Cars in “snow”
Thank you Pinterest…specifically frugalfun4boys.com
Shaving cream and Hotwheels. We can’t go outside, so we’re pretending we are playing in the snow.
Little #3 thinks it “smells like man!”

Morning art
Little #1 and Little #2 have an art fair coming up at school next month. They decided they wanted to paint pictures with watercolor paints. They sketched their pictures and then painted. It is so fun to see their imaginations at work.
Not to be left out, Little #3 had her turn with finger paints and water colors.
Birthday Party #1 for #4
Little #4 had no problem with her birthday cake. In fact, looking at photos from her siblings’ first birthdays, she was clearly the cleanest after she was done. The boys were probably at a disadvantage since their frosting was chocolate… 
She took handfuls of cake with such skill and intention, she has clearly been watching her older siblings over the last 12 months. We had a ton of fun with family and friends who were able to join us for cupcakes and ice cream.
Happy 1st birthday, sweetheart! We love you!
Little #4 turns 1!
Happy 1st birthday to our Little #4!
My sweet girl, you have brought so much excitement and joy to our house since you arrived a year ago. Even after witnessing it happen four times now, I cannot believe how much growth and development takes place during the first year. Your grin of 8 teeth always brings a smile to my face and your now trademark scowl never fails to make me giggle.
Music brings out your grooving side – you bounce up and down if you’re sitting and you shake side-to-side if you’re standing next to something. You’re not quite interested in walking or running, but that’s ok with me – I’m not ready for you to be doing that quite yet either! You have become quite skilled at crawling up the stairs though, so we definitely have to keep an eye on you – you’re fast!
Your siblings are both a source of entertainment for you as well as playmates and protectors. They love you so much and would do anything to help you, keep you safe, and make you smile. As your mom, I pray that the four of you will always remain close. The bonds you already have at such a young age are incredibly precious.
Daddy and I love you very much and are extremely grateful that God chose us to be your parents. May He bless you with many more happy birthdays!
Love,
Mommy

When you fall off the “ladder” (aka chair) while attempting to climb into your “tree house,”
sometimes this happens:
I can’t title this
“Sometimes I hold my farts.” As told told me by Little #3 this afternoon.
I really have no response to this. I laughed for several minutes after she enlightened me. What a kid 🙂
Science guys
Science Fair at school today. The boys completed projects with their respective classes and presented their results. Little #1 will complete his own project next year, so we made sure to check out the older kids’ poster boards.
Little #2 built a clay boat and counted the number of pennies it held before it sank. Little #1 made hypotheses about what would happen to gummy bears placed in four different liquids – water, coffee, vinegar and OJ.
