March Misc

What did we ever do before iphones to document our lives???

We were so sad when our sweet friend Mr. Stewart stopped working at the hospital.  Shortly after it was raining and we were running late and I texted Ryan this picture with the caption #bringbackStuart!  

Whitney found and sent me this hilarious picture of us in high school on a mission trip. Sister memories lol. 

I feel like I spend half my life cleaning the kitchen and the other half doing laundry.  This day Ryan was working and we had been at the gym and the thought of fixing lunch and cleaning that kitchen again was more than I could take so I took at the kids to Panera instead. Afterwards I thought, "you know times are rough when you would rather eat out alone with two 2 year olds, a 4 year old, and a 7 year old just so you can avoid the kitchen cleanup!" 

Drew baby got his own private table.

I have been hesitant to allow them to not use high chairs because I don't want anyone wandering off but they did great!

On weekends we have been trying to be more intentional about splitting the twins up.  This Sunday it was Andrew's turn to go with James and me to the dollar tree and to Target. It's so funny how many times he asked where Kate was. 

Another man room sleepover!

My friend Josie had the brilliant idea of going to the urology clinic parking lot on a Saturday and letting the kids all ride bikes. It is the perfect big loop for them and the weather was great. 

We love days where we can walk to the park 

I hear my name "mom, mommy, mama, etc." a lot throughout the day.  This morning I decided for a laugh to tally how many times I heard it from 7:15 a.m. until 7:23 a.m.  while the kids were having breakfast. I ended up recording 27 times and the funny thing is I know it was actually a good bit more than that, I just couldn't tally fast enough! 

Believe it or not we had another snow day with no snow so we had a breakfast date while A and K were at speech. 

The boys' bathroom had a pedestal sink in it that had absolutely no storage. I was so tired of having toothbrushes dropped on that nasty floor and never having anywhere to put anything so one Friday Ryan and I went to Lowes and picked this one out. It is so much more functional!  

This was the main reason we chose this one.  Three drawer compartments.  Three boys. Every one gets their own little space.  Before we know it Andrew will be in there too!

Date night!

One Sunday we made a quick trip to Greenville and I glanced in the back and witnessed a moment in history: All FOUR kids asleep at the same time! 

Love this crazy crew! But where are Andrew's pants?!?!

We have taken many a selfie while waiting in the rehab hospital lobby 

Our preschool does an art to remember fundraiser and when I saw Harrison's I burst out laughing.  His self portrait is so funny to me! 

I would love to know how long it took this class to make all of these. 

"Look at these beautiful flowers mommy" 

Snack time in Harrison's classroom 

The box that the new vanity came in has provided hours of entertainment.  Their favorite activity was using a "saw" (plastic knife) to cut it up. Hey whatever keeps them busy! 

Time to dye eggs 

I originally planned for this to be an activity for everyone and then decided my nerves couldn't take it. Andrew and Kate dyed eggs at school so I decided that was sufficient. :) 

Ending the month with Friday night pizza!
