Zoo Boo 2012

Although it was cold and raining we still made it to the annual zoo boo. We were joined by Nana and Papa and despite the weather we had a fun time. It's so hard getting a picture of these kids. Plus Joe likes to make silly faces every time the camera is out now. So here is my attempt..

 

Heartbreakers

These two are just the cutest. Aren't they looking so grown up? They are just the sweetest little guys ever. We took these pictures before Jesse's wedding after trying on the new clothes. They were very excited to have a shirt like Daddy on.

Jess + Bart

Aunt Jesse and Bart tied the knot :-) It was such a beautiful fall wedding and we are so happy for the newlyweds!

 

My sweet little flower girl

Reid and Grace

All dressed up and in ties for the first time!

 

The kids were in love with the horse and the carriage that Jesse rode in on. Cinderella in real life for Grace :-)

Love this one :-) Right next to the Quiet Please sign

 

This is when it started to go down hill...Grace was done with pictures and all the boys wanted to do was see the horse 





 

School

First day of 4 year old preschool!

 

First day of Mom's Morning Out for the boys. They loved it! 

 

What will they think of next...

We have gone from a lot of this at bed time....

 

To this...sorry for the nasty picture but I had to post it. This is what was happening here. It started with just peeing everywhere and now this...

And now this....footed pajamas on backwards so they can't take them off! They are not happy about it!



 

So the pj's solved the sleeping naked problem and now we have the daytime naked problem...

 

They are constantly getting undressed! I don't know what to do! I go outside and this is how I find them.

 

I was paged at the gym the other day because Jack removed his poopy diaper and pants by himself. It was a complete mess. I had to pull it together and tell myself that one day I will look back and think this is funny.

 

Then we have the problem of them being escape artists. It started with the cribs and now they are figuring out the car seats.



These two are crazy!!

 

Cedar Point

Where do I start...we attempted a trip to Cedar Point with Mike's work and it was a bad idea! Chasing three kids around a hot crowded amusement park was exhausting. The boys wouldn't nap and getting them to sleep without having the crib tents was impossible. Then to top things off Grace woke up at 5:45am and was ready to hit the rides...park doesn't up until 9am :-(

Despite all of the craziness, the kids loved the rides! Grace has continually asked since we have been home when we are going back.

This picture seems to sum up the weekend....

Jack with his Ducky and paci. 

Typical Reid face lately, saying NO!!

Attempting a group picture..Grace looks like she is about to fall asleep.

The boys walking through the flower gardens..

My little dare devil! If the boys were tall enough they would have gone as well. They cried watching Grace.

Just to give you an idea of how big it was! Pretty tall for a 4 year old!

Finally sleeping...this may have been the most relaxing part of the trip. I pushed these two while having a much needed glass of wine.
