Picnics, Fro-yo, & Cookies

A few weeks ago, we went to Super Smokers for a fine dining experience. There were 4 families which equated if 634 kids and 6 adults... Okay, it was 12 kids and 8 adults (pretty much the same thing), but it was quite a scene. John thought he was pretty big stuff trying to put a straw in his sippy cup like everyone else.

We've decided Noah is old enough to do housework. I'm retiring. I just sit around and eat bon-bons while he runs the vacuum and does my housework. He always likes to help. And he is such a great helper.

John's hair just cracks me up... It's so long, but yet it looks short and well kept because of the super tight curls. He hasn't yet had a hair cut. (By the time Noah was this age, he'd had 4.)

In spite of some really nasty weather, we've also had some really great weather too. We've been having picnics. It's a little extra work to get everyone outside, but the clean up is a bit easier... I don't have to pick up all the food off the ground. We just leave it for our chipmunk (even though he broke our air conditioner last year).

As mentioned some time ago, our house is on the market (or was). Our realtor recommended we paint the basement floor the spruce it up a bit before we officially listed it. So, we put Noah to work once again. He loves to help mommy and daddy. We listed our house on a Saturday and had an offer the next day. Eureka, here we come (if we can decide on some flooring)!

A few weeks ago (everything seems to be a few weeks ago...who is running this blog anyway!), we took the boys to Orange Leaf for some fro-yo. John and I secured an outside table while Greg and Noah went in to get the fro-yo. I told Greg to get Noah one of the fruit flavors and just get fruit on it. He came out with a LOT for fro-yo with chocolate syrup and M&Ms. And there was some fruit too... Noah was so happy with his treat.

Excuse the poor picture quality, but you use what you've got, right? I had the boys in the tub and Noah started washing John's hair. It was very sweet.

There's not much to say about this picture... Cookies in the oven.

Last week, we surprised MiMi for her birthday. While there, John pushed Poppy's little red chair around the kitchen (taking Hippo for a ride). My dad learned to walk pushing this same chair.

John made his first pictures last week. He made Mother's Day cards for Grandma and MiMi. He did have it all over himself too... Big mess.
