HAPPY VALENTINES DAY
i love these 3 crazy kids

Parker's favorites lately:

*loves school and coming home to tell me all about it. getting good at writing his number and letters.

*likes to be the big brother and be the "leader" whatever they are doing

*likes to play in the snow. he is a crazy sledder and goes down big hills!

*is eating lots better. still his favorites but i don't have to fight him quite as much
*quotes lines from movies, always hilarious.

*loves his primary class, he says he just doesn't like the singing part
*love to bake cookies and help mom in the kitchen
*likes to build forts in the playroom and play bad guy good guy
*he is into earning money to go buy toys at the store by himself. (its awesome) sticker charts are great

Adam's favorites: 
* jumps off anything and everything. 

*runs, rarely walks anywhere

*makes the funniest faces, cracks us up daily

*likes to tease abby. taking her dolls, poking at her, whatever works

*sleeps in a BIG BED it has been a couple months, still can't believe it.

*follows parker around and wants to do whatever he does

*talks SO much! might not understand it but at least he's trying.

*he has his own language and it cracks us up. 

*hates getting dresses, but love putting shoes on. wants to wear boots all day, or his slippers

*likes to feed his toys while he eats. whatever works right!?

*he loves to sing songs. itsy bitsy spider, popcorn popping, and if you are happy and you know it, are his favorites

abigail's favorites:
*she is all ALL girl. she wants to dress up everyday. put all her bows in her hair, and be a princess
*she wants to wear princess dresses daily (her church dresses) i should just let her, she'd get more use out of them
*she carries her dolly around everywhere, makes a bed for her next to hers and lays blankets around her
*she is now in a BIG BED just this last week and loves it. she smiles every time she gets in, and thinks she is such a big girl. it's sad not seeing her crib...
*she loves her brothers and likes to follow them around. but then likes her alone time too. they gang up on her or something because she can only handle them for a bit then she's off by herself with her barbies and dolls
* barbies: she loves them. holds two up and they talk to one another, i love watching her play
*she loves playing outside in the snow. i think it is because she just wants to eat it! she likes to get bundled up with her hat and gloves
*she has quite the squeal and it's hard to calm her down when she gets crying! i've tried everything, she just needs to be left alone sometimes. she is one temperamental girl!
*she loves to wear shoes, her church shoes mostly. princess shoes she calls them...
*wants what the other kids have, and knows how to get it, screams! we are still working on this
*favorite thing she says is , O Thank you mommy! says it all day, i love it.

they are sure great kids, and are all at fun stages right now!
