Baby Nicholas is here and more arts and crafts!

Baby Nicholas arrived last Thursday Jan 23rd - almost two weeks late! Ash finally had to be induced and he arrived at 6:16 after a few hours of pushing. 7 lbs 10 oz and perfect.

Hayden met him this week but the twins haven't yet. Soon though! Hayd seemed slightly interested in Nicholas and very interested in little puppy Butkiss.

They have been very busy with all their arts and crafts projects.  I have been a bunny drawing/cutting factory. Other requests have been gingerbread men, hearts, letters and other items.  They cut, color, paint, tape.

Conor loves making pictures for us and came home super excited yesterday with pictures he drew from school and created a wall of pictures in our bedroom.

We met Abby, Sophie, Sharon and Liz last night for dinner at Chick Fil A.  They had a blast as always.  Hayd and Abby were duking it out for who was the most bossy.  Hayden has been SUPER bossy and willful recently.  We had karate and i was racing to get everyone dressed. I would get her dressed in her karate outfit and one minute later she would be naked and screaming! Impossible age!

In other news - she has gone all week without an accident and no diapers!! Go Hayd!!

Carousel time

Hayd was feeling a little under the weather this morning - cough and congested.  So I decided to keep her home from Ms. Sandy's.  She has been obsessed with Peppa Pig recently.  I asked her, do you want to go to the gym daycare or come watch Peppa Pig while I use the exercise bike.  So, peppa pig it was!

We picked up Mad and Conor and headed to the plymouth meeting mall to eat lunch at Chick Fila and ride the carousel with the Flemings and Peggy and her kids (Christian, Campbell and Tilly).  Fun day but Hayd was cranky and melting down by the time we left.

Diana is back from Jamaica. She read the kids a book tonight and currently they are still awake (8:10 pm), but am hoping they will go to bed soon! Hayd just moved up to their room and is impossible to get to sleep at night. She gets out of bed, talks to twin and doesn't end up asleep til 9:30-10 pm! ugh
