No kidding...

Liza tried to pick MY nose this weekend. Seriously. See older posts. I think she has a problem.

My handsome boys.

Picnic in the playhouse

At the request of Sara we had a picnic in the playhouse on Monday. It was a beautiful day outside, a little windy but otherwise perfect. This was the first time the girls had an apple without me first peeling it and cutting it up. Liza has had one everyday since then and if she seems me eating one, she takes it. And of course Evan couldn't miss the picnic so he joined us, but he apparently thought it was a snooze because he slept the whole time. Liza thought it was cool to throw food over the side.

More picking...

I heard Evan crying today, came into the room to find Liza picking his nose. I told her to stop. Liza says "but Momma, he has a boogie." She has such a heart for others. Or, she just likes picking noses. So now not only has she used HIS finger to pick HER nose, she's picked HIS nose too. Just keeping it all in the family.

Pick your Sister

Something I never thought I'd say: "Liza, stop picking your nose with Evan's finger." Apparently you can pick your sister. :)

First time for 5 at the zoo!

We took Evan to the zoo for the first time today. This was the first time we've all gone together, as a family of 5. It was great. We didn't like having two strollers all day but hopefully that won't last too long. Liza loves watching the animals, Sara loves watching the people.

as you can see, Evan had a great time. This is pretty much what he did the whole day. We did our best to make sure he stayed cool and dry and fed. What more can you ask for? I'm sure it will be a memorable experience for him.Apparently, we wore them all out. They all fell asleep on the way home. If you look in the tiny mirror you can see that Evan is also sleeping. It was almost like a date for Steven and I in the front seat, or would have been had I not kept nodding off :)

The good, bad and crazy from this week...

This is the crazy...sort of

1. Okay, this is Liza being a little crazy. I think it's her Bret Michaels impression. 2. Again, Liza. This is why we have not yet removed the railing.
3. Something unrelated to my kids but definitely crazy - we went to the zoo today and I was shocked by how many people were not wearing shoes. I'm serious. One of the barefoot men also had on a long ladies skirt. It's just strange and gross.
