Pictures Lately

Starting from a few weeks ago, these are a few pictures of what we've been up to...

Zane and I attempted a Gingerbread House. It turned out pretty silly, but was so much fun for Zane. He basically did the entire thing completely by himself.
Another project that he was proud of...
We had our playgroup over for lunch and all the kids (12) had a "picnic" in the kitchen.
We went to the Zoo last week and then stayed for the Zoo Lights. They love the penguins.
I wish I would have gotten a picture or video, but I didn't catch when a monkey came right up to Zane and jumped up at him, growled at him, and tried to scratch him through the glass. I jumped back and screamed because it scared me so bad but Zane didn't even flinch. It was crazy.

Emmy hates being in the stroller so we let her walk most of the time, which takes forever but she loves it.


Dressing up in their chef outfit and apron. Zane also got a cool skull apron for Christmas.

Trying out his new Wii Fit game
Just thinking
I made this fort for them for New Year's Eve and we left it up for a couple of days. It took up Zane's whole room. That night, we had a "Pajama Movie Party" and ate snacks and watched Despicable Me. They went to bed early so Zack and I hung out till midnight. It was fun.


We tried to take the kids ice skating last week and the first place we went, they didn't have skates their size - so lame! So, we went to a second place and it was closed for New Year's Day. Bummer. We ended up just hanging out at Tattered Cover Bookstore and we let them share a Vanilla Steamer. The loved having their very own hot drinks.
For one of our playgroups, we went to My Gym. It was good memories for Zane because he used to go there and liked it. He and Emmy both had fun for sure.


This is Emmy playing her "Elmo Game." It's a Sesame Street computer game that she can mostly do independently.

The messiest eater on earth - you probably can't see how messy it really was, but it was soooo bad! She won't leave her bib on lately, which makes for some stained laundry, that's for sure.

Bath time - they love to lay on their bellies next to each other and giggle and play



I had Strep Throat before Christmas and then shortly afterwards, we noticed that Zane had a rash but thought nothing of it. Luckily, since it didn't go away, we decided to take him to the doctor Monday. It turned out that he had Strep so they checked Emmy too, since she had been running a fever of and on and she had it too. Zack went the next day and ended up having a sinus infection so they're all 3 on antibiotics. Yuck.
