Bologna & String Cheese Necklace


Rather than eating his bologna and string cheese, Walter decided they would be much better ingredients for jewelry making.

Hazel has been obsessed with wearing her brothers' clothes lately. Here she chose Walter's swim gear. Not sure what is going on with the toy construction goggles though...



The iPad has been a helpful addition to our playtime activities, but it is hard balancing other hands on activities and equal time slots for each child to have access to the iPad. Even Wally likes to take his turn!

Thank you grandma Paulette for the Valentine's Day package! We loved our tattoos, activities, gift cards and candy!


Hazel's masterpiece entitled Peter Pan. How fitting.

Gus's basketball season wrapped up this past weekend. Josh had fun coaching. Hazel is still doing gymnastics, those two started a month of swimming lessons last night, and both will particpate in baseball this spring as well. And the Busy begins.




Kennedy and Parker played with us on Monday for President's Day vaca and who knew Kenny could braid? Hazel has insisted her hair be worn like this every day since.



Swimming lessons last night.

Haircuts, Portraits & Pirates


Walter had his first official hair cut last week. He was getting his two year portraits taken so it seemed fitting (although I am still not convinced he needed a cut yet- the kid has no hair!).


 

Hazel started up gymnastics again a few weeks ago.

At Walter's portrait session I had two no-so-helpful-but-very-eager siblings tag along. A trying hour but we made it through it.

A few Fridays ago Hazel and I attended the traveling Disney Pirate/Princess show. She LOVED it so much! I saw hundreds of little girls dressed like Princess Sofia, but only one little girl dressed like Jake. I sure love my Hazel.


Us at the show.



She was in a trance the whole time. If I tried to talk to her or engage her with questions she would yell at me tell me to be quiet. She took the show very seriously, but ya know, it isn't every day that you get to see the real Jake and Capt. Hook!
