From the time the sun rises to well passed the time it sets, our little ones are non stop. It's like they are powered by the sun! We've been staying busy and getting creative with ways to keep them RUNNING all over the place. It's amazing, they NEVER get tired and are always up for more. Seriously, you'd have to see it to believe it. Thank goodness it's time to sign them up for soccer!! YAY!
Speaking of signing them up.... next week is Kindergarten registration!!!!! HOLY SMOKES, can you BUUULEEEEEEEEEVE how OLD they are!?! I am going to cry like a baby all the way through the paper work. Wasn't I just trying to figure out how to make formula in bulk?
Anyway, here are some cell phone shots I've taken over the last couple weeks. It's been fun trying to keep up with them...
THE DOCTOR
I took the kids with me to MY doctor. They were SO GOOD and grown up.
By the way, how NICE is this waiting room? They had wild turkeys in the tree just outside, super cool.
BURNING DAYLIGHT
After a morning at the gym, they NEEDED some fresh air. So, I pulled out this HUGE oven box and we made an afternoon out of it. That evening we brought it inside and they turned it into the "dungeon" of their princess tent... clever little boogers.
Libs hard at work
Seriously FUNNY Ally
Seriously SERIOUS Molly
When we were decorating the box, we still had some daylight to burn. So, we made a hop scotch grid and they had, "THE MOST FUN EVER"- Libby
FINANCIAL LESSONS
For Christmas my mom gave them each a Toys R Us gift card, their "own money." I decided to let them sit with me on the computer and pick out his/her own gifts. It actually turned into a fantastic lesson about patience and money! We've done this inside the store before as well- online was WAY more fun and less overwhelming for all of us.
ALL 4 kiddos picked a stroller and a baby to "push around the neighborhood like REAL mommies and daddies." I LOVE the way those little minds think. Of all the things they could have had, THIS is what they truly wanted. So so so so cute!

Libby & Celessa, Molly & Lizzy, Ally & Alyssa
Russ & Baby Russ
Aunt Barb said it best, "Hey, boys grow up to be Daddies too!"
I LOVED that AND he REALLY is a great little daddy to his baby. Little Russ has not left his side since he/she arrived in the mail. ;)
They COULD NOT wait to walk them around the neighborhood.

Russ, Molly, Libby (rockin' the model arm), Ally
Mommy Ally
So sweet.
I can see them like this in 30 years with REAL babies!
-Ally and Libs
Big Daddy Russ keeping little Russ happy!
These babies and strollers have gone with us pretty much everywhere for a week. I just went to check on my sleeping peeps and Russ is cuddled up, sound asleep, with his baby.
HOW TO CURE A COLD?
This weekend the kiddos and I caught a nasty cold. BUT, God forbid that slow us down! After a couple days inside our gang started to lose it. Russ was falling apart at the seams when Molly said to me...
"Mom, we cannot take one more movie.
We have GOT to get outside for some fresh air."
-Molly Lou Ann
"I can't take it anymore!"
-Russ
"Triple please can we go outside?"
-Ally
"Oh mommy, we can just bring lots of tissue!"
-Libby
The truth is, they just DO NOT like to be inside. AND Molly had a good point. So, we tossed on some warm play clothes, packed my pockets full of tissue, and hit the trails for a picnic adventure. We are so lucky to live where we do.
Russ and Ally are LITERALLY YELLING...
"WE LOVE TO BE OUTSIDE!!!"
This picture is SO Libby.
She prances everywhere.. gotta get his girl into ballet class STAT!
Our little nature lovers
4 going on 14!
-Molly
Big Guy!
Tree Huggers!
They BEGGED me to help them plant this dead "tree" so that it could "live." I didn't have the heart to tell them it was a dead branch. God love them. So, we planted our sad little tree a little ways up the road.
Happy Thursday EVERYONE! I hope your all having a great week! Lots of love from our house to yours.
Check out the BEAUTIFUL tables!
