Dino Days

We enjoyed a gorgeous day out at a local Dinosaur Park with some friends before the snow hit.  I must apologize in advance for the sheer number of photos in this post.  I know, I know.  Sigh.  They are all just so cute.  Which would you cut out?  I especially love the ones with a big bro or sister helping out a little one.  I love it!  We went with some friends, mostly not pictured here, but you can see my oldest daughter pictured with one of her best friends in a couple of photos.  They are such good little buds. 

And to everyone and especially my other kids, I'm sorry for the disproportionate amount of baby in these.  Just know I love everyone equally, and I followed you all around gooing and gaahing when you were a baby too.  If in doubt, just ask your dad.  He was there, loving you too, and rolling his eyes at me.  :) 

 I love his little face in so many of these!  He looks SO happy.

 He is telling me how he and his little new buddies thought the giant fish under the water were pulling the ducks under.  Just smile and nod your head unless you want to argue.

Love these guys.

Weekend Round-up

My husband built me this gorgeous bookcase/bench.  It has been in the works a long time.  And the study is a big dust ball.  But isn't it pretty?  I think he did a great job.  We went out on a limb a little with the pendant lights but I love them.

 My kiddos love to have "sleepovers" with eachother on the weekend.  Even when I say no, I'll find someone asleep on someone else's floor or in their bed.  I love that they like eachother so much.  These two are special buds.

Cut baby's hair!  Sniff, sniff!  I have been putting it off because I was so sad and couldn't bring myself to do it, but he actually looks really super darling with his new little haircut.  More later.

How to Train Your Dragon (one of our favorites) in the park!  I love outdoor movies.  It was so fun to snuggle with the family on the blanket while eating donuts on a string. 

Rocket launch for my oldest, who built 2/3 of his rocket himself.  This was quite fun!  I was amazed at how high some of the rockets went.   Baby would jump every time one was launched, but still loved it.

 I got to see this gorgeous building twice on Saturday, once for a wedding, and once on my way to this.  I got to go with my aunt who I haven't seen for 16 years.  Then go see my sister's place.  It was a "me" date.  And I loved it.  So refreshing in so many ways.  And made me want to be better.
