I can't believe Heather's turning 5 today! It doesn't seem like we've had kids that long and at the same time I really don't remember life without them. Today she chose to help decorate some cupcakes, meet up with some friends at the "big" park on base for a picnic, have a friend over (currently), then we'll have her selected dinner--pizza, broccoli, and beets followed by cake which she wants to help decorate when her friend leaves and then watch a movie--with the anticipation of staying up "extra late" since she's five. Since her bedtime varies depending on the day and if she took a nap or not I'm not sure what "late" is...
I haven't posted but not for a lack of activities. We left the first of March for Ohio and spent two weeks at my parents house. We got a heap of snow and did some sledding, snow soccer (with an ice ball), rolling in the snow, and the kids built a snowman with my mom. The kids got to go to two Ohio basketball games and proudly the first word charlie can spell is o-h-i-o and he will do it with the chant with the student section very well. We also got to see Kelly for a weekend and went to her bridal shower which was fun and the kids were REALLY good at. It gives me hope that it will be possible for them to behave at the wedding and reception...The kids got lots of good grandma and grandpa time, walking up the hill, feeding the pets, making zucchini bread, painting birdhouses and more. Heather cried on the way home because she wanted to go back...
the last weekend we went up to Cleveland to see Jeff's family. Everyone was home which was nice and resulted in some sears pictures of the group. Getting four kids to smile was (surprisingly) no problem for the photo lady so if anyone knows of magazine shoots that we can sign up a group (two girls and two boys) we had the right four that day! The kids enjoyed celebrating birthays at each house and loved the time with their cousins.
Now we're back and although I didn't mind leaving the snow on a Sunday and arriving to 75 on Monday evening I didn't enjoy the disaster of the house and back to cooking, etc. that I didn't have to do in OH.
