Some Random Cute New Pictures

I thought the kids could use one more decent post before the new baby starts taking over our lives.

Esther begged me to take a picture of her 

If only he'd been holding a pitchfork instead of a walking stick

Why are dryers so much fun?

Caleb and Daddy built a cool snowman

My little rock star!

Make that two little rock stars!

I used this picture to make a silhouette for a MOPS craft and it turned out so cute!

Caleb's Birthday

Here are some pictures from Caleb's 4th birthday.  He was so excited to have a Star Wars party!  He had grandparents and friends from church and day care come to celebrate.

Tattoos and Snow

Caleb's Mickey Mouse tattoo

Esther's Minnie tattoo and thug look

Esther's attempt to "help" shovel the snow

mmm...real snow cones

How delicious!

The tree branches that fell on our back porch and pool fence

Snow!

Yesterday the kids had fun playing out in the snow.  Esther helped me make a little snowman for Daddy and Caleb and I threw snowballs at each other.  Mostly Caleb just ate the snow.  And mostly Esther just followed Caleb around making trails in the snow.

Esther's snowman for Daddy

Playing in the recycling bin was great fun for some reason

Medical Lesson of the Day

This morning Caleb asked me how babies get out of mommies' tummies.  I did my best to explain both normal and c-section methods to him, and then Jonathan proceeded to tell him about other types of surgeries and showed him his scars from when he had his appendix out.  He explained how the doctors used special tools to get inside and remove the appendix.  Esther must have been listening because she went to their Handy Manny tool box and came back with a hammer and pliers and attempted to work on Daddy's tummy!  Even Caleb laughed hysterically at that!

Piano Duet

The kids did this today and I caught it on video.  It cracked me up!

We went in together with my parents to get the kids this hit gift.  I believe this is going to be a lifesaver during the long winter!
