One Little, Two Little, Three Little Indians....

Grandma and Grandpa Maas came to visit.  Grandma Maas had a picture with Mitchell.

 Another picture with Mitchell and Ben...Two Little Indians!

 Then Annie jumped in...Three Little Indians!

 Emily was not to be forgotten...Four Little Indians!

Crazy Hat Day

Really, the joy of special days at school...!  In order for the kids to take advantage of these days, they are supposed to bring a dollar to donate to a charity.  On Thursday night, after bedtime because of softball practice, Ben reminded me it was crazy hat day.  So, the three of us stayed up late creating special masterpieces!  Ben's was a multi-eyed frog with a fly caught in it's tongue.  Annie's was the crazy fish from Nemo when Marlin and Dory are down so far in the ocean that it is dark.  She had a 'light' hanging in from to attach fish.  Such creative kiddos!

 Emily needed a cute picture also!  She's such a trooper to still enjoy what Ben and Annie are doing, with the hope that one day her turn will come.

First Eats

Mitchell had a week without living up to his nickname: the poopenator!  The kids and I decided we needed to give him a little prunes to help him move things along.  Despite the picture below, he loved them! 

 I had to hold his hands down as he wanted to help.  We just did about 2 teaspoons full.  Sadly, he hasn't needed it lately, but it's about time for solids.  We are now back to nursing about every two hours, and it's cramping my style...as if I had one!

 Yes, a family event!  Everyone cheered for him with each bite he took! 

St. Paddy's Day

I admit, I don't get my kids new Easter outfits and they only get holiday clothes if I find them on clearance for the next year, but I just couldn't resist this little outfit...

 He is such a charmer!  'Mommy's Little Charmer'  We just all love him to pieces!!!  Pictures don't do Mitchell justice!
