Valentine's Day

Every time there is a "holiday", it seems like I always forget to dress the kids for the occasion.  This year I have made a pledge to myself to always be on top of it! Last year I think they wore  green on Valentine's Day and red on St. Patricks day :). Here they are in their Valentine's Day attire.  

So, my next blog covers our trip to Michigan Avenue.  I decided to take Marie and Philip downtown on the train.  We had never done this before.  Marie wanted an American Girl doll, but refused to let me order it online, so our only other option.................hop on the train.  We had a great time and Philip also discovered the Lego Store......his favorite!!!!!!!!!

When I started blogging, I began going back to old photos.  I came across some pictures that were absolutely priceless, I realized how precious candids are.  Here are some recent candids I thought I would post.  For those of you that are wondering.....yes that is underwear on Philip's head!

Now that the crib is out.......here are the infamous bunk beds.

Sorry I haven't blogged in awhile....thankfully things have been a bit quiet since the holidays.  Good news though, things are picking up as spring approaches.  This blog is a bit of a sad one for me.  It is the about the boys getting new bunk beds.  You may ask what is so sad about that right? Well the thing is when the bunk beds came, it was time to take the crib down.  My last baby is officially out of his crib !!!! :(  The crib has a bit of a history.  Not only is it the crib we have used since Marie was born, it is one of the only original pieces of furniture we still have.  The crib was also a gift from my mom when we found out I was pregnant with Marie.  So in many ways crib taking down day was pretty sad for me.  Here are some pictures of all three babies in the crib and a picture of the actual taking down of the crib.
