Crazy

We know how to do crazy really well around here.

A few camera phone photos of our life this month:

Watching Chicken Little during Friday night pizza and a movie.

Maddie decorating her new Valentine's mailbox. The only rule with the boxes is the kids aren't allowed to ask anyone to put things in their box (Ike tries to work around this by dropping hints) nor complain if they think their box isn't being filled enough. Thank you Target dollar section! It has been fun to see the kids excited about giving things to one another (and even more excited about getting them).

I guess it's time to show this kid A Christmas Story. This boy told me today that he wishes he could have wheels instead of feet. I wonder if he ever won't be obsessed with cars. 

Just hanging out in the diaper pail.

Looks great in sunglasses.

Daredevil Davis. My current motto is: If you can't tame them, at least snap pictures of them.

Some Current Favorite Photos

Maddie and Isaac have recently taken to wearing their bicycle helmets around the house.

While eating popcorn...

And for Maddie, even while going on a nature walk (where no bikes were present). I kind of agree with Ryan: where Maddie is concerned, it's not such a bad idea, considering how often she takes a tumble on any given day. 

Even the D-Man capitalized on his sister's head gear when he noticed she was occupied with a different toy. 

From the Mouth of My Babe

Maddie, practicing her super-princess jumping skills. When Ryan saw this photo his reply was, "Wow. That looks kind of dangerous..." Maybe this will be the end of them jumping from the vanity onto the old crib mattress lying on the floor...

I gave Isaac a hug yesterday and he said to me, matter-of-factly, "Mom! I'm not your baby anymore, and Maddie isn't a baby, and Davis isn't even a baby either." "Well who is going to be my baby, then?" I asked. Maddie replied, "I guess we'll just have to go buy another one at the store sometime next week." "Is she crazy or what?!?!" exclaimed Isaac. Crazy indeed. And for the record, no one around here is considering buying any babies.

Isaac: "Mom!!! Maddie's not unloading the dishwasher like she's supposed to, and she thinks she's the Real Rapunzel!!"
Maddie, to me: "So do you wanna be da bad Mudder?"

Just one of the reasons you shouldn't buy matching pajamas for your sons who are three years apart.  Would you believe me if I told you he didn't even notice ? Neither did I (that's how observant I am at bedtime)...Ryan had to point it out to both of us.
