New stuff

Well it has been a while again since I last posted. There are things daily that happen with the kids that I think I should be posting on here. But I always forget to write, or simply just run out of time in a day. Today, I am letting the kids play downstairs by themselves a little bit. I just keep checking on them every little bit. I am loving this! They are doing pretty well too. Not too much fighting. I think they realize that I am not their to break things up.

Today I took the kids to a story time at the library. They all did pretty well, but it seemed that Lizzy got a little bored. She actually started pulling her pants down, and then up again, and then down again. Thankfully she had a onesie on, so she wasn't flashing anyone that little diaper :) It was a crack up.

Lauren is so talkative lately. She has been attached to a backpack. She puts toys in and keeps stuffing them in until the bag is almost too heavy for her to lift. She also can say the word "backpack". She shouts it out loud when she wants it or sees one. It is pretty cute. Lizzy likes them too, but is drawn a little more to purses. One day, she was carrying around a tank top by the straps as if it were a purse. She had it on her arm all day. I was waiting for her to start putting things in it and have them slip out the bottom. I was cracking up watching her carry it around the park even.

Lizzy has started to say a few more words too. She says hat really well now. But mostly it is Lauren who does most of the talking. Lizzy and Rachel have begun really wrestling. They roll all over each other when they are playing in the basement. They just get laughing. It is funny cause when Lizzy is on top of Rachel, Rachel can only kick her legs and arms, cause Lizzy is too heavy for her to get out. It is so fun to watch them playing and laughing together.

Rachel is often found singing the ABC's and coloring. Every day she asks to color and for us to color with her. She is getting pretty good at coloring pages that we print off the computer. Sometimes she amazes me at how good she is getting.

We had a stretch of a couple weeks with really warm weather. We got out our summer clothes and went to the zoo with a friend one day. And have played at the park a ton and out in the back yard too. I cannot wait for the summer. I think we will be in our swimming suits all summer :)

Here are a few pictures I thought I would post:
