Costume Party Fun

One of our neighborhood friends celebrates her birthday in October, and this year she had a costume party. It was the perfect way to celebrate and get a little more use out of our costumes! Max and Ben are Transformers Rescue Bots this year (Bumblebee and Chase), and we had two Elsa's as well. It was pretty adorable when we put the costumes on them, and they immediately started singing Let it Go. 

Max took his costume very seriously. That salute was serious business.

Two more of our friends in the neighborhood teamed up with us to be Rescue Bots as well. We got a shot with Optimus Prime, but we'll have to get the whole group on Halloween.

Addie really wanted to be Elsa the Bumblebee...I think she would have preferred a Rescue Bot costume too!

March is Over

This year is already flying by! Here are a few pictures from the end of March...

 I put this picture on Insta, because every time I see it I start singing, "they see me rollin...." in my head. Every. Single. Time.

 We tend to feed the kids first and then eat breakfast, but inevitably one of them (or all of them) will climb up on the table to get in on our breakfast too. Emmie was all over Daddy's oatmeal.

 Aunt Amy got us Koala Crates for Christmas, and we have a lot of fun when they come. This month...bugs! 

 Pictures this particular Sunday didn't go so well. Drama, drama, drama.

 Sweet brothers

 Emmie...that face

 Addie

And more Addie...with her necklaces and stroller all ready to go.

Weekend Round Up

 All ready for the day...Emmie was all about it.

 Addie wasn't really feeling picture time.

 Max and Mommy date at the local bakery. He was a fan.

 A trip to Walmart, and this guy left with an umbrella. He's been pretty attached to it ever since. The boys were making some noise after bedtime this weekend so Mike went to go check on them. Max was just sitting in bed with his umbrella open over his head. It's important to always be prepared, I guess.

 Addie took control of our neighbor's stroller.

 Emmie playing twin mom.

 I'm working on ponytails. Addie is getting there.

 I was proud of Mike for finding $1 at Walmart, so I made him take a picture.

 Why have 1 bow when you can have 4?

 Max thought he probably needed to get in on the bow action too.

Ben enjoying a cupcake. You know...because cupcakes.

Randomness Part Eleventy Billion

 Emmie thinks she's Batman.

 You know...just hanging out without my pants.

 They saw I was taking pictures and posed themselves like this.

Clearly I take way too many pictures.

 That time I forgot the stroller and had to take the wagon to church. 

 What do you mean these trash bags aren't a toy?

 Watching our friends in our awesome local marching band.

Nothing like lunch at Sam's.

The One With All the Pics From October

I took away Ben's paci, so he had to get creative. That's a piece of fake broccoli.

Addie (and Emmie, not pictured) loves her cowboy boots.

Silly Emmie

Trying to fit in the cabinets (E left, A right)

Fancy baseball rings.

Addie refused to nap one Saturday, so she got a trip by herself to WalMart. She thought she was hot stuff.

Ben? Or some really odd super hero?

First "big boy" pajamas

All ready for church in our boots

Addie...future librarians of America...it's a thing

I ran into WalMart for one thing, and I didn't want to get the stroller out. This went a lot better than I thought it would.

He kept wondering why everyone was asking him for a hug...

Painting pumpkins while Aunt Amy and Papa were in town.

Grocery shopping is hard work...
