Nap Time Shenanigans

I was downstairs after putting the kids in their rooms for quiettime/naptime and all was quiet for about 40 minutes. I crept upstairs quietly to change the laundry around and when I got to the top of the stairs realized that the kids doors were open and rooms were empty. They had gone into the playroom and started a movie. I walked in and started to ask what they were doing when I saw Quinn's face on the couch. I had to stop myself from laughing and ran to get the camera. Apparently in addition to a little unauthorized tv time, there was some coloring time too...

Because She Can...

Is it raining outside you ask, umm no. Why is Quinn in her head to toe rain gear you ask, why not? What do you eat your dinner in?

Uncle Scotty Visits!!

We were so excited when Uncle Scotty decided to come for a last minute visit! We had a really good time hanging out and of course going to the gym! Unfortunately I didn't get many pictures from the weekend, but I did get some choice pics of a late night jam session in my living room! The kids had fun bossing Uncle Coot around and we really enjoyed his company. Miss you Coot!

Rock On!!

Jason finally got his XBOX 360 and got Rock Band to play with it. The kids love it and Aiden is actually pretty good at the drums (better than me). Quinn just likes to wear the guitar and be silly.

While Daddy is Away

Jason was out of town on business last week and Aiden was out of school all week, so I wanted to think of activities to keep us busy. We went into Seattle with Grandpa one day to Top Pot and a park. That was an event! The park was chaos!!! There were 2 adult men watching about 20 CRAZY kids ranging in age from 4 to about 8. They were all over the place, knocking over Aiden and climbing on top of the structures. I took the kids to the Pacific Science Center with my parents last Thursday and the LOVED it!!! Aiden got to see the planets and robotic dinosaurs, but his favorite part was the water area outside. I think the rest of us enjoyed the butterfly room the most. They want to take Daddy back to show him everything!

Quinn's Birthday (Day Two!)

Today we took the kids to see Playhouse Disney Live! in Seattle. It was fun for them, although Aiden spent all but the last 5 minutes of the show with his fingers in his ears. They both said they enjoyed it and would want to go again. After the show we stopped to take some pictures with the space needle and fountain. It was off the Grandma and Grandpa's after that. Mom made a yummy dinner for all of us and made the best princess cake ever!!! Quinn was the princess once again!

Quinn's Birthday

Quinn turns 3!!! We had our cupcakes in bed and she opened her presents from us and Auntie Jill and Uncle Brian, Auntie Jen and Grandma Karen and Grandpa Jim. At lunch time we had a little princess party with the kids from the neighborhood and Grandma and Grandpa. The kids had pizza and cupcakes and played. Quinn had a good time, she sure knew it was all about her. She was extra bossy and demanding, but it was her day.
