The Circus Bowl

On Sunday night we went over to the Martels to watch the Super Bowl. Brian made some great ribs, the kids put on a halftime show ("The Girl who wanted to be a Knight") and the most deserving team won (as long as the Miami Dolphins weren't playing).

clockwise:

Keira, Nolan, Aiden, Lukas, Phoebe, Katharine, Liam and Lennon

"Saints Win!"

Alligators, apples, carrots and bunnies

Library hours

Jeramy took Maya and Katharine to the library this afternoon. They were apparently glued to their chairs like this for the hour or so that they were there.

Fashion flair

Iria e-mailed me this picture at work today- another shot of Keira exhibiting her unique sense of style.

Seven kids on a rope

A jump rope plus seven kids = a lot of fun and a strained back.

Julie snapped these at Lukas's birthday party in December. Thanks for the pics!

Baby Doll

Keira has started carrying dolls around recently, growing up more and more every day.

It is funny how those nurturing instincts kick in at an early age for girls...

while the boys are another story altogether.

Huddling Up

Both Keira and Lennon came down with some kind of nasty virus on Thursday afternoon, and they (and us) have had to endure just about every messy, wet and smelly symptom in the book. Both older kids have never went through anything like that, so they are holding out Alamo-style in Katharine's room tonight.

Tea and Company

Katharine had her birthday party today at a quaint little tea room in Plano. Some of her closest friends were in attendance -

Charlotte

Maya

Gabby

Emma

and Trinity.

The place also sold toys- what more could a girl ask for?

Meanwhile, back at home...

Lukas and Lennon were passed out after their "Saturday morning TV". This reminds me why they don't get to watch it during the rest of the week.

Keira also did a bit of napping, and she woke up with some pretty crazy hair (even for her).

Later on, Jeramy and Maya came over for some dinner and to whisk Katharine away to a sleepover at their house. It is 10:40 and we still haven't gotten the "I want to come home" call... so maybe she will finally make it through the night at one of her friend's houses.
