Playing in the snow on Friday











Friday was pretty warm so we went out to play in the morning. It was fun and good to be outdoors with them.

Thursday











Marlo and Owen playing in the bus that Baby Will gave Marlo for her birthday. They've played in it everyday and they like to take all the balloons from her party and put them in the bus and pretend it's a ball pit.

Wednesday











Owen was sick Monday and Tuesday and also fell and hurt his nose while he was sick. Poor guy!Marlo was so happy to see him when he returned on Wednesday. Baby Will enjoyed removing magnets from the fridge and hiding them underneath.

Marlo's 3rd Birthday!











Party Hostess Tip #1: To get your party started on the right foot make the children wear ridiculous hats
















Birthday cont...

Happy scooter fun
Told Marlo Aunt Linda (gifted the hat) was going to cry if she didn't wear it. Note to self- use this line again in the future.

Pulling Owen behind the scooter

When Marlo refused to wear the birthday hat Will obliged


Warning: Day filled with an overload of
sugar and sweet party madness may cause fatigue.
The day ended abruptly while watching Dora and eating cottage cheese with her new Bitty Baby.




Second week of January in photo

































January has been ROUGH. The kids and I have left the house only once. I knew when I started watching the kids that this would be the hardest. Everyone's demeanor is so much better when we're able to go on adventures. It's also been rough because they have all been sick for weeks. We have managed to fill our days with some indoor fun and here are the pics to prove it. I've given Will a bath everyday mostly because it helps out his parents but also because I think it's fun. And as you can see in one picture Marlo and Owen had quite a lot of fun with a bag of craft pom poms they found. That sounds lame but they seriously did! If anyone has any ideas for indoor winter fun please comment!

Will in a tub











Well Baby Will had a terrible poo that went all over his back, nearly reaching his head. Because of this he had to have a bath in the sink. The bath was pretty fun and I think we'll do it more often to help out his pregnant mama.

Foam Gingerbread house







We worked on this off and on all month. It may have been foam but that didn't make it any easier of a project with 2 toddlers. And yes, this is a classic glimps into the monster that Marlo can become. I'm not sure what her deal was but it's scary.

A recap of festivities
















These are pictures of them from the morning of 12/23
