My old jeans

Elin is wearing jeans today that I used to wear. She is 5 months and 3 weeks old. I am not ready to have a 6 month old baby yet.

The waistband might be a little tight :)

Here is a video of how close Elin is to crawling.

Valentine's Day

I like doing little things for the kids on Valentine's Day. Well this year the kids got little heart shaped box filled with Hershey Hugs and Kisses and a caramel Cadbury egg. They also got a new Dr. Suess book.
For lunch I made a ham sandwich and mini heart pies. Ivan asked today if tomorrow will be Valentine's day, when I told him no he said, "Ohh, that makes me sad, I like Valentine's day."

 Lunch. Caylin doesn't like bread so they were 1/2 sandwiches today.

 Mini Heart Pies. So good and SOOOOOO easy

 Caylin seeing that I got her some chocolate pudding.

 Ivan opening his gift with his eyes closed so he can be surprised :)

Both excited to see candy in their boxes.

Making Valentine Cookies

My good friend Robin brought her 2 youngest kids over to play while her and her husband enjoyed a day date!!!
So of course I'm going to bake something with the kids. They decided to make sugar cookies with icing. They helped measure, pour, stir and taste the whole time.
We also made some valentines for Robin and Brad.
I love having kids over here and playing with my kids. Makes the day go by so much faster and I love watching the kids interacting with their friends.

Brown County Mini-vacation

I booked us a mini-vacation. I received a coupon for "buy 1 night, stay for 2." I thought the kids would have a blast getting out of the house and it would be good for Anders to play with the kids. At home we always do projects so we need to get away :) when we got to the lodge the kids were super excited. We brought some food with us so we ate dinner in the room and headed immeadiately to the indoor water park in the lodge.
We had so much fun. Elin was just fasinated by all the sounds. Ivan and Caylin were everywhere. Anders and I had a blast just playing with them.
Since it was the Superbowl I had Anders take elin back to the room and feed her dinner then he came and got me to nurse her and put her to sleep. She struggled with that. After about an hour after her bedtime she was asleep.
Ivan, Caylin and Daddy came back to the room just in time for halftime. Ivan and Caylin both went down the slide by themselves. Which surprised me. Caylin would only go down with me but Anders got her to do it by herself.
Our plans today. Eat, drive around the park and swim. Sounds like a great day to me.
