Sara's 1st Haircut

I've got a lot of posts to catch up on from the holidays.  Our computer is on its last leg and is causing all sorts of problems with posting pictures which is why I am so behind.  I'll start with Sara's first haircut that she got back in December.  As you will see from the pictures, she was not at all happy about it and cried until the very end.  We tried bribing her with lollipops and binkys but nothing worked.  Oh well, her hair looked cute in the end but I plan on avoiding another haircut for as long as possible.

 The binky didn't work either.

 Okay...almost done.

Wait, I thought you said I was all finished?

 The finished product.

 Can we go home now?

Ski Bums

We took the boys skiing this past weekend at Wachusett.  We have been talking about it for three years now and we finally bit the bullet and did it.  Originally our plan was to put them in ski lessons since the idea of us (aka Eric) teaching them was a disaster waiting to happen.  However, we waited too long so by the time we went to sign them up, the lessons were full.  So after much discussion (and I mean A LOT) we decided to take them anyways and just hope for the best.  

Fast forward to the end of the day and I can say that overall the day was a huge success.  The boys did awesome for their first time skiing!  We started skiing at 10:15 and didn't stop until 3:30 (with a brief break for lunch)!  After a few runs down the bunny slope, we headed over to the bigger mountain and even got them up using the ski lift!  Jack had a few minor meltdowns but he sucked it and kept going.  By the end of the day, Will was going up the magic carpet and down the mountain all by himself (with his friend Kieran).  He was waiting for us at the bottom!

We had so much fun and I can't wait to take them again!  Here are a few pictures from the day.

Check out Will's skiing ability.  Pretty impressive for his first time!  Unfortunately we didn't get one of Jack.

And one more.  Doing good (minus the ending).

Boys

Sara already has the boys eating out of her hands.....

Breakfast of Champions

Sara helped herself to breakfast....half a bag of pirates booty.   But at least she took the time to put it in a bowl, right?

A girl and her cookies

I love decorating cookies...

 ...but eating frosting right from the bottle is so much better!
