March fun

We've been busy. Surprised? I know, you get it, having three kids makes a person busy. Aaron and I have been on stress overload lately because on a whim I decided I wanted to redo our dining room, thinking it would be a small project. Well it wasn't. We are done with the walls, but are waiting to get a built in corner bench for our table. When the whole room is complete I'll take pictures and blog what we've done. I'm not going to lie, I LOVE interior design. It's a huge hobby of mine. 

This amazing weather has made our boys restless. Lately I've been leaving the backdoor open with the baby gate on it. The babies love to look outdoors, especially when their big brother is playing on the back deck. So what have we been doing with them? Well other than going to the park every other day, just simply playing outdoors. It's clear that I have three very outside boys. Bare with me, this blog is picture overload, but I have a ton of goodies! I should also mention the pics are a bit out of order, but I'm scrabbling to write this post between babies pulling at my arm and a three year old that's just dying to play super heroes with me.

So I bought these waffles blocks second hand for $30. I got a HUGE lot, it was a super steal because 1. these things aren't cheap 2. Little Tikes toys last forever! I bought them with intention to give to the babies as a 1st bday present, but I just couldn't resist and had to let them play with them early. They won't know the difference, right? I might have a small obsessions with great toys. I mean great toys, the ones that kids of all ages play with, grow with, and learn from. The ones that last forever to me, are worth the extra bucks. I was right, all the boys love them.

Are they really this big? Maxton has taken several steps, but doesn't walk everywhere yet.

Maxton, so proud of his silliness! Max is like no baby I've ever seen. He is such a wild little man with such a strong personality. When he's mad, he's MAD, but he plays harder than he fights. He's always being silly and smiling. He's much more independent than my other boys, he doesn't want help with a lot of things, but he's also very friendly.

My little super hero! Never slows down. Btw, maybe my blog should be called boys who don't wear pants. Yes, my boys are often naked. Curiously enough because they have tons of super cute clothes. 

So many people to rescue, so little time. The babies absolutely love to watch Hendrix run and play. They think he is simply amazing. 

"Mom, look I'm flying!!"

My mom had more waffle blocks I stole from her house. Yes, these are the same ones I played with when I was a kid. We took them home a gave them a good wash as they had been stored in an old box for years. The boys thought it was the most fun they could ever have.

Yeah, they're naked. Can you imagine wearing a cotton diaper all day every day? They need to air out every once in a while.

This is the best day ever!!!!!

Hendrix actually stripped butt naked later as well when he saw that his brothers could do it. We really need a big privacy fence :/

Bennett has to crawl into everything!

He has such a sweet baby face.

 

Ben absolutely loves to swing. Especially with his mom. 

 

He sits up on my lap and holds on, giggling the whole time. It is so stinking sweet.

 

Then he'll bury his head on my chest and 'plank' me while we swing. A grin on his face the entire time.

 

Looks fun?

Bath time!

I was doing dishes and both the babies were quiet (which usually means no good). Well, I was right, they found a banana I had been feeding them and stupidly abandoned within their reach.

Umm, banana peel!

So proud of himself.

Hendrix set the standard,  I am an absolute sucker for baby curls

So, it's pretty clear that Maxton will walk first, but Bennett is a professional at climbing, 'our little billy goat.' He climbs up Hendrix's slide with ease, and now Maxton has figured it out as well.

This is a Krier face for sure

 

He gets to the top, and let's himself fall down so he can climb up again.

I try to block the slide with little effect.

Maxton's chest is coated in drool. He is seriously the drool king.

Hendrix making his own lunch.

I LOVE when I find them all playing quietly together.

Bennett is pleased with the cookie I gave him.

Maxton thinks it's lame and just wants to go to sleep.

But it's so delicious!

:)

Too cool

Hendrix

Getting ready to play at the park!

A preview of what we've been up to. I didn't take a before picture, but here is a pic during the process. This is after the wallpaper is down, the first layer of mud on the wall, and beginning the wainscoting.

Walls completed!

The best carpenter in the business!
