Mullet to Pixie

Well, after considering all possibilities, I decided to trim the rest of Lillian's hair and make it look like her hair cut was on purpose. I suppose it suits her sassy personality. Although it does tempt me to pierce her little ears...

Summer Days

It has been pretty hot around here since we got home from our family reunion.

Don't mind the "hoochie" shirts.

I have to include this picture of Mattie and her best friend Peppy. These two romp and chase and play every chance they get. Mattie will go out into the yard to see if Peppy's car is there and Peppy shows up at our door every time they take him out for a walk. I don't think we would have as many neighbor friends if it weren't for Mattie:)

Mullet Baby

If there is one thing that I really dislike, it is an unplanned haircut by unskilled hands. A certain 4-year-old gave Lillian a whole new look. (If only this were the first offense!) Only moments before Lillian came wandering in I had asked, "Where is Brooke?"(never a good question). Fortunately Moss was home to give me time to cool off so I did not do anything irrational! Well, at least now there won't be any confusion of who is who.

Lovin' the Warm Weather

We live in a neighborhood of little boys~which doesn't bother Jacob a bit.

This is Brooke trying to make her order for her Crepes. It was so funny.

My little kitchen helpers. I know they are not dressed, but it seems I just have to wash their clothes if I put them on them, so only on special occasions do they get to be dressed:)

Valentines Day Fun

Lillian

Aleia

The traditional Valentine's Day dinner served at Fenberg Family Fine Dining. This has become the kids favorite tradition. They talk about it all year and absolutely love it. Moss makes a fabulous waitor with a very interesting accent.


Moss scored big this year! He really thought ahead and brought home this delicious bouquet. Of course the kids were sure it was for the whole family, so I reluctantly shared. It was perfect. I am not a big fan of flowers (especially ones that have been marked up for the occasion) so Moss was creative and came up with this fun idea.

Winter Break

So, we are lucky enough to not only have a spring break, but also a winter break here in New England. I don't know the history behind the whole idea, but I am guessing that anyone who could afford to, found somewhere sunny to go. We on the other hand, had a blast in the snow. we spent several hours over the course of a few days building up a snow fort. This turned out to be no small task.
After receiving inspiration from Calvin and Hobbes, the gaurd of our fort was shot down by the gunman behind the tree. (Really he just melted and fell over) Anna thought we ought to add some strawberry juice to improve the effect. I thought we might scare our neighbors.
The poor little girls spent a lot of time in the house in their high chairs while we finished it. They definitely were troopers. They weren't super into the whole mitten thing. They wanted to eat that snow so bad!
Anna and Mary really worked hard. after building up the base and realizing it was getting wider and not taller, we started forming "bricks" in Tupperware bins. It really worked great, but took a lot of bricks.
