Happy St.Patrick's Day!!!

So I thought I would use the excuse of St.Patrick's day to try and get some cute pictures of the boys...some successfull shots...some not so successful!

All three fellas with their sparkly green on so that they do not get pinched...personally I do not think plain green is good enough...it should have to be sparkly!Luc with his pot of gold...he was quite interested in it!
But mostly interested in dumping it all out!
Matthew LOVING his pot of gold...I don't think that he could have a bigger smile if he tried!

Uh-oh!

Nathan with his gold...I had to set the pot back up 4 times to get a picture of him with it before he dumped it...as you can tell I just barely got this one!

and dumped!

My three little loves

Here are a few of the outtakes...it is getting more and more challenging to get a picture of the three of them...especially without Bones in it trying to lick them!

HIGH CHAIRS!!!

John and I had discussed it and decided that we were going to try and get by without getting actual highchairs. We have the ones that clip on the counter and they work great for when I am working in the kitchen, but not so great for feeding the boys. We had been feeding them in their bumbos which was working pretty good but got to be kinda tough on the feeders (my) back!

So on Saturday we went to the mall with Grammy and got some highchairs...they are wonderful!

Here is Lucas loving his chairMatty in his

Nate playing in his

If I had been looking a little better the last couple of days I would have had John take a picture of me sitting in the lazyboy feeding them (instead of on the floor) and you could see how much Mommy enjoys the new chairs too!

Last night John and Uncle G went to play poker so Aunty K and Fella came over to help play with, feed and put the boys to bed. While we were bbqing Fella (Aunty K's Fella...not one of mine!) was outside jumping up on the window and the boys all thought that it was HILARIOUS! Kels and I went out and took turns entertaining the boys from outside...if one of the neighbors was watching they probably thought that we were hilarious too...that or maybe they just thought that we were crazy!

Aunty K and Fella...

The Happy Audience!

So just to follow up on the last post we are ALL BETTER NOW!!! After I wrote about Nate getting sick we knew we were in for a rough night...but we did not know quite how rough it was going to be! The two sick boys slept great but I got sick at about 1:30am and John shortly after. Thank goodness for our wonderful family and friends that helped us get through Friday...we could not have done it without you!

I LOVE these boys!

So the absolute funnest (is that even a word???) thing happened today...the fellas played together for the first time, melts a mommas heart! I managed to get this one picture while I was tearing up...I know I know I am such a baby!This scenerio seems to be happening more and more...the pin! I don't know if these boys are going to be wrestlers or not...but if they are Nate always seems to have the upperhand!

Just hanging out (notice Nathan ready to pin unsuspecting Matthew at any second!)

Some more playing...the picture makes it look like they are good at sharing...which is not quite the case yet!
So all of the fun pictured above we managed to fit in the 7.5 hours between Matthew's last puke and Lucas's first...that's right the flu has hit our house! Luckily Matthew and Lucas have managed to stay fairly happy throughout the whole process, unless you saw them puking you probably would not believe that they were sick

Here is Matty having a little nap

This is what he looked like while he was awake, hanging out in his housecoat (I wonder if he will grow to love it as much as his Dad does...for those of you who do not know John he has been known to shovel the driveway in his housecoat AND he once delivered a few hockey jerseys to my school one morning WEARING HIS HOUSECOAT!!! Last time I forget my jersey on jersey day!!! HAHAHA)

And here is our Little Lizard snoozing

And this was the "awake" picture that I got of him!!!

We are keeping our fingers crossed that Nathan can make it through without catching this but if he does we just hope that he is half as happy as the other two have been!

7:52 - CRAP, thats three! Nurse GAK is on the way!

Houston...we have a sitter!

Matthew has started to sit on his own!!! I still either put a pillow behind him or stay super close but everyday he is more and more steady, and the other fellas are not far behind!

Here are some pictures of our sitter...try and ignore the drool!
