I swear I feed this KID!

Okay so this killed me. Five minutes after I took away the reminents of eggs(see below). I found him up on the island in the middle of the kitchen devouring the pumpkin bread I made yesterday. The kid is HUNGRY! And I swear I feed him LOTS.

He is SO FUNNY!

Peyton's Eggs!

So I made SIX, yes six eggs for Connor, Peyton and I to share on that BIG plate you see. I ate a couple bites. Connor ate none. And Peyt, well he ate the rest. I swear this kid is an eating machine. I forgot to mention prior to this he had opened the fridge, himself, and got himself a yogurt...opened it and ....so... I gave him a spoon. CHOW DOWN. Watch this video, its hysterical. He tries to deny his hunger at the end, with a firm.."NO!"

I just love these moments in the morning. They are Priceless.

Typical Tuesday Afternoon...

Sofie and Sean..say cheese.

Sweet Girls~!

The kids posin'!

Tire Swing....I wanna get down now....NO..do it again.

THis is funny!

Just can't get over how cute these guys are!

Within the first 5 minutes of arrival. Connor, Sara and Sofie began to do "ring-around-the rosie!"
Im sorry I just had to pose them for this. (before we all got dirty.)
Now we are getting dirty. Tire swing is always a hit!
Sofie is a doll even though she scootched Peyt out of the car. hahaha
Glorious Mallorious...I wish I couldve captured the dance routine that accompanied.

Oreo Snackin'

This picture is how snack time began with old run of the mill goldfish. ho-hum.

Oh! and then Connor remembered that the waiter at Red, Hot and Blue (best potato salad ever), last night, had given him a couple Oreo cookies. His inability to eat dinner denied him the privilege of partaking last night. Furthermore, he had never had an Oreo.

We then broke them out and HAD TO share with his brother and pal, Scarlett.

Seriously, If you could have seen the look on their faces and the squealing when they realized they too were going to indulge.

It was truly hysterical.

These guys crack me up.
Connor, first, sharing his Oreo with his pal Scarlett.

Peyton anxiously awaiting his turn.
Ummm. ...I think she likes it.

Check Peyt in the back savoring the chocolate cookie.

Peyton is amazed with the middle!

Scarlett needed a helmet she was so excited. hahaha

"Moooooore!....please."

The Lunch Bunch

This is just too cute~!

Peyton, Mallory and Sofie enjoying some Macaroni n' Cheese.
Sara and Connor having some Mn'C too
The Mac Crew!
This was so dear. I was able to capture the moment right after Connor gave Sara a flower from his garden. They immediately joined hands and took off running. priceless.
Having fun in the back yard.

The Finger Painting Expo

So Picasso and Monet got together the other day and told me they really wanted to paint with water colors. We used Thomas the train engine templates.

Look at the pensive thought processes. Color distribution was quite a concern.
Oh the tongue hanging out just tells you how much heart Peyt is putting into his artwork.
Lets stop for a brief Hambone....CHeese! and (oblige Mommy).
"Peyt you could really use a little more red over here on Thomas' steam engine.

Did I say that I love my job?!

Connor Demonstrating how to crack an egg

Today we made Pumpkin Pancakes. They were scrumptious! I think it was all due to Connor's egg demo! Peyton was impressed.

Chef 1 and Chef 2

SO. This morning we decided we would make pumkin spice bread...mmmm...can you smell it? Anyway, the boys strapped on their aprons and we started cooking. The bread turned out great! DEEEEeeeelicious!

My Little Monkeys!

Say cheese. I mean AAHHH!

Snack time with bananas is always a nice break in the day!

Oh my the line walking to chapel was SOooo Cute. Of course Peyton and Mallory go to enjoy the festivities too. Mi-Mi and Pop-Pop were there to watch, enjoy and lend a few helping hands. It was a really special day for all of us! Connor is such a big boy..and it seems he is very social at school. He's got a couple friends which is neat for his mommy to see.
