Beach !!! :o)
90% of the pics the kids have their eyes semi closed. It was so bright at the beach but the sun feels so great this time of year so we didn't break out the sun hats just yet!
The water was numbing cold but still felt good. You can't go to the ocean and not at least get your feet wet. Bring on the 42 degree water! :o)
Nairi's first ever trip to the ocean! Its amazing how much more she seems to enjoy life now that she can walk!
When it's 80 degrees in March and there is no snow why not head to the beach??? This weather is unheard of in NH in March but hey we are enjoying it! Kids loved the sand. Mike's parents came with us to help with the kids. Fun Day!

SPRING
Gotta take advantage of the last little bit of snow. We had so little of it this year!
Now that she can walk she can find all her own sticks-I mean toys.
Good day to chop some wood being that it was almost 60
Israel gets a ride while his sister does all the work
Mike did a little swing set modification this weekend. The Glider is not a favorite swing for my kids and they are constantly fighting over the one regular swing we have ( one glider, one regular swing, and one baby swing) so he took down the glider and installed another swing bracket (those things are $40! at Home Depot) so now we have 2 regular swings and one baby swing.
Canopy Bed - Fancy Nancy style
Keira LOVES the Fancy Nancy books and has been wanting a canopy bed for a LONG time. We do not need another bed so Mike turned her bed into a canopy bed with a few extra 2X4's that we had lying around the house. The bed isn't done - we need to add the canopy (fabric) top, the broomsticks and everything else "Fancy".The picture in the book doesn't actually have to support any weight or actually work, so we had to modify it. Of course, Keira didn't understand at first, but she is definitely liking it now. SHe will like it even more when it has all of the trimmings.

edible jelly fish
When you are inside and bored and need some freaky food perk me ups. These are fun http://www.boingboing.net/2009/04/21/freaky-food-fun-inse.html Of course we used all natural nitrate free Trader Joe's Hot dogs and whole wheat spaghetti because somehow that makes it healthier right?
Loillipops for everyone
Lollipops provide incentives for the potty training child. Especially when the older sibling gets one too!Wednesday, February 29, 2012
Getting there
Sweet older sister reading her brother a story while he tries to go potty! Israel is doing really well. It only took him about 3 days to catch on with pee. I would say we are about 90% successful with pee. Number 2 we are still working on. Overall though he is doing much better than I thought. He even wakes up dry in the Am's most mornings despite a large glass of milk before bed.
