Happy Belated Groundhog Day!

The library here did a really cute groundhog day celebration on Wednesday.  It was their kickoff to their winter reading program.


The puppet show was really cute.  I thought they looked a lot like Muppets, and I love the Muppets!  One of the songs they played was the Steve and Greg freeze dance.  I have the most vivid memory of going to a Steve and Greg concert in kindergarten and watching Joey Rocha rock out . . . seriously I don't why I remember some things!

I also loved the lady that did the story telling.  She kept the kid's attention so well.  The library hasn't done story time for a couple of months, so we had never gone.  I'm excited to go now.

My little groundhogs :)  They had so many cute games and activities there.  Wyatt's favorite was a "groundhog race."  The kids controlled little zui zui pet hamsters on a race course.  I think Jackson liked the tunnel they made that you crawled through.  They ended the activities with ice cream.  They told the kids that if the groundhog saw it's shadow they would get chocolate sauce on top-- of course he did!  I think the real groundhog didn't see his shadow, which means spring right?? 


Tonight we watched the Taylors and Jackson thought it was the perfect opportunity to use the gingerbread kit that Janet gave us while she was here.  The kids had a lot of fun with it, and I'm happy the candy got divided between 4 kids rather than just my two :)

One Weekend, Three Living Arraignments

So I don't have too much time to blog, but thought I would do a quick update of our moving weekend.  First of all I wanted to post this pic of Wyatt trying to drink the rain that came last week.  It was the first time it's really rained here since we came to Arizona, and it was so weird.  Hot, muggy, rain.  All packed up and ready to go.  Friday was our last night in the apt (hallelujah!) One last goodbye To avoid having to pay into the new month, Saturday and Sunday night we stayed in a hotel (it was a lot cheaper surprisingly).  Wyatt was having lots of fun jumping on the bed. So Monday morning, as I was showering, I felt like the conditioner was making my hair feel really weird.  Well, that's because I dumped a bottle of lotion on my hair . . . FYI, that doesn't work well. Monday we finally moved in!  I took these pictures after a full day of unpacking and cleaning if you can believe it.  They look really bad, but they give you a tas...

OK, so I guess the consensus of the man giving me the flowers is creepy to everyone.  I think it's one of those times you had to have been there, because he really didn't seem creepy.  In any event the flowers still look pretty in the kitchen :) Wyatt just cracks me up these days.  I think this is just the funnest age when their personality really shows its true colors.  While we were playing in the backyard I tried to get a video of him using his "worker man voice"  It is the most hilarious thing.  He loves to do things to get me (and especially Erik) to laugh. While I was taking pictures of the boys, I decided I might as well get a shot of the baby tucked away (well not so tucked apparently) at 21 weeks.  I really am feeling so good these days, as long as I get some sleep.  Now that we are back on a normal schedule that's a lot easier to do! Jackson has reached to a new stage as well of keeping himself entertained (without the TV)...

Anna loves being by the fire.  It's actually the only time she doesn't fuss if she's set down.  This girl likes to be held! Our little Sumo wrestler A little dream smile :) We finally found some good bunk beds on Craig's List.  Jackson LOVES sleeping on the top.  I'm still keeping Wyatt in his crib, because he does so well in it.  I see no point in rocking the boat when I have a newborn to give me sleep troubles already.  We'll put Wyatt in bunk bed sometime this summer. Sweet girl.  This is one of my favorite outfits that I ordered for her, because it has my favorite color: yellow :) Jackson always wants to hold her.  Last night we had this sweet conversation: Jackson: "Mom, when are you going to wake up tomorrow morning?" (I've been able to sleep in while my parents have been here) Me: "I don't know Jackson it depends on how much Anna gets up during the night." Jackson: "Oh, I hope she doesn't need to nurse tonight...
