This & That

Here's some of what the Herdina household has been up to lately...

It was a nice VERY cold day outside,

but the boys wanted to go with dad to plow snow.

I was not going to argue,

because that means a little 'mom time'.

This is Brock upset that he had to wait a minute to go outside.

When the snowpants go on there's NO waiting for him.

He was so impatient & upset that he fell over.

Can't you just see me standing by him with the camera

waiting to capture his emotional attack.

Well I did!

And I laughed. 

They even mow lawn in the winter!

We can't wait until Spring so we can be outside

EVERY day.

It can't come soon enough for these little guys.

Word to the wise...

when you're finished with a spice container

wash it

 & let them play with it.

It's still a 'toy' they fight over!

Why is it so fun to drink bath water?!

I think he's just trying to practice drinking from a cup

like his big brother.

At least that's what I hope he's doing.

Brock is ALWAYS hungry.  REALLY.

He's making sure supper is going to

be done on time.

Adler enjoying a cupcake right before bed.

He sure loved me!

The cakes were cream cheese & choc. chip filled.

They were awesome.

(A great recipe from Sara!)

p.s. he got new slippers for Christmas. 

he little toes pushed through his favorite Bob ones

so he's onto some new (used) ones.

p.s.p.s. I love second hand stores (or garage sales).

How could you not?!

I think I paid $0.50.

We check on the boys everynight before we go to bed

and this is what Adler looked like the other night.

He resembled 'Mary' with his blanket on his head.

It was a good laugh for me anyway!

The Yanish family stopped by for a visit this past weekend

& in lieu of Joe's birthday

we played games

ate cake

drank a lot

& had fun.

Gabe & Adler on their way to the indoor pool.

They love that place as you can tell

by the expression on their faces.

Partaking in a little boggle

(my personal favorite game!)

This was my view from the kitchen.

Ohhhh man! or should I say Ohhh sister.  hahaha

Do you see Olivia?

Ohh there she is.

Being a hotdog between the couch cushions!

Ohh she's something.

And we ended tonight with what else but suckers

in the bath tub.

Adler would have NEVER had a sucker at Brock's age

but because Adler has one, Brock must have one.

For all of you out there with only 1 kid...

and deny this will happen to you

just wait

you'll see!

It was a complete meltdown at Home Depot

when Adler pulled out a ring pop.

Thank the Lord that I put a sucker in the diaper bag

for a moment like tonight!

p.s. Mom's should always pack a sucker in their diaper bag for a back-up.

But when we got home their suckers got all full of coat fuzz.

So we started over with new suckers!

Ohhh he sucked & sucked

& licked that thing!
