My Baby is 6!

I know what I was doing 6 years ago at this very moment, do you?

Mommy's a slacker...

I have failed you. I have had pictures and didn't share them. Shame on me. ;)

This probably should have been posted last weekend. Giuliana "finally" got her turn with the class mascot, Arthur. Arthur got to go pretty much everywhere G did. Monday morning, we sat down and brainstormed all the things they did together. Then, G drew pictures while I put the story together. I'm pretty sure the other mothers will hate me now. Ofcourse we had to do something that hadn't been done yet. "We" typed the story, scanned the pictures in and made a beautiful layout. So, just like the whole snack thing in preschool, the bar has been raised. (I'm laughing, hope you are too.) I think G loved seeing her scanned pictures in print. She was a little disappointed though. She saw that several of the other "stories" were really long. She had hoped we could use the rest of the notebook. I told her that was bad form.

Ali discovered the joy of the swingset this week. Angelo thought I might be responsible for World War III if we took one of the big kid swings out. They surprised us both. Both G & Tre were thrilled that Ali could now come out and swing with them. I'm sure several of the neighbors had to look out their windows to make sure there were no dying cats- with all that squealing. Each time I went to push Ali, she'd crinkle up her face and hold onto the tray. Like so:

Then, there were the other monkeys:
Little Mr. Charming got really excited that the camera was out. It appears to be a new phase in his development. Hey, he's not screaming when it does it, I'll take it. I wish I could take his picture right now, he's down for nap. He decided pants were over rated and he'd rather just sleep in his Oscar the Grouch underpants. He's still singing. He's not too bad.

Being as today is St. Patrick's Day, it was also really cute projects from school week as well. First, Giuliana brought home a potatoe boy she had made. Adorable, but didn't photograph it. This though, photo worthy. She made a leprechaun. He already needs a haircut.

It's Friday :)

BedHead Baby
BHB looked much more kept after bathing.


The Big Sister that loves BHB.
Sissy is becoming quite the fashionista. Who needs a stylist?


In case there was any question, like Father, like Son. :)
Disney.com watch out, here's Tre! He can now navigate where ever he wants to go.

Missing the memo?

Apparently the girls missed the memo for this morning. It should have been a sleeping day. Tre slept until well after 8. My early bird girls were up around 7. Mama is tired.

We had a great weekend. Yesterday each of the older 2 got special time with mom & dad. Angelo took G out in the morning for a little caching run while Tre and I stayed home together. Later in the day, Angelo took Tre to a baseball game. The girls and I went to the scrapbook store and movie store. We made a journal for G and she got to watch Cinderella 3. She was quite disappointed that it's only a 1 day rental (seems everything else has been a 5 day).

It looks like it's supposed to be 65 today. I'm hoping to get the little ones out for awhile this afternoon.

One tired Mama...

Seems as of late, if one of them doesn't wake me up at night, another does. Ali is sleeping really well. She has started putting herself down in her crib at night now. However, it seems as though I am the only one allowed to sing to her and lay her down. Silly kid...

I noticed last night that the girls were matching color wise...completely unplanned. So, what better time for a little photo session of the 3 monkeys.

Here's getting ready. You have to wrestle on the floor and get your sillies all out:

Then, we chatted and snapped. Daddy was standing right behind me. So, sometimes, they're looking up a little. Still turned out great. Giuliana had been practicing her pose. School pictures are apparently a very serious thing. ;)

This last one, we were looking at Daddy. It's one of my favorites.

If I weren't so wiped out, I'd write more. Thought pics would at least be nice for now. :)
