Trying to get a good picture of all three

Why is Will looking at me like that? I just want a good picture. Abby is looking great but it looks like Harper is trying to pinch her...or take her shirt off. The matching outfits are ADORABLE again!!!!

Abby is going to get Harper back now. You think that Abby's arm around Harper is just sweet...it is actually very dangerous for Harper. Abby is going to pull Harper over any minute. The baby is a good in a sitting up pose, but is no match for Abby's strength. Too bad, since Harper is probably the happiest I've ever seen her. Will is watching TV.

Abby and Harper are not looking at me. Will has now moved away from me. Check him out in the background with his vogue pose. I guess I am going to have to go pay money to get the kids looking good all in the same picture. Well, I guess when they are all in the car they take pretty good pictures. Hey kids, get in the backseat, mommy needs to take a picture!

Football with the Family

We went outside and played football in this extreme July heat. Here is Will getting ready to throw the football. On the other end is......is Abby ready and waiting for her turn. Will learned that if he waited long enough to throw the football, Abby would yell a lot. He likes making her angry. Matt is coaching. Here is the shot right after Will had launched it. I refer back to my statement that Will is better than me at most sports. And here is the shot right after Abby launched it. She has not yet surpassed my sporting ability. Soon.

What is Harper up to during this little game? Sitting on the grass being a good baby.

What am I doing during the little family game? Sitting on a chair drinking a glass of wine. That is my idea of a perfect sporting event.

Mayhem continues....

Because the last post is fresh in my mind, tonight I asked Matt to stay in the car for 5 extra minutes so I could snap a picture for my blog. Here is what the Mayhem looked like after a late evening out at a cook out and pool party.

Here is what was going on in the front seat. Love you Matt. :)

The Mayhem in the Backseat

Yes, I dream about minivans at night. We haven't taken the plunge yet, but I talk about it often. In the meantime, all three kids pretty much fill up the backseat of my car. Here is the view from the front seat. (yes this picture is staged, as you can see no one is wearing a seat belt AND no one is screaming.)It is super loud, but I think they have fun back there.

Matching Dresses Strike Again

Can't....stop....buying....matching....clothes....

The Best Reward

The big kids love to sleep in our room. However, I don't want them to sleep in my bed because they kick and steal the covers.

If they are really good, we let them sleep in our room.-- just on the floor. I realized it when I said it to a friend of mine..."If the kids are good, I let them sleep on the floor." You should have seen the look on her face. Then I said. "No they WANT to sleep on the floor. They like it."

(Yeah Anna, that sounded better. Really smooth.)

Here is the picture evidence that rewarding them with a chance to sleep on my floor is not as bad as it sounds.
