Girls & Boys Weekend!

Last weekend Andy and Declan went back to Wisconsin for Andy to have a guys weekend and Declan to spend time with family and in the snow! It just so happened that Wisconsin got a ton of snow so he had a blast! Plus he got to spend time with his Grandmas, God Mother and cousins. All and all an awesome weekend!

Meanwhile, the girls and I hung out at home and had a fun girls weekend... We painted toenails, we danced a lot, played a lot, dressed up, played in Declan's room without his permission, did things Daddy doesn't usually let us do and we had a play date with a new friend. We had so much fun and I especially had fun spending one on one time (or rather one on three time) with the girls. Here's some pictures of the weekend...

When I want a decent picture of the girls I tell them to put their "butts on the wall" or "butts on the door" - this usually works for about 80 seconds, but usually in time for me to get a good shot. It's also hard to say what any one of them will have on or in their hands :-) Stevie also takes it completely serious and makes sure her butt is on the wall. Here's Bria and Stevie.

Stevie also likes to make fart noises when she does it... They crack me up...

We went to Target as well - it was the first time that I had them all walk in by themselves - they did great and all held hands while we were in the parking lot. Luckily we found a good cart, but then had a few meltdowns on who sat where... But nothing that a few snacks couldn't handle :-)


Then we played in Declan's room with all his legos for about 3 hours - we played dress up (Aven below) and had a picnic. We also got a call later in the day from Declan telling that the next time we play in his room we MUST ask him before we do so.

Aven and Stevie enjoying a movie. We have a new thing happening in the house - they all say "I pick" and they want to pick the movie. Generally about 50 percent of the time they pick the same movie (we limit it to just a few movies to pick from), but the other 50 percent is a bit painful - therefore the iPad :-)

Before school a few weeks ago - the girls haven't all been to school for weeks because they have all been battling something at some point in time. Really looking forward to all of them being healthy! L to R: Aven, Bria and Stevie


On Sunday we had a play date with a new friend. We met a family who just moved to our neighborhood a few months ago. They have 5 and 7 year old boys who Declan adores and has had several play dates with and they have a 3 year old daughter who is a few months older than the girls. The girls taught her how to table dance and "shake her booty" - they had so much fun and it was great meeting new friends!

And I couldn't help but share this... Declan's homework the other night... I might be pretty, but Andy is god. To funny!
