toys, toys, toys.....

my kiddies are very blessed. they have more toys then any child would ever need.



that is why every two months or so, i go through their toys and put a couple big plastic tubs full away in the closet. they never notice. in fact it makes it easier for them to find things to play with because they aren't overwhelmed with the sheer volume of toys. then when we seem to need a little change i switch the toys out. it is my favorite trick for winter when we spend most of our time in the basement/playroom.

do you ever rotate your kiddies toys like this?

these days

hi friends. things have been very low key around here. lots of staying in jammies late, snuggling on the couch watching toy story 3 and just plain being cozy!
i am sure cabin fever will set in soon but for now we are loving it.

this morning we got up and started our normal tuesday race to get out the door to get sassy to school on time. i had already packed sassy's lunch, made breakfast and poured myself my coffee which i was going to chug down before i got everyone dressed, then a wonderful thing happened, the local news flashed that gracie's school was closed for the day on account of snow! so i warmed my cup of joe to a nice sipping temperature and settled in on the couch with the ipad and good morning america. bliss.

today will be a good day. we will definitely stay cozy for most of the day


but i have promised gracie we will play in the snow. it will be noah's first time out, yay!

i am hoping to post some pictures of our fun later today but we shall see if my littles allow it.

also, say a little prayer for my little noey baby he is having a procedure tomorrow morning :(. he has to have his circumcision redone, ouch!!! my poor little buggy, this will be his third surgery in a year. it just plan stinks. i think he deserves a new "talking buz lightyear" for being such a trooper, what do you think?

happy tuesday!

Saturday

good morning! last night we went to a big outdoor light show with the kiddies.



as you can see sassy loved it and noey loved his shoes! all in all it was a great night and possibly a new family tradition!

this morning we are just hanging in our p.j.'s watching movies.


corey and i are going out this afternoon/evening for a shopping dinner date for my birthday woot woot!

happy weekend!

busy but cute

things are busy around these parts.

but i am never to busy to take pictures of my sweet, cute, perfect, all around amazing kiddos!





happy thursday!

random

1. noah woke up at 6am. i let him stay in his crib till 6:30am. i know i am mean.

2. gracie is lovin' school!

she asks to go, almost everyday.


3.i was asked to be room mom for her class. yay! i always figured i would be a very involved parent so i might as well start now!

4. my kids fought over a baby wipe yesterday. yes you read that right a baby.wipe. not one of the many toys they have been gifted but essentially a wet nap used for cleaning butts (NO IT WAS NOT A USED WIPE).

5. while i miss my sass painfully while she is at school, it has been lovely to spend time with my noey baby.

6. speaking of noey baby, he is growing up so fast. he is talking a ton and walking all over the world :( i may have to change his nick name to noey "boy" because he is so close to losing the "baby" about him.


7. love my kids. love my hubby. love my life.

happy thursday

Random Tuesday....

1. love this kid. even though sometimes she makes me so crazy i want someone to put me in time-out.


2. my kiddies and the neighbor kids have taken to sitting on my front porch to drink juice/eat popsicles. loving it!


3. noey loves to swim.

4. gracie, who has never ever given us any bed time trouble is suddenly impossible to put down at night. last night it took two hours to get her to bed!! what the heck?

5. i have a ton of shows waiting for me on dvr but have no time to watch them.

6. i need to develop new pictures. the last time i did was when noah was three months old.

7. i need all new make-up. i have absolutely no make-up. any suggestions?
