and a very happy presidents day to you too.

cause ours has just kind of been eh.

nothing much going on here. this past week:
 

~addie developed an eclectic style. i'm going with it. for now.

~christian took some pictures of frankie and she looked majorly like an alien. conehead much?

~lil' miss also developed a new look. i thought maybe it was her top teeth coming in, (she's still holding steady at those bottom 2) but nothing yet.

~we had some beautiful sunny days and went to the park with abby and sarah. some park days go better than other.

i've been trying to get christian to practice, practice, practice. i even bribed him with a dollar per basket for his game on saturday. i didn't have to give him any dollars. :(

huuuuug!

or not.

those two!

and these two, too.

am i crazy that christian climbing the spider with addie didn't phase me?

she loved it.

~we visitied with the neighbors.

~we had a beautiful sunset.

~the kids played in the field during the beautiful sunset.

ha ha, those capri's are size 18 months. i figure they can go straight from addie to frankie. :)

~addie and abby killed some bugs and then addie ran like a maniac.

~on saturday i went to bootcamp at 7:15 and then with some ladies from the neighborhood to vintage source (a cute vintage shop that only opens one weekend a month). i bought a bench for our entry way but i think i'm having buyers remorse about it. i'm not sure though...

then when i got home, we all fought about cleaning. i swears, if we didn't fight about cleaning, we would all get along famously.

we all made up though, just in time for christian's basketball game.

they lost. bad. :(

~on sunday we had waffles and ice cream

don't knock it till you've tried it.

i was skeptical, but oh, it was delish and i think we might have a new sunday tradition.

(church, waffel-O's, nap, americas funniest home videos, and ice cream)

~addie read us some books.

she is a very strict and bossy teacher.

do you love her dress? i do! i had been watching the price at target. it was $12.99 ( gasp!), then went on clearance to $5.99 (still gasp!), then finally to $3.24 which is when i snatched it up. i loooooove it!

~addie took some sleepy pictures of us.

this was before we took the worlds nicest nap on the couch. both of us all squished up together, but it was so nice!

ps - i seriously need to put a picture over that couch! it looks so empty.

~we did a puzzle. i've been aching to do a puzzle for-eva and much to my chagrin i found that we didn't own one. so when i was perusing the dollar tree last week, i came by this little diddy and yay! 

ps - the dollar tree also carries all of kate gosselins books which i think might make some great white elephant gifts.fyi.

our puzzle got a little more difficult when baby-kong woke up.

and then ginormica woke up too and it was pretty much over. it was also 7:30 and we hadn't fed anyone yet so we shelved the puzzle. next sunday, yo!

~christian avoided pictures.

until addie agreed to play with his hair, then he didn't mind the pics.

~frankie threw some fits.

but as soon as i held her she was fine. weird how that happens.

look! she has hair!

~today christian was t-r-o-u-b-l-e. i am learning how to handle things though and by dinner he seemed fine. we had hawaiian haystacks and i made a george washington cherry chocolate birthday cake. i've never made a bundt cake before, can you tell?

you might wonder where lexi was all week. i'm wondering the same darn thing. 

and this was our week in review.

and a very happy presidents day to you too.
