Painting

I bought the boys wooden christmas trees and snowmen. They love to paint, so this was a fun craft for them to do since we have been stuck inside all week! The babies were locked in baby jail when we did it, ha ha.

He has the goofiest smile at times!

Very serious about his painting

Definitely not allowed near the paint! Look how nicely Emma can stand now- she is getting stronger everyday! She really WANTS to walk, but her ankles are so weak it is going to be awhile. She starts physical therapy in a few weeks and I am hoping that will be the extra boost she needs. She will actually get on her knees (butt off the ground) and try to walk like that. She sees everyone else walk around and she wants to do it, too!

Cuteness

We had a spur of the moment photo shoot the other day. Anyone that has been to my house knows that I have my naked baby bums displayed proudly in my bathroom. I normally do these pics at 6 months- by this time, my boys were nice and plump (20-25 lb range!) and they always made the cutest pictures! Well, Emma didn't join the family until she was 15 months old. Good thing she is a tiny tot. She is actually smaller than ALL my boys were at 6 months old- so yes, I did the naked baby shot! I tried really hard to make it look "not creepy." I mean, she is a little old for this! But, she can't walk yet and she is so little- so I think it turned out just fine. After those pictures, I decided to put her in a tutu and get a few shots- oh my, her cuteness is overwhelming!!!!

Here it is, the picture that will join my boys in the bathroom.

Another Christmas at the Fischer house!

The tree is up but it is lacking one thing- ornaments on the bottom half! I guess that is life when you have 2 babies! The big boys loved decorating it. Unfortunately, the babies missed out. We did it when they were napping to avoid as much chaos as possible. It is now 4 days until Christmas and I have yet to get a picture of the little ones hanging their ornaments (I do that picture every year!) But- it will get done. It might be Christmas morning, but it will get done! I can't believe that next week the tree will be coming DOWN. Time is really flying by these days!

The kids thought this was so cool. They ate popcorn and watched a movie under the "home made" tent! We threw a sheet over the dining room table and boy oh boy, you should have seen how excited those kiddos were! When Andrew got in he said "Matthew lets hug because this is so much fun!" They actually slept under there 2 nights in a row- that's right, I am the coolest mom ever!

The outside view

This doesn't even begin to capture what these kids do to our basement- it is destroyed daily! And note- Timmy is on the train table. He climbs on EVERYTHING. Yes, we have entered that stage of toddler-hood!

This picture cracks me up. You have to blow it up to get the full enjoyment out of it- Emma has the naughtiest grin on her face, as if she was responsible for this disaster!

This little guy has me wrapped around his finger. Everything he does is SO.DARN.CUTE. Don't get me wrong- he is pure trouble. I mean, just look at that face! I am trying to enjoy every minute because there will be no more babies in the Fischer house. The way he thinks everything is a phone and puts it to his ear- the way he sits and focuses on a book- oh my, I could video tape him all day he is just so cute.

Emma with the big brothers

By the tree- I think her bow makes her look like a Christmas present!

4 little monkeys jumping on the bed!

Yes, we have double trouble in this house!
