My cutie patatooties

So my kids are close in age and usually have a love/hate relationship.  Lately they love much more than they dislike each other so they have been getting into all kinds of trouble together.  And of course everything brother can do, sister can do better, this seems to be the motto in my house.  (Please ignore my daughter's lack of shorts, lately she pulls them off as soon as I look away.)

Mackenzie is trying to pull her brother on the blanket.  He is ginormous and she had a hard time getting him around.

She finally has given up and has decided to play with him, I love their smiles!! 

 Schroeder has decided it's his turn, of course Z is much easier to pull around.

 Mama and Schroeder before school (ignore the jelly covered mouth)

 Z decided she should pose for Daddy

Z got a new Dora nightgown and a pink hat, so she decided she should wear her new nightgown in the middle of the day.  And Schroeder thought he should wear a hat if she was wearing a hat.  Of course, he picked one of Z's hats.  

What is she thinking, that is a confused look. 

My Dora gown and spring hat, tada!

Thomas the Train

Ryan is home and we are super excited.  Yay!! He started work today at his new job in the Woodlands.  We are trying to decide if we want to stay in our house or try to sell our house and move closer to his office.  We already tried to sell our house in the last 2 years and it didn't get many viewings, so we don't know yet what we are doing.  

I visited a friend's blog recently and saw that she and her family did A Day with Thomas and it looked awesome.  We lucked out in that it was in Rusk this past weekend which is only 3 hours away from us.  So we packed up the kids on Thursday and took them on a suprise trip to Rusk, TX.  The kids were very excited about sleeping in a hotel and stayed up till 10:30, eek.  We got up early Friday morning and went to the train station.  We had so much fun and the people were all very friendly.  The Thomas train will be in Burnet in September and we might just have to go do it again. 

Goobers

I haven't taken many pictures lately because we have been taken over by sickness in this house.  We've been sick about 7/8 times since the end of December.  Many times we get sick just 2 weeks after getting better from the last time we were sick.  So I have rarely taken my camera out, but I am hoping to rectify this soon. 

 We got new couches in December and the kids love to bounce and play all over them.  I decided to take some pictures of the kids being goobers.
