Happy life pictures

Our first pets, 5 baby chicks, one for each child. 

Happily named Moo Toe (Adam), Lady Peep Peep (Eliza), Fluffy (Merry), Feather Rose (Grace) and Jacob opted to wait and name his baby chick.

Jacob's chick must have taken offense to the no name because we found it laying with its wings splayed out in the crate.  I had 4 very unhappy kids hovering over the chicken crate.  Adam announced "It's donna det dead."  Which I interpreted to mean the chick is going to die.  I think they expected me to fix the broken chick, so I picked it up and cupped it in my hand and patted it on its little chicken back.  The chick promptly puked all over the floor.  I put the chick back in the crate and it limped around feeling sorry for itself, by the next day it was back to normal.  The chick was then name Lazareth, hopefully it is a rooster.  

Adam adores entertaining Eliza.  

I think he is singing Eliza the Reduce, Re-use, Re-cycle song.  It is never too early to start learning about carbon footprints.

Sweet Eliza finds him very amusing.

You mean disposable diapers are killing baby Pandas?

Eliza, ready to go for the day.

Happy 4 months Eliza

Look who is already 4 months old.

Time flies when you are having fun.

She has just enough hair on the sides to make 2 piggy tails.

She has also turned into a closet thumb sucker, much to my chagrin.

Merry's dress details

Merry's dress details for project run and play.

Ruffly sleeves.

A round yoke with a micro pleat border, a pleated gather and contrasting tiny waist band.

Contrasting trim around the pockets and dirty finger nails because that is how my girls play.

My favorite part the pearly snaps.

All to get the perfect picture of Merry.

I forgot to take a picture of the yoked back with double top stitching.

Happy birthday Beth

Wow that is a lot of smoke.

Happy Easter

Our pretty Easter Lily.

The egg dyeing party.

Love Adam and Grace in the back ground.

Our eggs and a half-eaten sandwich.

The supervisor/

accomplice.  I think Adam dyed his fingers more than the eggs.

Egg dyer extraordinaire.

Adam hunting eggs.

Eliza at 3 months

Little Eliza at 3 months.  Some of her hobbies include

trying to eat her whole hand,

sticking out her tongue,

smiling,

and roll,

roll,

rolling.

And being loved by her siblings, of course.

Happy St. Patty's day

Warning: Random picture overload.

 The wearing o' the green.

Notice the large building in the back, that has to live in my house for 3 more weeks. 

Eliza says "green rocks.'

 Adam and his sweet sisters.

Merry with her crazy face.

Miss Grace.

 Merry, Merry.

Adam, the cheese-miester.

Some one should really tell his mother to wash his face.

Eliza upon her throne.

 I am bored with this, please carry on.

 The required silly face photo, Grace style,

Adam style,

and finally Eliza style.

"A pirate, a pirate, a pirate say argggg."  You know you were singing the Backyardigans song.
