Special Bond

I know this isn't a great picture, but Matthias and Charley have a special bond. They have since Charley was born. They just love each other. It's really sweet, and it's something I hope continues as they get older. All three children have a bond, but Matthias and Charley's is special.

Blueberry Pancakes

Jonathan had to work a promotion this evening at work, so I decided to make something special for the kids and myself for dinner...something Jonathan probably wouldn't eat...blueberry pancakes. I had some fresh blueberries and thought the kids would love it!! Unfortunately, Charley was the only one besides me that enjoyed them. Semi-fail.

Wink, Wink

Matthias has recently began imitating Jon and I winking at him. He doesn't quite understand how to wink, so he just blinks really hard. I think it is pretty cute since I'm sure he is convinced that he is winking.

Bath Time

This evening I had to work....for those of you who don't know I picked up a part-time job at Target a couple nights a week. It is mostly to get out of the house and have some adult interaction, but also to make a little extra money so that we can go on vacation sooner rather than later. Anyways....I usually give Jonathan a rundown of things that I didn't get to before I leave for work. Tonight it was bath time. Bath time is typically something I don't ask him to do, but the boys were in desperate need of one and it couldn't be put off any longer. I think he took this picture just so that he had proof that he did actually give them a bath.

In Love

I'm in love with a girl...and this smile is one of the many reasons why.

Play Date

This morning I loaded up the kids and headed to Granite City for a play date with some of my mom friends. It was a good time and the kids had fun playing with all the new toys.

Bowl Shoes

Justus came up to me today and said, "Mom, where my bowl shoes?" I of course told him I didn't know because I had no idea what he was talking about. He then found his "bowl shoes" and proceeded to walk around the house in them. It's amazing what 3 free bowls from the hospital can be used for in the imagination of a 3 1/2 year old.
