Boy or Girl?

Can you tell? (These kind of nudy pictures are okay right?)

Feet

Face (or as John said, "our Skeletor baby")

Profile, looking down

Have you figured it out yet? ('cause that feet picture really gives it away:)

Off Track

I'm not sure yet if I am a fan of this off track business.  Honestly, I think I would rather have a longer summer.  It is just easier to entertain your kids in the summer ("go outside and play" being my favorite form of entertainment).  I feel like my kids mostly watched TV, so I have to post the few things that we did do so that I feel a little better about all the TV watching.  Did I mention this third baby is wiping me out!

We did a painting craft, Connor a snake and Sydney a butterfly:

We went to Classic and tried out their rollerskating rink and their "jungle"

She actually jumped right back up and didn't even cry.  Connor made it once around the track and he was done and went back to his scooter.  I think Sydney made 2 or 3 times around before she went back to the scooter.   Now that she has roller skated, Sydney is ready to move on to ice skating.  Thank you Olympics.
This was the "jungle"

We even got up the courage and asked some neighbors to go to a bouncy house with us.  Why is it so much harder to find friends once you get in a house?  Is it the area?  or is the fact that we are not forced outside by horrible living conditions?  I guess we just have to work a little harder.

Oh, and I can't forget the "picnic".  Sydney has discovered the joy of her princess tea set.  I should mention that they did this a few times and on the last time Connor decided that he was a dog and needed to lap up his "tea" (water) which ended up all over the kitchen floor.  Hence the "last time".

I will have to say that I am so happy when I hear these two laughing and playing together.  For the most part, they are really good friends and I hope that it will last throughout their lives.

Happy V-day

John and I are not big fans of V-day.  I do like flowers and chocolates, but they are way to expensive for this holiday and the restaurants are so packed that it 's not worth doing that either.  But, I think we have found a tradition that we really like.

 Candle light dinner with the kids (we had Salmon, which is out of the norm for us, so I thought they would think it was fancy, but when I told the kids what we were having, Connor said, "Aw, I want crab!"  What kid says that?)

 and Chocolate Fondue with the kids.

Super Bowl Sunday

I love having reasons to get together with family.  Not great pictures, but good food, good company, good conversation (was it a good game?) and just plain fun to have some of our family over.  Now we just need a bigger space so we can fit everyone.
