Read With Me

Last Saturday I knew I wasn't going to do too much with Dr. Seuss's birthday.  But I thought I could at least make the kids some green eggs and ham for breakfast (well it was really green eggs and bacon which is even better!)
So last Saturday was my crazy cleaning day.  I was able to clean the whole house top to bottom, which I haven't been able to accomplish in one day in . . . well forever. :)  While I was busy cleaning, Erik took the kids to a Dr. Seuss event that the library put on.  The kids saw the Staker kids over there which I'm sure made it more fun :)

Not sure if I would call it a tradition, but like last year I let the kids pick out one new Dr. Seuss book to add to our collection.  I guess we'll stop once we've gotten all of the good ones?
And then Jackson had a pretty special guest at his school this week.  Debra Frasier, the children's book author, visited Greenwood Mill for a couple of days this week.  It was interrupted by the snow storm, which is too bad they lost a day of school with her.  On Thursday night the school invited families to come and make art work done in the style of her work.  I had a Beehive visit I needed to do, so once again Erik took the kids.  He's so great, right?  I guess when he walked in Debra Frasier made a comment like every parent is required to participate except the Dad that walked in with the three little kids.  I think Erik did end up helping them though :)


Jackson's and Wyatt's signed books.  I hope that this is the start of a trend of authors coming to Greenwood Mill!

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...
