More of the same

Another beautiful day during our week off from school, so the kids enjoyed another picnic lunch outside.

While Paige again watched from the inside.

Sisterly love

Picnic

Day 2 of the kids' spring break. While Daddy pressure washed the back porch, the girls decided they would have a picnic lunch.

Meanwhile, Paige and I hung out inside and worked on tummy time.

Mommy's helper

Ever since Paige arrived, Grace has been such a helpful big sister.  Paige is not an easy baby by any means and fusses a lot.  The bouncy seat is about the only place she will sit these days, but she does not like the vibrating seat and wants to be bounced in it.  So usually I sit beside her and use my foot to bounce her.  When Grace is home, however, she likes to help and will bounce her for me. 

And most of the time after a little while, Paige will fall asleep.....

And just a few more from today when Paige was awake and happy....

Bubbles and Bell

It wouldn't be a normal day outside if Grace wasn't in Claire's face about something.  Tyler, on the other hand, just ignores them determined to get the bubbles to work.

Unfortunately, the bubbles were short lived....

So Tyler just decided to move onto the backyard and play with the bell....

Family time

Some family time on the couch before bedtime....

Starting to get a little fussy....

Calming down a bit....

Now we should be better.  Paige's face when she's pooping...

Staring down Daddy hoping that he'll get the hint to change the poopy diaper...

But instead Daddy decides to snag the Ipod Touch and play Tyler's puzzle game....

Mismatch

Tyler decided to pick out his pajamas last night and ended up staying in them all day.  There was no point in getting him dressed at 4pm, so we just ventured outside like this....

It wouldn't be a normal day outside if our neighbor's cat didn't join us....

Time to get ready and call it a night. Paige, hanging out with Daddy, while the older kids take their baths....

Grace and Claire just adore their little sister.... 

And then there's Tyler.  He's all clean and showing his displeasure with his diaper....

So he decides that he should try to take it off....

And quickly gets scolded by Daddy....

Just another fun night trying to get four kiddos ready for bed!

My girls

Grace and Claire absolutely adore their little sister and now fight more about who gets to hold Paige, who has held her longer, or who has held her more.   I'll take fighting about that versus other things any day :)
