A warm February

It was 60 degrees yesterday... see. Isn't that crazy. February in New England. The kids really liked it. I loved putting my flip flops on. That was a good thing. We played outside a lot.

Levi wearing Steve's size 13 slippers. They are huge and he wore them for about 15 or more minutes, till it was bedtime. Right now he is very interested in shoes. He goes around the house saying "a Shooowe," which is a shoe. He rearranges all the shoes and brings them to different rooms in the house. It usually takes a few minutes to find everyone's shoes when we leave the house, thanks to Levi.

Birthday... and the JUMPER

The concentration in this picture is amazing. Notice it is the 28 year old that has to stick out her tongue to open this present, not the 3 year old.















Adelaide's first experience in the jumper. She did pretty well. The boys were drawn to it and it soon became a swing, a game of pushing Adelaide back and forth between the two. It was cute. I need to keep my eyes on them... to make sure the pushes doen't get too big. That is the last thing that we need, a flying Adelaide.

28 years...and counting

It was my birthday yesterday. 28, yay me! We had a low key birthday with Steve's Fam and Corby. It was a good time. Steve cooked with the help of Corby. It was really good. I was happy to not be making dinner.
We are going up to Vermont on Friday to spend some time with the fam. I'm excited. Hopefully ther will be snow. I really want to play in the snow.
I mean, with the kids in the the snow.....that too, but I just like playing in the snow.:) It is good times being pulled in a sled behind a four wheeler or snowmobile. Good times!

It is funny to think of some of the birthdays I've had... that was fun. I'm glad we celebrate a birth week here in the Francia household. I think it is a great idea. I do like to celebrate.

It was Adelaide's first time to wear her fleece bunting. It is pretty cute...a tiny bit big. She is pretty much swimming in it.
It was also her first swing ride. She loved it.
She smiled and laughed a lot, probably because of the goofy faces I made... but it was a success.

We decided to go outside yesterday and get some energy out.
The kids get a little crazy from being indoors. Not to mention I need it more than them. We played in the back yard. The boys went down the slide a few times before Ezekiel decided it was too cold. That was because he kept on putting his hands in his mouth making them chapped and freezing. It really wasn't that cold out.

Steve doesn't really know how to match. Can anyone help him?

Adelaide practicing push ups.

RSV...

This is Adelaide on the nebulizer. She was a trooper. She didn't like it, but didn't get too histerical. Luckily we only needed to do this three times. Ezekiel was very interested in the machine, but more so the tube. He tried to bite it many times. I don't blame him. It does seem like a fun thing to bite on, but not such a good idea.
She is doing great, but she won't be around kids for awhile.

A Bonk to the Head

Levi's wonderful gash. He did this doing a head dive into the window sill next to the couch. It looks a lot better now. There is going to be a scar. I don't think he learned his lesson though.

Bubble Bath

We made a huge bubble bath in our bath with the jets. The boys really liked it.
When they started the bubbles were to the top of the tub. Levi was a little afraid of
them at first, but pretty soon he was diving right in.













Adelaide in her saucer. She is really strong.
