When there is no one else to play ponies with.... just ask your big brother.

She is quite impressed with her "big girl bed". Now our little monkey has a place to climb!

Brandon was more interested in picking the bark off of the tree than watching the cars.

Father's Day Art


100_2185_3, originally uploaded by Bre_Norton.

The kids each made Jeff a folder full of works of art that they created over about 10 days.... Brandon wrote him a note, carefully cut pictures out of game magazines, painted a picture... Cassidy took the mass production approach and glued every scrap of paper she came across to her creation, drew picture after picture of her "people" and decorated page after page with princess stickers..... they had a ball!

He'll Love This One!

Mother's Day Is Exhausting!

It seems that the laundry room is also a good place to crash after a long day of being nice to mom. :)

My Favorite Gift

Jeff took the kids down to the grocery store and they got to decorate a cake for me, then have their picture taken and put in a special card. They were very proud of their creation (and couldn't wait to help me eat it).

I Love You Mom!! (can I have cake?)

Our Castle


Our Castle 3, originally uploaded by Bre_Norton.

We built the original castle last fall. It had a main room, a hallway, and two side rooms. The whole thing actually made it through the winter and into this spring with no damage, so the kids and I made the executive decision to add another wing... and while we were at it, a garage. So here is our new and improved creation. (Front room, longer hallway, 4 bedrooms, mud room, and 1 car/1 bike garage) Plus, the kids had fun painting before I sprayed on some bricks.

The little boy who didn't want to sell cookies at the garage sale was peddling books from a little stand he set up as soon as he realized that people actually pay you for stuff. :)

Not A "Little" Kid Anymore

3 1/2 years old and she has decided that she can handle the "big" kid side of the playground just fine. Leave Tiny Tot Land to the babies. :)

Definate Park Weather
