First, some random pictures from the first half of March:
It has been so snowy/rainy the past month or so off and on. The boys of course think all the mud is fabulous and one day I made them all strip down before they could come back inside. I had to get a picture of them watching cartoons in their undies/diapers. It will be great blackmail material for when they're older....
Everyday the babies get better and better about playing with each other/entertaining themselves. Plus it's finally been warm enough to play outside so we're all happier :) They are true boys and love digging in the dirt and rocks.
Tiernan was so proud that he did this puzzle all by himself. He made me take a picture of his hard work!
Jaxson was having a hard time sleeping the other night, and I snagged this hilarious picture of him and Daddy. Yes, I am completely obsessed with babies sleeping. I think I may need an intervention because it's probably a little creepy.
In other news, about mid-January we FINALLY broke ground on our new house! Back in October we purchased a few acres and it took that long just to get the permits (and other red tape gov't nonsense) pushed through. Then the build was delayed a few times due to nasty cold weather...overall it's just been an exercise in patience/frustration. We will be SO incredibly overwhelmed with thankfulness once it is finally complete at the end of April. And not a minute too soon, since this baby will probably make his appearance the end of May. So, to re-cap....the to-dos in the next three months are....finish building the house, pack and move being 9 months pregnant (with four small children in tow!), and have a baby. Not too much, right? This is all good stuff, but I'm trying not to be overwhelmed by the seemingly endless list of things to get done. On the plus side, I'm nesting at the same time as we're moving, so I'm sure we'll be getting rid of alot of unnecessary things before we pack up! A girl can dream! Anywho, here are some pictures of the boys "helping" with the build. They can't wait to have all kinds of space to run around and dig in the dirt. Neither can the adults.....
Cameron and Tiernan got to help Daddy in the mini excavator when Ethan was digging to put in the septic system.
Ethan tried to have me use the laser level to help him out so he didn't have to keep jumping in and out of the excavator. I'm thankful he is the most patient person I know because that was an exercise in futility. I kept moving the wand thing around (does this give any indication how much help I was??) and mostly Ethan still had to jump in and out to recheck everything I did.
The twins loved running around in the holes that Ethan dug.
The boys were helping Daddy fill in the dirt above the propane line. PS I've having to learn all these new things about living in the country. Propane line?? Where is the gas line? And what the heck is a septic system? Okay, I did know about that, since we did have one growing up-but haven't ever experienced putting one in. What an operation!
The boys loved running around in the trenches. Which I found out later is actually really dangerous due to dirt collapsing on people. OOOOOPPPSSS
The boys also loved running around the foundation. They called it "the maze." It was so cute!
We can't wait to move! It is so peaceful and quiet.....which will promptly change when we move out there. Sorry, new neighbors!
