Pay it Forward

So, here's how it works: the first 3 people to leave a comment on this post will receive, at some point during the year a handmade gift from me. What it will be and when it will arrive is a total surprise! The catch is that you must participate as well. Before you leave your comment, write up a pay it forward post on your blog to keep the fun going (or copy and paste like I did). Then come back, let me know you're going to play and sit back and anticipate the arrival of your gift! Come and play!!

Making Cupcakes

Julia decided that she wanted to make cupcakes for her cousin Brandon's birthday. She did almost all the work. I only helped a little. Erik "helped" in his way, too. He liked pouring in the water and cleaning the spoon. caroline came to help decorate at the end.

Erik Sleeping

erik has been getting out of his bed at night. We found him out in the hallway curled up. He seemed quite comfortable.

St. Patrick's Day Fun

I know this has taken a little time to post, but it seems like it is hard to find time to get everything done. So, anyway - We had a fun time on St. Patty Day. We constructed traps to try to capture a leprechaun. However, the leprechaun was sneaky. He got out of our trap, but ended up leaving a little "treasure" behind - some toy coins and chocolate. The kids really loved all of the celebrating.

Erik's Big Boy Bed

Erik had been climbing out of his crib at night, so, we decided to put him in a toddler bed. We were really hoping to keep him in the crib for a while longer, but he was determined to climb out. He looks like such a big boy now.

Toothless Wonder

So all Caroline wants for Easter is her two front teeth!

Rock Band

OK - So we got Rock Band for Christmas, knowing Brad and I would probably enjoy playing with it. But, the kids LOVE playing rock band. Caroline especially loves being the lead singer. Erik, who loves to bang on anything, is our resident drummer. Julia switches around on what she likes. She really loves to dance and groove when she sings, though.
