D-Rae's B-day # 3

Darby's birthday was on a Friday so the family wandered down to the pond close to our land and threw in the fishing poles. We didn't catch anything but had plenty of fun.
Nanue was her for the fun and she got a little time with Mera.

Kiki and Analiese.

Byrne and Genevieve.

Milo looking pretty regal for a pug.

Nanue and Genevieve (we love to pass those babies around).

Darby wanted Spider man cupcakes to take to her class so we had the leftovers for her family party as well as some spider cake balls I had made for her.



G got her an Ariel wig.

My big blond three-year-old.

My Birthday

I am a little late in posting but it is time to purge and catch up. I had a birthday about a month ago and had a lovely evening at my parents house with my family and some friends.


My sweet husband did an awesome job of making my day nice and went ot the trouble to get me my own special piece of carrot cake from The Daily Grill.

Me and my girls.

And just for fun a picture of Mera eating a baseball.

Pretty Pretty

Blast Off

G's class took a field trip to the Air and Space Museum at the beginning of March (I know I am so behind). Daddy was able to go with her and take some cute pics.




Shortly after a package was delivered to our home and the box soon became a space ship.



Well I couldn't resist bringing them home a real space ship so I took a box from work and Daddy helped them build the most amazing rocket ship.

Good thing we had some fun trash laying around that week.

The screen from our porch remodel was a nice touch.



He even got out he tin foil and made hats.

ET Phone Home

This is what happens when you ask Darby to get Mera a toy. She gets Mera all the toys. Reminds me of ET mixed in with all the stuffed animals.





Find Mera in this one.

Oh, there she is.

The Twins have Emerged

My brother and SIL kept the twins on a pretty good lock down for the first six weeks they were home. They did finally venture over to my folks house where the girls got to meet their cousins for the first time. I think all of these pics are of Analiese except this first one. I am pretty sure this is Genevieve. (Pictures were taken Feb 22nd and babies were born Jan 6)

Mama Kiki and unknown baby.

Darby and Analiese.

Georgia and Analiese.

Mera thinking she might like to put that in her mouth.

All 5 cousins (Genevieve asleep in the background).

Me and my sweet niece. So excited about babies that aren't mine.



Grandmama and Analiese.

Before I foget

From Matt Gleason:
I bought some Cadbury eggs at the store with the girls today. I told G and D that they had to eat their dinner before they could have one. G scarfed her dinner down fast to get one. D protested, so she didn't get her egg. We like to freeze the eggs, so I put ended up putting the remaining eggs in the fridge. Not long after, D was sitting at the base of the fridge trying to pry it open. While she was doing this, I walked by her and she said, "Daddy, I'm going to slam your feet in the fridgerator." I said "OK, you do that." Then she immediately said, "Daddy, I'm going to shove you down." Again, I said, "OK, you do that." To top off her threats, D gloomily said, "Daddy, I'm going to stick my hand in your butt." I had to cover my mouth to keep myself from busting out laughing. That kid is funny and not just a little vengeful.

By the way, V went to get the last egg out of the fridge tonight, but she found only an empy container. See, Georgia has free reign of the house after I go back to our bedroom and V is busy putting MJ to bed. That means G knows she could smuggle the last egg into her bedroom. She's a sneaky one. This is the same kid who has a 7:30 a.m. dentist appointment tomorrow morning to get her very first cavity filled.

On a totally different subject, I helped the girls make a spaceship out of a huge cardboard box yesterday. I even made them costumes out of plastic bags and foil. I told G she would look like an alien. She said, "Daddy, I don't want to be an alien." I said, "OK." Then she said, "I want to be an alien princess." So we added some pink to the costumes.

And today, at the park, G ran up to me, gave me a huge hug and said, "Daddy, I want you to call me your sweet baby princess." Later in the car, I said something like, "You're my monkey." Georgia corrected me saying, "Daddy, I told you to call me 'Sweet baby princess."

It's Done

Georgia's room is finally finished. I have spent the last two weeks doing "painters" work (spackling caulking, sanding, painting) to it. Most nights it kept me up til midnight but most of it got done before the carpet got put down today. I am so happy with the finished product!

Here is the view form the living room. I got red curtain to hang in front of the french doors so she has privacy and if the doors are open she can pull the curtains and we can still hear what is going on.

The curtains will be made out of this awesome fabric that matches the room and the rest of our house so well..

Here is the sleep area.

And the play area.
