This Week's Randomness

Baby Liv turned four months old and learned how to prop up on her elbows. Four months going on forty-five months, any idea who she could be trying to keep up with?


That's right, Liv has got a front-row seat for all the shenanigans her older sisters are up to, like dumping out all the play food in the name of a tea party. L & M could not have a more captive audience. If they so much as look Liv's way she breaks into a giggle.



We heard a crunching noise and discovered Liv had scooted herself all the way to the twins' 2nd breakfast and was crunching it around with her toes. (Maddie: "I don't want it back now!")


London ends up with this haircut...but we won't get into that.


Cousin Gwen turns three!!
And celebrates with a pirate party. What's a party without a treasure hunt, pirate cupcakes, decorating eye-patches, a gazillion balloons, a pirate pinata, not to mention helping the other kids grind playdough into the carpet. Needless to say, L & M had a blast! After quite an exhausting afternoon of celebration, I thought for sure they would come home and take a nap...


Think again mom, we want to try out our pirate whistles!
(We had EVERY dog within a 5-mile radius barking!)


Oh London, an upside down skull on your eye patch, that is pretty hard core.
The girls ran around outside for at least three hours with their treasure maps. They even had me hide their gold coins so they could use their maps to find buried treasure. Oh Gwen you hit the jackpot with that party.


And I'll leave you with this--eaten cupcakes.
The girls and I spent all morning making baby cupcakes and when I woke up from a nap, come to find out L & M hadn't taken one, but instead made their way to the kitchen to eat the tops off the cupcakes. The funny thing was I didn't even care, I was just so happy they let me sleep!
