legos and stuff

It looks like I might be a little behind on blogging. My bad. I haven't been very good about taking pictures—several days go by before I even think about it—probably because of the sleep deprivation. Here's what we've been up to the last couple of weeks.

Colin and Kate love their Legos. Which means I love their Legos. Because they will sit and play Legos nicely together several times a day.

Are you impressed with this house? Because you should be.

Colin went out to help his daddy with his tools.

They were being "Two Red Riding Hoods." Kate has already taken off her hood.

I have a picture similar to this of Colin. Gray is a very handsome, laid back baby. I love him.

When the older kids were getting ready for bed I noticed that they were both wearing Mickey Mouse pj pants and white shirts, and Gray happened to be in a white onesie, so I got his Mickey Mouse blanket out and had a photo shoot. I couldn't decide which pictures I liked the best, so I uploaded all of them. Thanks for the sweet pjs, Granny! (And thanks Lenna and DeAnna for sharing the hand-me-downs.)

Colin and Kate were cooking in their kitchen, and they convinced Nate to play with them. Colin got my apron out for him, and Nate was willing to put it on until he saw me get the camera out. I convinced him to be a good sport and let me take a picture. He acquiesced.

Gray on a seasonally inappropriate blanket.

Colin insisting I stop taking pictures of Gray and take one of him.

Colin's Lego house-train that he also insisted I take a picture of.

Kate looking drunk when I tried to take a picture of her.

Kate looking homeless when I tried to take a picture of her.

Kate looking like an adorable slob when I tried to take a picture of her.

Gray refusing to cooperate and look at me when I tried to take a picture of him.

Guess that's it for pictures. Colin and Kate got to go to the zoo with my brother Grant today. (Grant had to study the monkeys and write a paper for school, so he and his wife took my kids with them.) They had a great time, and Nate and I had a great time getting some shopping and chores done without them. Gray didn't seem to notice they were gone.

And speaking of Gray, he is 4 weeks old today. Yay! Hooray! He just may lay this way by the bay.
