Rise and Shine it's school time!

First day of school!!! It's a good thing they started on a Wednesday so Gordon could help me get them up and out. They got up good it was hard to get them rolling and pictures maybe they'd be happier in their pictures if I took them after school. Parker is now in the 3rd grade.

Dylan is in 1st grade and excited to be able to play at the big kids toys.

Sam is going to our neighborhood pre-school twice a week in the afternoon so he can do itty-bitty ball in the mornings.

He loves his Handy Manny backpack that Gavin gave him. He feels just like a big kid. He says I can come with him. But not Logan he's too little.

In two years we'll have three in the same school and Logan in pre-school. Where does the time go? We do have cute boys!!

My boys at home! What will we do all day?

Well we went to the park after dropping the boys off. We pushed the babies on the swings, they played on the slides then we went home and put the babies down for a nap. Then Gordon and I celebrated the first day of school and a quiet house.

Happy Easter

Happy Easter!! We had a neighborhood Easter egg hunt and it was fun. It was a little cold and it started to rain (that's why Sam is in his winter hat instead of bunny ears). Aren't my bunnies cute? They had 2 baby chicks and a bunny to pet. Sam kept saying "woof woof" to the rabbit. Guess we need to work harder at our animal sounds.
The kids 2 and under didn't really get the whole pick it up and put in your basket. Sam picked one up tried to open it or he's sit down for a break. It is his first Easter egg hunt. Last year he just sat in the stroller and watched.

All 3 boys were in different "hunting" spots so I only got pictures of Sam. The boys still got tons of eggs doing it by themselves. I was with Sam and Gordon was at work. He misses all the fun!!!

I wanted one more picture of their cute faces and it wasn't going so well. Sam just wanted his candy, Parker was cold (he's been running a fever) and Dylan "hates pictures". It can be torture, I keep saying just one more and 10 pictures later I let them eat their candy. This was the best one.

Best-Friends

I apologize it has been a month since I last updated. I am really awful about keeping everyone posted I know it. But I wanted to post about the boys and how Parker and Dylan are best-friends (and the worst of enemies). They get mad at each other and say "I'm not your best-friend today." It's comical. We are trying to instill in the boys that they are brothers and best-friends and they will always be there for each other.

Now we found out that Sam will have a best-friend too. A little baby brother due early July. Suprise, suprise not an August baby. I admit I was sad at first not getting the baby girl I wanted. But, Dylan reminded me that "you get what you get and don't throw a fit." and Parker said Sam has a best-friend now. How cute these boys are. The Thompson family name lives on and we are all excited (even Daddy) about another baby!

Wet Pants

Parker and Dylan don't like to get the bottom of their pants wet! They walk through the snow and pull their pants up. But Sam doesn't mind being wet!

This is the puddle at the end of our driveway.

OOPS!! He didn't cry, he got back up for more and more and more!

His pants looked like this. He didn't want to come inside so I had to pick him up kicking and screaming. He cried the whole time I was trying to change him into dry clothes. Sam is going to be my outdoor boy.
