What’s For Dinner?

My kids are obsessed with The Wiggles.  Totally obsessed!  We watch The Wiggles everyday, talk about The Wiggles constantly and we all have the dream of seeing The Wiggles Live someday. 

                              

Cooper is famous for relating EVERYTHING to The Wiggles.  It does matter what we are talking about or doing, Cooper thinks of a way that it is similar to The Wiggles, whether it’s a color, a song, a dance or just something that they say.  It’s really pretty impressive that he has that good of a memory.  They all love to dance and sing with The Wiggles and will occasionally just start singing and dancing even if The Wiggles aren’t on TV. 

Whenever I ask the kids what they want to eat for any given meal or snack, Cooper and Brett answer with “Wiggles!”  I’m not really sure what they mean when they say this, maybe they are wanting to eat with The Wiggles or watch them while they eat.  I don’t know for sure.  When I make pancakes I usually color them different colors and they always tell me which Wiggle color I have used.  I’ve been trying to think of a meal I could make that would include all four of the Wiggle colors, red, blue, yellow and purple.  I finally decided today to make cornbread into little mini muffins and make each of them a different color.  The colors didn’t turn out that great, but the kids were thrilled with their Wiggles cornbread!

Aren’t these pretty?

Cooper and his “Murray” cornbread which is supposed to be red, but came out more pink.  They didn’t seem to care!

Brett being goofy and eating his “Sam” cornbread.

These are the best pictures of Parker I could get.  She was too busy eating to smile.  She ate six mini muffins! 

Someday I hope to get to take them all to see The Wiggles for real.  They get so excited every time they come on TV, I can only imagine their reaction if they saw them in person!  They have a US tour this summer, but the closest they will be to here is in Chicago, about a 10 hour drive from here.  Unless I win the lottery sometime soon, I’m pretty sure we won’t be going!

Wordless Wednesday

All Dirty!

It has been raining like crazy here that last few days!  Every day the kids wake up, look out the living room window and give me a weather report.  If it's not raining, they immediately want to go outside.  The other day it wasn't raining, but everything was a wet sloppy mess.  I decided we could go out after lunch time, but they would have to wear their snow boots.  I didn't want to have to worry about washing tennis shoes, and snow boots can be sprayed off pretty easily, so snow boots it was!  They had a great time playing, and found that side walk chalk makes great paint when it's wet!  The colors are much more vibrant and it's really fun to rub it all over the ground, your self, mommy and cousin Grace.

Kaden- Stylin' as always!

This is Parker's new thing to do when I tell her to smile so I can take her picture.  She closes her eyes and says, "You can't see me Mommy!"  Stinker!  Notice how she is holding her hands....she smeared purple chalk all over them and then didn't want to touch anything with them.

She can totally pull off the snow boots with her shorts look!

I wouldn't let them play in the sand because it was soooo wet. but Cooper went around the yard scooping up the little piles that were laying all over.

Their beautiful artwork!

They like to get dirty, and since kids and clothes wash, I figure why not let them get that way?  They had a great time, burned off some excess energy and I got some great pictures!

NICU at Nite

I found this video on a triplet mom's blog and had to share!  It's very cute!  Listen to the words carefully.

Lotion Heads

A few months ago when we were at Grandma and Grandpa's house, my boys decided to put butter in their hair.  After several washes with Dawn dish soap, we finally got it all out.  Well, a couple days ago while I was doing dishes I realized that it had gotten extremely quiet in the living room. 
Silence is not a good thing in my house!
When I walked in the hallway, I found Brett and Cooper happily smearing lotion all over their hands, arms and heads.  I couldn't be mad since I was the one who had failed to put the lotion away, so like a good mommy, I grabbed the camera!  I figure if I can't laugh about stuff like this, my life will be alot less enjoyable.  I have to say that lotion is MUCH easier to get out of hair than butter is!

You can't tell they enjoyed themselves, can you?

I had to give them baths in the sink since Lee was sleeping and Heaven forbid I give one of them a bath in the tub and not the others.  They had just had a bath the night before, so I just wasn't up for another group bath!  Brett was absolutely thrilled with the idea of taking a bath in the sink, and even managed to spray me with water a couple of times.  Good times, people, good times!

This is Cooper's "I'm trying not to smile because I think I did something naughty" face.  Love it!

Once I assured him that even though it isn't the best idea to put lotion in his hair, he wasn't in trouble, he flashed one of his awesome grins. 

Note to self:  Always be sure to put the lotion away or my curious little boys will find a good use for it!

Pretty flowers

Call me crazy....but one of my favorite things about this time of year is dandelions!  See?  I'm crazy, right?  Actually, I know of lots of mommies that can say one of their favorite flowers is the dandelion.  My kids are very much into picking me these pretty little yellow flowers....all the time.  No matter where we are.  The other day we stopped at a garage sale right by this house that had tons of dandelions.  My kids were in heaven!  I'm sure the people that lived their were hoping we would never leave.   My kids eached picked about 20 "flowers" for me before we left. 
My kids melt my heart everyday with the sweet little gestures they do for me and for eachother.  Lately, they melt my heart with dandelions.  Cooper especially loves to pick them for me.  The cutest thing is that he works so hard to put them in to the perfect little bouquet.   AND he gives me one of his killer smiles, flashes his dimples and gives me a hug after he hands me the flowers.  I love that kid. 

Coop hard at work making me a beautiful bouquet.

That is some serious concentration!

Coop in the background still picking me flowers.  Brett found one too! 

Have you ever seen anything so beautiful? 

The flower picking definitely picked up a notch after the kids saw my reaction to the flowers daddy brought home for me a couple weeks ago.  Funny....I didn't take any pictures of those flowers.
