Brrrr, it's....nevermind.

We are so loving this weather!!! 80 degrees in March, in Chicago??? C&P can't get enough of being outside, me too! I think they also like that when we do go out, thier bed time creeps later & later past 7:00...

Fist pump...

Let's go, Mom!

Too short to reach the pedals :(

MICKEY!!!!!

Saturday we took C&P (along with some red heads) to see Disney on Ice! They were in heaven, & we made it through the whole show!! I went to Disney on Ice about 20 years ago (oh, that makes me feel so old!) with my dad. I remember I loved it, & he got mad when I spilled my snow cone right after we sat down....now I know why...THOSE THINGS COST 12 BUCKS! It all makes sense now. Luckily, C&P did not notice the $10 popcorn (their fav), the $12 snow cones, or the $22 light wands (though I might have wanted one). Paige may have had a "moment" when she wanted a $30 Ariel doll, but I reminded her that she has never officially seen The Little Mermaid to know if she is even a fan. Note to self, get The Little Mermaid movie!!

After Disney we hit my favorite spot, Beef a Roo & then C&P's favorite spot, the park! I really thought they would crash of the way home...I was wrong. They spent most of the ride watching Mickey on Dad's phone (I love 4G), & talking about their day.

It went like this...
"Who did you see today?"
"Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Goofy, Parker, Avery, Mandi, park, slide, french fries, crocodile, pirates, princess, & stairs." ...without taking a breath...

His face was priceless.

Pirates.

Mickey, oh yeah!

The boys!

She thought if she clapped they would leave the ice so Mickey would come back.

The crew!

That would be Paige biting the dust...it's ok, they all did it & got RIGHT back up.

My jumper!

80 degree Saturdays ROCK!

March for Babies 2012

On April 29th we will once again be walking in the 2012 March for Babies. We hope all our local friends and family will be able to join us, but if you can't walk with us we hope you will consider donating to our team to support the March of Dimes by CLICKING HERE.

Why do we support the March of Dimes? Because we will never forget that this is how our beautiful children began their lives:

Cameron

Paige

Every day, thousands of babies are born too soon, too small and often very sick. Cam & Paige were born 5 weeks prematurely, and spent 2 1/2 weeks in the NICU before leaving with a clean bill of health. Sadly, not all babies are born healthy. We walk so that one day we will live in a world where all babies are born healthy.

Project 365 - Week 8

Sorry, it was just way to nice out yesterday to post anything! The morning was spent cleaning & going to the park....I cleaned, and everyone else hit the park. I knew they had a good time when the boy came running in with dirt all over his face! After attempting to go see the Lorax in the afternoon, we spent the rest of the day outside! Did you know that they give refunds if your 2 year olds are naughty & only last 30 minutes? After bedtime I was a vegetable on the couch, thus no blogging.

So here it is...

Sunday: Too cool for breakfast.
