my boys

I really would like to go get a picture taken of the kids together. We have not gotten one yet other than the not so great one on Easter that I took. I attempted to get the boys together while Adeline napped today.

We didn't do anything exciting today...just played in the yard and enjoyed the cooler weather.
I did snap a few fun pictures though.

We spent a few days the week of the 4th at my Mom's house. My Mom stayed home with the twins while we went to the parade in Sharon. There were lots of firetrucks, and more tractors than you could imagine! The boys were thrilled while Adeline spent more time playing in the puddles created from the firetrucks spraying water down on the crowd. The rest of our time was spent outside playing in the sprinkler & pool, taking golf cart rides, riding big wheels, and lots of running around.

Here we are at the parade on the 4th.

We went to the Buffalo Grove spray park for the first time & really enjoyed it. All the kids & the 2 Grandma's. We stayed for 4 + hours! The kids didn't want to leave. I was happy to be there because it is all fenced in & it isn't too big of a place so I can always see them running around.

AHOY MATTE!

The kids love to play pirates :)

We spent the day at home playing inside and out back. D'Angelo loves to spray everything & everyone with the hose. Auggie went swimming while Adeline splashed her feet in the baby pool. Adeline also spent a good amount of time running away from D while he tried to squirt her with the hose.

dinner is exhausting!

D'Angelo looked tired when we sat down to eat but I didn't expect this...

I bet he'll be up at 2am telling me, "I'm hungry, so hungry".

Adeline relaxing in the tent in Grandma & Papa's yard. My mom sets up the tent so they have a shaded playroom outside.

Here's Adeline visiting moo's at my Mom's friends farm.

Happy Father's Day

Here are the boys with their Daddy.
Adeline & D'Angelo are up at Grandma & Papa's house, they will be home tomorrow.

So, I added these pictures in the wrong order...the top pic here is actually the lastest part of the evening on Friday & the berry picking was late afternoon.

It took Grandma lots of stain cleaner to get my pretty outfit clean after all these berries!

Potty Training

Whoever thought it was a good idea to put the picture on the butt of underware didn't have kids! D'Angelo only wants to wear his underware backwards because the pics are on the butt. I have also figured out that if he has on Lightening McQueen underware he has less accidents because he wants to keep wearing them. No other charecter gets this treatment...I guess I should follow his lead and buy more Cars underware.

We spent the day lounging around the house.

Let's read together : )

The boys went to the Dairy Breakfast with Grandma & Papa this weekend. They made a "sandbox" for the kids to play in and filled it with feed corn for the day. Lots of fun & no sand to clean off the kids! They also had lots of animals for the kids to see & pet.

I finally had the twins pictures taken! I was very happy that they cooperated and we got some cute shots. I think it went so smoothly because it was just me & the twins. Once you add more kids to the mix chaos ensues. I already warned the photographer that I wanted to do a picture of all 5 kids sometime soon. She suggested waiting until we do our Christmas photo- what a chicken. LOL.
