March Madness

The girls were always pumped when I turned on NCAA tourney games to which I had no complaints.  While watching Florida State and Xavier, in someone's eyes, a particular player looked awfully familiar for some reason.  Oh and how did it all end?  North Carolina: 2017 National Champs!

Mae: "He looks like Ashley."

I mean is there a better sight?

Trumped

For December 1st, we were going to start our #LightTheWorld advent calendar by taking goodies to the police station.  Even though President Trump "Backs the Blue" - he made it so I couldn't participate in the event because of his victory tour in Cincinnati.  My family took care of it though.  Had I gotten there 30 seconds sooner, I wouldn't have say there on a shut down highway for close to 2 hours.  The bright side was I was at the front of the line so when it finally moved - I cruised home!

The start

It was fun to see the other side completely clear out

Anything to stay entertained...the sunset in my mirror!

Post sunset

Still here

Creepy Neighbors

Ummm...our dolls have a creepy neighbor that likes to peep through the window. 

Stinky Feet

A day in the life...

This is what our nights are like:

Box Falling

Sometimes fun games just somehow come to be.  Who knew what could be done with just 2 big boxes?

I sent this shot to Lindsey who wasn't home

No pants!

 

 

 

Surviving Kroger

I've always said no to the terrible car on the cart thing at Kroger.  I finally gave in.  When first starting out I always stopped immediately as driving that thing around is about 10 times louder.  It was worth getting over the loudness though - shopping with a 5 and 3 year old is WAY easier with the car!  It took some getting used to though - I bumped into a lot of things forgetting my size. 

Hiding Spot

Brooklyn loves her cabinet hiding spot - she even started bringing her friends. 

Uhh - no on the stroller

Two Peas in a Pod

I've had people tell me how much Anna looks like me.  Well, where does she get that mouth?  Well...

Tire Blowout

I have seen flat tires, but I've never seen a tire look like this.  One minute I'm sitting at a light, the next I'm trying to figure out why my car won't stay on the road.  When I saw my tire, it was one of the craziest flat tires I've ever seen.  Luckily, I would need new tires this fall/winter anyway. 

 

All About That Brook

Even though she tried to dominate the wedding pictures, this post is just random shots of our little Brook, Brookster, the B-ster, the Beast, Brookyn, Brooky, Brokelyn, the Cookie - yes, Brooklyn. 

Sorry sucker, there's no dishes for you to yank out of there

She LOVES babies

Let's just hope she doesn't carry real ones around like that

She loves to eat

Pretty blue eyes

Sometimes she eats so long that this happens

But then she wakes up and eats some more

And then there's her sisters

What's on that kid's shirt?

Impressive that Mae could get her to wear a tiara long enough to get a picture of it

Brooklyn looks lucky Chucky in this picture - and Anna, well, she looks like something other than herself

This one is a little better

Surviving Winter

The beginning of 2015 - winter!  Who said you can't have fun during the winter months?

Thankfully - it's not her time yet

Lovin' the snow

Free winter snacks

Ummm...I don't really know what Anna's doing

Inside fun

 

Playing at higher levels to protect their toys from Brooklyn

Hiding from Brooklyn?

Dance parties

Things are getting crazy

Oh - and Anna has a hardcore crush on Kristoff from Frozen

 

I'm sure he would love her too with a face like this

Brooklyn just wanted to eat her way through winter

A nice relaxing read

Careful - Anna's watching you

Playing doctor - or just stealing toys from Mae and Anna

Climbing the snow mountain

Riding the snow mountain

Frozen stiff?  Or just a stiff coat?

Snowman building

She came out late for the glory

Mae did all the work, but got tired



A shot from inside

Admiring our work

Cheese!

Our snowman is shocked!

Our snowman had a neighbor crush

I think she's done here

Onto the snow mountain

Good times

Done with winter
