A Saturday at the farm

Okay so today was a big day out for us. Ben is still out of town and I dont usually plan big days out when he's gone. It's just really hard to take the kids to something with out getting seriously stressed out and messing up the whole day. I have always been annoyed by those parents that put all this work into taking their kids some place special and then yelling at them the whole time. But the kids were starting to get a bit antsy around the house since they were out of school of friday. Thankfully Katie was willing to go with us, which was a HUGE help and made the kids much easier to keep the kids rounded up. So we all headed out this morning for Sequim to the Olympic Game Farm. Ben doesnt like it much and granted its not very fancy, but you can buy old bread at the gate. Then you just drive thru and hand out the bread. I actually have slobber all over the windows of my SUV. The kids loved getting to feed the animals and getting to ride in the car not in their carseats. (I'm not sure which was more exciting) 

It was such a fun day and I'm so glad I talk myself out of going. 

They just lovvvvveeeee posing together!

These are some pics of the kids at the petting zoo. We were freezing!

Lights on, lights off. Laney has learned the art of the flip-over. You know the flip-over, if you can flip it over and stand on it you can reach so much more stuff. Laney is standing on everything from baskets to buckets to kids chairs. All day long its lights on lights off and its even more fun if you need that light on. 

This is Carolina in her breathright strip. She reminds me before bed that she sleeps so much better with one on. I think its hillarious and makes for some great pics!

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Dressing Laney is like catching and dressing a spider. If she can be naked she will be naked. It only takes a moment of indecision for her to make her escape. 

So when Ben is gone things go a bit differently around here. Meaning as long as the kids are happy and I'm pretty sure that whatever it is they are doing wont end in me taking them to the ER, its a green light. It usually ends in a much bigger mess but it gives me a few minutes here or there to oh I dont know eat something, go to the restroom or maybe even just not have all three of them yelling Mom all at once is so worth it. This is Laney feeding herself yogurt and making a holy mess of it. But she was happy and I got to drink a whole hot cup of coffee. 

" I can do this myself Mom!"

George has decided that he no longer wants to take baths. Laney on the other hand would live in the bathtub. Look how excited she is!
