or two of them at a time, but I love it when all 4 tiny toddlers play together.

OK so this is from our last trip to the park, they are just getting way to big for me way too fast. Now they like to climb the big kid stuff, scares the crap out of me!

I just had to take this pic, Mrs Becky was trying to enjoy her meal, but the little squad kept eating her food. Cause you know that everyone else's food always taste better than your own. lol

Since the weather is finally nice AGAIN, we are walking in the evenings. I thought this was so cute; Daddy and his little ducklings.

BG and Allee holding hands; BG thinks the little ones need to be holding someones hand so she usually goes around making each hold her hand for awhile. She is such a mother hen. And look at that hair on her, it is getting so long and thick. It is just beautiful.

A daddy and Bella moment

This just cracked me up. This walk was prior to getting the choo choo, in fact it's the last walk we did with the Runabout stroller. They don't want to stay in the stroller for long now; they like to walk and explore. But they all wanted to push the stroller.

And this is just too cute! I just love seeing 5 of things. I was thinking about how it's just so common place for me to have 5 of things. Like when I get out a sippy of milk, I get out 5. And how a simple task of putting shoes on to go outside to play is a 10 minute ordeal. And they all want to be the FIRST to get their shoes on. I'm sure that most people can't fathom having to get or do 5 of everything ALL the time, yet I would find it strange to just do 1 of something.

Allee

One of the evenings we were having a bad storm so we couldn't go outside, we packed the squad up and went to Burger King playland. It was so nice; we were the only ones there.

Aiden

Ashton

Poor Ashton, he usually gets the raw end of the deal. Those girls just run all over him, and he lets them. But not this time! He actually got the milk shake first and he was soo funny. He was soo quiet about it, just kinda slipped to the side, all sly like, quietly slurping down the chocolate goodness. He did eventually share, but not until he had his fill. Good for you Ashton!

First knee scrape of the season, and yes, it is Allee.

Adre likes to entertain the little squad. He does all these projects with them, even takes them aside one-on-one to color or do crafts. Or he'll do science experiments while they watch. He really is so good at including them. But sometimes it's the simplest things that impress them the most. He took a bottle of water and added food color:

WOW! They were all so intrigued!

Chuga-chuga choo choo; 3 of them trying to slide down that tiny slide together. lol

And now 5 of them trying to stand, yes at one point they were all standing, on top of that box at the same time! And yes, this did end badly (but I just had to get a pic anyway). Allee ended up falling.

Again with the piano pics, I told you I just can't get enough of them

I think Allee has a real interest in playing. She really tries to mimic Lex by spreading her fingers and actually pressing one key at a time (as opposed to simply pounding all the keys as the others do)

Look at that face! She's doing chicken lips by sucking in both cheeks. lol That girl is too funny; she has so much personality.

Color time with Adre
