All of the looks!

When Tim and I walk around with all of the kids, we always receive a lot of looks and a lot of comments.  Often times, people comment on the stroller and sometimes people will ask us about the kids, usually something like "are they all yours?"  While we were in California, we took the the kids the 3rd street promenade and the Santa Monica pier.....those are very tourist populated areas so there were a lot of people from all over the world and it was really funny to hear the comments in different accents and languages.  Some  people pointed, people asked to take pictures......it was a very interesting experience.  The people from other countries tend to much more bold than many americans so we had fun talking to people!

The stroller is wide but it is sooooo  great to have and makes going places with 4 kids so much easier!

There is a reason why we don't have a swimming pool!

Tim's mom and dad got a little play pool for the kids, so I blew it up inside the house and the kids had a lot of fun playing with it inside.  Eventually we moved it outside and filled it up with water and they had a lot of fun with that for a few weeks until the water that came out of the hose was regularly too warm and it was like a hot bath.  Unfortunately I left the water sitting in the pool a day or two too long and now its green.....not sure how I am going to fix it now.  Ah it was fun while it lasted!

The best craig's list deal ever!

Last September, we bought an older Trex playset from craig's list for really cheap.  We finally got around to having it put up last week and the company ended replacing all most all of it under warranty, so the end result was basically a new playset!  The kids love it!  The slide is very tall and the kids come shooting off of it, Joey's first time down, he flew off the end and landed on his back in some mud........he wasn't too thrilled but he's enjoying it now that we catch him at the end of it!

The boys are bonding!

I put a package of cheese on the counter of the island (that had already been opened) while getting things out for dinner one day.  I left the kitchen for a few minutes and I returned to find Kaden and Joey making this mess as they ate up the cheese....the mess continued onto the floor as well! At least there are 2 good things that this picture demonstrates 1. Kaden are Joey are bonding, even if they are bonding while being mischievous 2. Joey now likes cheese.....he didn't like it when he first came home!

Better view of Mia's braids!

This is a little better view of how many braids Mia has and how tiny they are!  They have been in a few weeks and are still doing pretty good, I have had to fix some in the back but they are doing really well!
