Boys morning in and hiding from dinosaurs

Mommy leaves the house for a few hours to get her haircut, and the boys come out to play! They call it a boys night/day whenever I go somewhere. They had a dance party in the kitchen (we often do this while we're getting dinner ready). Daddy took some great pictures!Because I am going to print this blog off eventually and give the boys binded copies I wanted to include things they like at the moment. Connor is a big fan of the show Monster Buster Club (these kids work hard in a nonviolent way to solve mysteries and get rid of aliens). He is also a big fan of American Idol. We like trying to figure out if they're going to make it to Hollywood or not.

Nolan wants to be just like his big brothers. Here are the two boys with their backpacks truckin' all over the house on an adventure.

Jacob is a neat freak. He saw a streak of something on the fridge and decided the whole fridge needed to be wiped.
Nolan apparently loves almonds. Is this odd? I don't remember the other two boys liking any type of nut.

We finally got around to doing Connor's Pixos that he got for Christmas.

My dear friend from high school, Sara, brought her three lovely kids over to play late this afternoon. They moved back to Owatonna from Tennessee awhile ago and this is only the third time we have gotten together. We have completely opposite work schedules. I treasure the times we do get to be together and visit (as much as possible with 6 kids around us!). The kids warmed up to each other by the end of our time together and were running all over the place. They're hiding from the dinosaurs in this picture.
