Just Hanging Around

These cold winter months keep us inside mostly. After the New Year - we got quite a cold snap, so we have been indoors more and more. We also have a big renovation project going on in our home (before and after shots of that project are coming soon), so our 'normal' has been a little out of whack. The kids have been busy with school, trying to stay healthy, swim lessons (for the older two) and playing with friends (whenever possible). Maddy has grown into quite the two year old even though she isn't two until May. She is practicing her Diva ways as well as practicing her tantrums. And let me tell you, she's quite good at it. My mom likes to say she's "spirited" which is a great understatement. Cute as a button and sharp as a knife though. And wonderful to snuggle with.

LET'S PLAY HOCKEY!

Cowgirl Maddy - they were trying on Halloween costumes.

Andrew in his chef dress up stuff. Andrew and Cailin like to run a restaurant out of our kitchen on cold days. They like to wait on us. They even offer to bring us 'a beer and bon-bons'.

Maddy LOVES to read. Just like her big brother and sister! And she's beginning to want to sit long enough to even finish a book. The 20 month old attention span is still quite short.

Maddy and Andrew. Madeline loves both of her siblings, but seems to just light up when Andrew is around. These two love to joke around, run and play together.

Cailin in her chef 'dress-up' gear.

All three kids!

Cute....

Just because she is cute.....

I wanted to post this.

Halloween 2012

Halloween this year was fun for everyone! The kids carved pumpkins

And all three kids went trick or treating this year. Madeline was a kitty, Andrew was an Ice Ninja (whatever that is) and Cailin was most appropriately an Angel. I told her she should ACT like an angel all the time. We'll see. They got boatloads of candy and had a great time!
