Just a quick update

I know it seems late but Peter finally learned how to tie his shoes - they no longer teach this skill in school and his mom was a little slow in teaching him - okay - I lost patience in 1st grade and never went back to it!


Poor Lizzie wants to come outside in the morning when we wait for the bus but it was very cold so we left her at the door.
This doesn't happen very often so we take pictures when it does!

My handsome boy! Peter went for his 9 year check up last week and got a clean bill of health. He weighed in at 87 pounds 75% for weight and was 4 feet 11 1/2 inches - 200% for height! Perfect in every way!
My handsome boy all ready for school!

"Firepower!"
Molly's very sweet smile!

They were cute - I just couldn't stop clicking!

Lizzard waiting to be liberated this morning.
My beautiful kids!

Our friendly slug, Fred!

Wiating for the bus!

Auntie Beth sent one of her famous packages for the girls. I took a few pictures but mostly of Annie becuase when she took something out of the box and it was for her she would say "Fo me, YEAH!" She had us hysterics!
"Stickas, mama, fo me - stickas - happy happy happy!" I could just eat her up! Auntie Beth scored big with her package - Annie went to bed covered in stickers!
And Molly didn't like her Hannah doll at all - Auntie Beth knows her babies! Peter got some stuff, too but he was less cute and more irritating as he wanted to chew all the gum right then!
You'll notice that Molly girl is in her dance outfit - we had our 1st Irish Step Dance classes tonight followed by our first ever ballet class. Molly loved Irish but was a bit disillusioned by ballet - the teacher told us that it moves very slowly in the first few weeks and seems especially slow after a fast paced Irish class but they will get used to it. Molly seemed to like it so I think she'll be fine! She called Auntie beth to thank her for her classes because she was so excited to finally start them again!
How did Auntie Beth know? Annie ate the entire bag before 7 p.m.
I don't know if you all are checking out Auntie Beth's blog but it kicks butt! She is so much more prolific than I am and her blogs are really interesting - especially to those of us who miss her like crazy! Papa also updated his blog with the always anticipated Monday AAKEE update (PTM are all in school).

I love the TGIF/No Homework dance!

GNM - ILY!

Ahh, my heart skips a beat to see Annie so thrilled again...and with Molly's voice message of happiness with her classes-and the above smile for the Hannah Montana doll-I feel like a really good Auntie...and smart enough to ask their Mom for hints:-) Lizzard is mine to liberate soon...I love how you've used that word with her twice now...and my Ellie's smile above in Meg's arms...priceless...miss you lots...thanks for reading my blog and being kind about it:-)

Great pics. Annie just kills me! Good for Pete, we're trying with Luke but it's a slow go. Where is Molly taking ballet? Ella starts on Tuesday!! A tap/ballet combo and she's super excited!
Lots of love, Lisa
