Dinner Time!

We had pigs-in-a-blanket with mac & cheese for dinner the other night and thought it would be cool to let the kids help. They all got turns rolling out the crescent rolls with the rolling pin, then they all helped put the mac & cheese ingredients into the bowl and mix it up! Of course, I warned Gabe to mix side to side and not up and down, but with his first attempt he stirred the macaroni right up out of the bowl. That was the most fun I've had making dinner. They help out pretty regularly with dinner, and Gabe helps me do the dishes every night now while Declan and Bella clean the table with Pledge wipes. They also enjoy vacuuming. We just love that they are so thrilled to help with chores...whodathunk chores would be so much fun to toddlers?

Cute stuff the kids are doing lately

Declan came into Mommy's office the other day with chocolate on his face and sweetly informed her, "We're all out of chocolate cookies now, Mommy!"

All 3 of the kids are into fake burping and hiccups, not sure what that's about.

Bella is a dancing fool, dancing whenever she hears any hint of music going on. She is talking so well now, and while she loves to talk to Daddy on the phone each day, she doesn't say much. I have to ask her leading questions which will lead to a "Yeah" or "Okay!" answer.

Gabe and Declan sat on Daddy's lap and mowed a lot of the property yesterday. They loved it! They also love helping me drive the car up the driveway. My boys are getting so big!
