Sugar Coma

I was making cupcakes for my work Christmas party and obviously you can see that someone was helping me in the kitchen.  I did let him lick the spoons after I was done with them.  I'm pretty sure he was getting more than I was aware of just by the looks of these pictures.  We were watching a movie (afternoon quiet time) and he was sitting on the coffee table and the next thing we knew he was passed out on the floor.

And it begins...

I guess the boys have figured out Chloe is getting a little more sturdy and trying to play with her a little rougher.  I think Zackary sees Aaron and I playing with Chloe and has started rolling around with her.  He is very gentle and does really well with her.  And as you can see, she loves every second of it.  Those boys can always make her laugh.  Oh and other big news today.  My little Chloe started crawling today, she is officially moving forward now and is discovering all the toys around.  Time for the big clean up!

Of course there has to be a dog pile. 

Little Helper

I'm not sure what it is about feeding babies, but I can tell you this... Everyone loves to, even 3 years olds.    Lane and Zackary typically fight over who gets to feed Chloe.  It really is cute, but sometimes causes a little too much drama around here.  Usually because they haven't ate yet and can't seem to sit still to feed themselves.  I try to let them take turns and actually sometimes I let one of them to really help me out.  She doesn't care and as long as there is food she will take it.  They both do a good job, it just creates a little more of a mess, remember this mess?  I do love that they are so interested in her and take such good care of her.  She has 2 great older brothers to look after her.  Lucky girl! 

Birthday Party

We celebrated Zackary's 5th birthday and Lane's 3rd birthday at Makutu's Island this year.  And I tell you what.  IT WAS EXCELLENT!  This might be one of the best places for a party.  The kids have a blast, they provide all the food, drinks, cake, planning, cleaning, organizing, and fun.  They even serve the kids and organize the present opening and recording of gifts.  Seriously, this was so easy and enjoyable for everyone.  

We got to invite all their friends and not be crowded and the best part was they help load the car with all the loot and we went home.  No clean up might be the best part (well except for the actual celebration).  Happy Birthday to my sweet little boys.  Thanks to everyone who helped us celebrate. 

I love that Lane is sitting cirss cross applesauce waiting so patiently for his turn to open a present.
