Slacker

Wow, has it been 2 weeks since I last posted?? I don't have any good excuses for not posting sooner. I will just use the nice weather. The kids hate to be inside and all the fresh air has us going to bed early. The kids are both doing great. Reid is talking a ton. He is really good at repeating things you ask him to. Elsie is slowly increasing her vocabulary. She's a sly one. You don't think she knows any of the words and then she just quietly says it. Reid is just loud and vocal. Reids favorite things these days are trucks and tractors. He is all boy. I can't wait to bring him home to Huron County in a couple of weeks to take him to a farm. Elsie is definately all girl, whining over every little thing that Reid does to her. He steals every toy that she picks up and I know it is on purpose half of the time to make her scream. She lost her 2nd bottom tooth and now has a really cute little toothless grin. She is having a hard time eating corn on the cob. Nothing to rip the corn kernels off with. They are on the go from the time they wake up until we go to bed at night.
These are a few of my favorite pictures from over the past 2 weeks.

Today we went to the Detroit Science Center with Phia, Megan, Nicholas, Matthew and Donna and Addy(I didn't really get any good pics of my kids with Addy) This pic cracks me up. I thought I would get a pic of the boys since they all looked cute in their blue striped shirts. Apparently Matthew didn't think it was a good idea. Thats Nicholas holding Reid with his devilish grin, getting ready to take off. Here are Nicholas, Megan and Matthew on the forklift with Reid and Elsie.
Megan with Reid and Elsie.
Elsie playing in the ball pit and looking pretty cute with her little piggie tails. She actually kept them in all day right up until bedtime.
Reid just being Reid.Cute all the time.
This was our first attempt at piggie tails. I didn't post the first pic of the tears, and then the pics with the blankies to help soothe the tears and then finally this pic, lounging in her chair watching Elmo.
A favorite pastime these days, wearing mommy and daddy's shoes.
And last but not least. The Red Wings winning the Stanley Cup!!!!!!!! These are a couple of pics from the 2nd last game. Our neighbour hooked up his projection tv so we could all watch it together on his garage. The first period was rough since it was still too light outside, but once it got dark, it looked great. We all brought lawn chairs and hung out. I was able to stay out with everyone until the 2nd OT period when one of the kids woke up. Unfortunately Rob was out of town for the winning game and I had to work that night. Rob's mom was here and said it looked like a great party again and they set off fireworks when they won.
