watering the dirt

Now that we have a yard, we get to play in it, or the dirt that is in it. We have about half grass/weeds and half dirt. They are done with a house on the right, and almost done with the house on the left. Remember the flowers we got? Graham and I went outside to get them planted, and yes, this time, Graham made sure they had water. And he watered just about everything that afternoon. The grass, the dirt, the tree, me, himself; it was a lot of fun and super hot. 

we planted these seed bombs that we got at KJ wedding....we are waiting to see what pops up! Graham got to throw them in the trench I made. Fingers crossed something fun pops up....it is terrible dirt. 

elliott's sly smile

He started to really get into smiling right before he was 2 months. He loves looking at faces and watching his brothers!

this kid is taking it all in. He watched his brothers non stop and is absorbing all that they do. We are going to have our hands full with this group. 

love these smiles!

lowes tractors

Get ready for blog posts people....I have time, the kids are asleep, and a drink in my hand.
Catching up is fun to do!

We took advantage of a beautiful weekend morning to get some flowers at lowes. And, we always get a change to ride on the tractors, and this lovely flatbed cart. 

We picked out super colorful flowers, got home and planted them, forgot to water them on a super hot and sunny day, and they all died. whoops...don't worry, we got more!

Bennett really got a change to ride on them this summer....last summer we were moving around a bit so we didn't get a chance. 

Thank goodness they only put a few out on display, otherwise, we would be there all day!

survival

ugh....no posting due to survival mode taking over at our house.
3 little ones are proving to be no match for 2 parents. What we were thinking! Our work schedules are crazy and when not working, we are making it work with 3 very demanding, but adorable little boys! I hope to be posting soon. And yeah for us, they ALL were asleep in their own beds by 10 (Elliott proved to be difficult)!!!! We will see how long it lasts....parents need some serious sleep people!

my 3 little loves

 You would never know that on the other side of the window, they are building a house! 

Graham is really into wearing shorts right now, and Bennett doesn't fit in any of the pants I have available (my kid clothing selection is still in boxes in the basement), so he spends a lot of time in pajama pants (not that he cares). Elliott is almost out of newborn onesies, he is getting so big!

Look at the size of Bennett's feet....this kid is going to be HUGE! They all might be taller than me some day. 

Head control

Check him out! 8 weeks old and working his head/neck control. 

And it helps when your brother comes over to see what you are doing. 

Bennett is the best.
