Handy daddy

I put the pictures on wrong. This one was supposed to be last. B put in our over the range microwave without killing himself! Of course there was one little problem.

When we took the hood off the wall it left a couple of exposed live wires. So he took a picture, went to Lowes and asked them how to fix it.

They told him that he needed to cut a hole in the wall, put in a box and cap off the wires. So he did. That is so great that he just did it. If I was the one putting in the microwave and found live wires, I would have called an electrician to come fix it.

Here is a picture of the wires before he fixed them. Yipee for my handy man that knows what he's doing and can put our microwave above our stove to free up more counter space.

Seat for four please

Yes you are in fact looking at a gigantic camping chair. My brother-in-law, J, (yes the same J that doesn't mind holding a small boy wearing in itchy tutu, shoving his fingers in his ears.) Went to some kind of guys convention in Chicago and found this chair. Isn't is great?! I love that all four of us can sit on it at the same time.

Hiking with a tutu & a purse

As promised here is the picture of K hiking in a tutu. Please notice that M had to have a purse. She is so so girly. I honestly don't know where she gets it. She takes a purse full of princess toys where ever we go. She loves to wear dresses. I got a fabulous pair of heels from Aldo, she has worn them more than I have. She doesn't know why I won't let her wear my heels to play outside. Anyway, K wouldn't let me take the tutu off of him before we left to go hiking. He just loves it. I had to take M and K hiking without B because he had to work. Well, my oh so awesome brother-in-law, J, offered to hold K so that I could help M. Most of the time K was on J's shoulders, he had his fingers in his ears. I'm not really sure why, but J is so awesome that he didn't even mind. Thanks for your help J, I really appreciated it!

All boy?

M loves to play dress up and since K plays with M most of the time, he also loves to play dress up. His dress up of choice is this tutu. When he wears it, he wears it all day. I am going to put a picture on of us hiking and him wearing the tutu. I love it! I love that he is man enough to wear it while he rides his dump truck!

Gymnastics

Putting M in gymnastics may be one of the best things we've ever done. She absolutely loves it! She gets to go twice a week for 45 minutes. The first day we took her the teacher asked if K was going to be coming with her each day to watch. I said yes and the teacher said that he could do it with her and they wouldn't charge for him. I was so thankful!

K loves to play on the "Cheese mat". He doesn't like to do what all the other kids are doing though. He likes to put his head on the mat and rub it all the way down.

Here are M and K at gymnastics during free time. At the end of class they get about 4 minutes to do whatever they want. M loves the bar and K loves the trampoline.

Happy Monday?

This is what I heard this morning:
M-Hey K go put this car in the toliet
K- OK
Mommy-NO!!!!
Alas I was too late to stop the car from finding a spot at the bottom of the toliet. Why?! That is all I ask, Why?

Sous chef of the family

I love that she is wearing her Cinderella shoes with her apron and hat.

M the Sous chef. (Is that right? Sous?) The other day M asked for her dress up box. I thought she would come out wearing a princess dress. Instead she came out and asked me what I wanted to eat. She "made" me mac and cheese with hot chocolate. I ask you, who wouldn't want to eat that for lunch?!
