i can't decide .... color ...

or b&w. (both are clickable to bigger on black).
today i was finally able to get a shower around 4, and put on pbs for 30 minutes for the kids while i was in there (keep them from running a muck SOMETIMES, and gives me a few minutes to shower ALONE!).... i came out and peeked over the stairs to see this. too funny. my kids aren't usually the sleep anywhere variety (unless they're sick).
and yes, that's a pencil in norah's hand. i thought i got them all put away before going up (she's a notorious skin/wall/floor color-er).... guess not!

a dinosaur face to go with ethan's old dinosaur pj's (aka her baby jail pj's - the little nudist hasn't figured out how to escape them, yet!).
editing to add: pictures are much clearer when you click to see them bigger in flickr. blogger must really compress them.

ethan has been asking to take his training wheels off, but we didn't get too far with it today. his seat won't go low enough to let him reach the ground to catch himself, so it didn't work out too great. john had already cut off part of the post the seat is on to get it low enough for him to ride, period ... not sure what to do now.

there's another little boy with the same bike, and his seat goes much lower. not sure what is up with ours.

just a quick snap on the way out to the pool. norah's suit & hat used to be kayleigh's. except she fit in it until she was 4, and no way will it fit norah by the time she's two. how funny!
29 weeks today!
baby girl is still breech, so we're working on flipping her. some head down thoughts would be appreciated. :)

ethan had his first day of preschool today! he did great. i am so proud of him, it's the first time we've ever left the kid with anyone he didn't know very well. i made sure his superman tee was be clean for his big day to help ease the tension a little. looks like it's official. we've got two big kids now!

the worst photomerge, ever. just a few notes. the carpet is brand new and clean (not all crazy looking like it looks in the picture from merging pictures and cloing out empty spaces from the different pictures). same goes for the ceiling. :)



so, the girls will start sharing a room soon. we were just going to keep norah in our room, but i think it will be tough for her with the baby waking a lot in the beginning, ect. so here is our tentative setup. i have a few more decorating things to take care of, but this is the basic jist of it. i'll post again when i'm done (hopefully not too long from now).

three HUNDRED days of pictures! i am so shocked i've kept it up this long. i was planning somethign good for this one, buuut ... like i said. we've been really, really, BUSY! so these are from the way home from walking kayleigh to school in the morning.


norah's doing well since we stopped nursing this week, but we still haven't settled on a good nap time since kayleigh started school. still working on it, obviously.
