Happy Easter

Happy Easter!

Happy Birthday Grandpa, have a fun day.

Lately Leah has been practicing her cutting skills. She will sit forever and cut a piece of paper into the tiniest pieces. She can actually follow lines pretty well if there is something printed on the paper she can cut it out. I thought this was a great shot of her working on her latest skill.

Here's the next picture, yes that is her hair on the carpet, and on the slide although you can't see it very well. I really debated about taking a picture of this (Obviously I don't want to encourage self-haircuts) but I figure I might as well laugh about it because there's nothing else you can do. If you can't tell where she cut her hair look at the left side of her hair. Her hair was in a little ponytail at the top of her head when she cut it, she must of pulled it down and needed to know what would happen if I use the sissors on my hair.
Before I confuse anyone by this disgusting picture, don't worry it's a loaf of bread. Trent wanted to bring some rye bread for a potluck lunch he was having at work for St. Patrick's Day. He found a recipe and I followed it. I thought no big deal, I've baked many loaves of bread before this is just one more recipe. I don't know what went wrong, but it didn't rise. It was this heavy brick of dough that I ended up chucking it at the garbage can and it took out the phone on the way. Trent saved the dough and put it in the oven.... this is how it turned out. We found a different recipe for a different kind of bread and he took that to work. Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I thought you might enjoy these pictures. Shea has learned to crawl, her favorite place to go is the windows at the front of our house. She loves looking outside. We all can't wait for spring to go out and enjoy it.

My crazy life

Last week Abby decided she was going to run away...let's just say we were having a difficult day. She went upstairs and packed a few things she brought a blanket, her purse then she came and got some things from the kitchen...cookies and water. Then she ran up the street. About five minutes later I noticed she was in our backyard, eating her cookies. I took this picture without her knowing. Don't worry, she was back home within 20 minutes.
I went grocery shopping the other day. Sometimes it seems like a never ending task, I'm always grocery shopping. I brought Shea and Leah in and was going back out to bring in the groceries and found Shea like this. I thought it was pretty funny.
Would someone please wash this child's face and maybe comb her hair?
During this same shopping excursion Brynn was asking if she could watch a movie when we got home. I said no, that she needed to play with something. She was all mad and said she wasn't coming in until I let her watch a movie. So I closed the garage door and went inside. I came out with the camera, she was still pouting but decided to smile for the camera. The outcome? Brynn came inside and played puppets with Leah for the rest of the afternoon.
