Crazy times

I still need to post on our trip to Mexico but this week the kids have been something else. Being a full time working couple with two kids under the age of 3 is quite a challenge at times, however moments like we have had this past week make our hearts overflow with joy. Unfortunatly I didn't capture all the fun this week, like the swimming play date with The Payne and Dautrich families. 6 kids and 5.5 adults (Merrick wasn't feeling well) was a blast and we can't wait to do it again! I was able to capture some evening events like...

Spaghetti dinners. Who knew a simple meal could be so much fun. Haley was slurping away. She's pretty clean here but this was bite three.


Jackson, on the other hand, was not so clean. This was his first taste of spaghetti. I'm not sure any made it in his mouth but he had a good time. Both kids got a sink bath before they were allowed to exit the kitchen!


Sometimes we (the kids) hang out in nothing but diapers and big girl panties with our mickey mouse hats on


Those don't last long. Let me help you get that off Jackson...


Best seat in the house to watch some Dora.


Some evenings we play Cars with each other. We now have Mack, Mater and Lightning McQueen and we usually share.

Jackson trying to look like Mater

Some evenings we get horsey rides on Daddy. Always a favorite!

Or wrestle Daddy


And some nights we play dress up. Haley wanted to be Snow White and she dressed Jackson in her old chick Halloween costume. Matt and I cracked up!! The two posed for a picture with fat cow, a new favorite of Jackson's.

Snow White making sure Chick doesn't get away too soon

Chick made a run for it...


And then chick decided to fight fat cow. Chick has him pinned

Oh no, fat cow is fighting back

Fat cow has the upper hand. Who will win is anyone's guess


Another favorite is helping put away the dishes. Usually Haley is a huge help and Jackson climbs in the dishwasher getting into trouble. This time Jackson was helping too!


Our life is crazy but we wouldn't have it any other way. LOVE IT!
