Growin' up

My babies are growing up. I don't know that I am ready for this yet. They got bikes, helmets and knee pads for their birthday - all of which they are in love with!Although they look adorable in all of the "equipment," I am not too sure I like the grown up look! However, the conundrum is that we would like them to grow up just a tiny bit more, so they can pedal their own bikes. I can tell you exactly how many steps it takes me to push them from one end of the deck to the other!There really isn't anything wrong with the color in this picture. They LOVE to help - with everything. That can be good - ie dusting, but that can be bad......
We made s'mores the other night in our fire pit, and the kiddos decided to "make fire" on their own! SCARY!
Ragamuffin #3 who saw me coming, and RAN!!!! Smart girl!

We have pictures of my brothers at about this age after they played in my grandparent's burn barrel. I guess the apples didn't fall too far from the tree!

And I had to include this picture for a laugh. Notice the feet? We have been having a war with Mr. B lately, who does not think that 2 is a baby anymore. That means, he tries to stay up until Mom and Dad go to bed. Two nights ago, Andy and I were in the kitchen, and came out to the living room to spy the feet. We promptly went back into the kitchen until the chuckles were gone (whoops, still not gone - chuckling again!) and then, went BACK to the living room to discipline and send back to bed appropriately. Got to give him credit for thinking!
In other news - Andy surprised me with a night out last weekend for my birthday just the two of us. No pictures, but the Olive Garden for dinner. NUM! I think I gained ten pounds! Then, we couldn't find a movie we wanted to see, so we headed home, and spent the night on the couch watching the OR Ducks game. Not only did they win, but I got half of a market bag crocheted. Fabulous!
