Happy Birthday Mark!

It's Thursday night.  I think it started snowing.  It's not supposed to be a big snowfall and hopefully it's the last of the year.  They say it's going to be in the 70's next week!  I'm still staying up too late so let's get on with this.  Ariel and I did a little shopping.

I guess it was too much for someone.

We bought our presents.  Let's go!

It was Mark's birthday last weekend.  Melissa really wanted to have a party for him but he wouldn't let her.  We ended up going out to dinner.

Cute family!

 Eli hanging with Marsha.

 Who is the present for?

 Practicing their kitchen drum band.

 Music class!  Small group.

 This girl is 8 months old!  Come on boys!

 Eli couldn't keep his eyes off of Ms. Marilyn.

 Play this video, it's cute!


Have a great weekend!

Everyday Should Be Pajama Day

We have a wedding this weekend.  It's been years since we have been to one.  We don't know what to wear, what to expect.  We are looking forward to seeing some long lost friends though.  It will be great to have a night of dancing and drinking away from the kids! Ariel's class does a letter a week.  Her show and tell corresponds to the letter.  This week is Q.  Everyone already has brought in quilts and quarters.  We found one of our Ride the Duck quackers.  The Ride the Duck is a tour through Philadelphia where they use WW2 amphibious vehicles that go on land and water.  They give everyone these obnoxious whistles that sound like ducks.  Ariel's teacher is going to love that, not!

Good morning Eli!

They don't want to snuggle in bed with us in the morning.  They want to get on the floor and get in trouble.

Soccer time!

 Some action shots.

 Ariel is ready for cheerleading.

 Ariel's morning jump into the cribs.

 Pajama day at school!

 Ariel had to take Aden's elephant.

 Here's a flashback to Aden's pajama day with Jake and Reid!

A fun visit with dear friends.

 Ariel has never been that tall before.

 Trying clementines.

 Good night everyone!

The Future Scientists

It's Tuesday night.  Let's just get into some more pics from last week.  The boys loves that chair.

 Science Fair at school.  Aden wanted to be involved but we didn't get our act together.  Next year.

 Joseph timed how long the flavor lasted with different gums.

 Aden seemed interested in several of the experiments.

 Ariel was into the rockets.

 Liftoff.

 One of Aden's friends made paper airplanes for everyone.

 Some of the kids gave out candy to the people that listened to their experiments.  Ariel was determined to get 2 pieces for some reason.  Aden's teacher was one of the judges.  Ariel followed her to someone that had Jolly Ranchers.  She stood next to Mrs. Caraccio patiently and when Mrs. Caraccio got her candy for listening, she asked me if Ariel could have it.  So Ariel got the 2 she wanted.

 Swim class!

 Still not getting any smiles.

 Christian is always excited.

 Noah didn't get upset when I moved away.
