I LOVE THESE KIDS!!!

Kids are so much fun.  Especially when the weather is PERFECT! AND when there are TONS of other kids and activities around!  Let me preface this by saying that this is the MOST amazing neighborhood for families.  The MOMS Club is here and SUPER active.  Our street is FULL of kids that ALL play in the cul de sac EVERY SINGLE DAY!  And even though they are of MANY MANY ages, they all play together SO WELL!  Seriously, BEST PEOPLE EVER!  This was the best decision we could have made for the family.  LOVING IT!  So, here's what we have been up to...

Cul-de-sac play time...

 Park time...

 We went to the MOM EXPO that my friend puts on every year in The Woodlands.  She did an amazing job.  There was even a monkey, but B was a bit shy...

 Come on, we have to have a pic of this kid with a monkey!

 They thought they were so cool...

 Back inside at the Expo, B did this really cool fine motor activity with marshmallows and dried pasta...

 One morning per weekend I try to make cinnamon rolls.  Currently, it is the only meal containing gluten that I serve.  I am going to work on a GF recipe, but for now we use the Immaculate Bakery Cinnamon Rolls, and I usually serve bacon (the "healthy" kind) with them.  I like having this special tradition for the kids.  Ryan usually wakes up while the kids are at the table eating, so it's a nice family time.  B wanted to help this morning...

 I wanted to give Bekah a better view, but she just wanted to play with the gas...

 They all enjoy this special treat!
