Spring Fever

On Monday Barrett and I got spring crafty and wanted to share it with the world!

We 1st painted coffee filters and cut them out to look like flowers. Than we taped them on our front door and got out the paint to paint our front door! We made sure the sun was BIG and BRIGHT!

 than we added stems and grass 


Barrett had so much fun painting


its pry not the prettiest but it sure brings some color in our front door!

pretty sure the helmet is double his head size but he loves it

the girls LOVE their hoppy pillows

Jeff was gone all week last week, so by Wednesday I was going just a bit stir crazy. So, I ventured out of the house with all 3 kids to do a little grocery shopping. As you can see i didn't have a lot of room for groceries but we got what we needed!

Stats

This week was our check up week,  Barrett had his 3 year check up and the girls their 2 month.

 Barrett and I enjoyed our afternoon out. We went to McDonalds for lunch, his appointment and than shopping for daddy's birthday present!
Barrett continues to be a "petite" little guy (as the dr says)  He weighs 30 lbs and is 3' tall.  He loved his check up and kept telling his doctor that he was now a Big Brother!

 Brinley now weighs 7 lbs 15 oz and is 20" long

 Berlin weighs 8 lbs 1 oz and is 19 7/8" long

 Both girls are doing wonderful. Even though they are 2 months old the doctor only assess them as if they were 3 weeks old. They will continue to asses them according to their actual due date (Jan 23) and not their actual birthdate. So until they are 2 years old they will be 7 weeks behind in everything according to medical terms.

They continue to eat 2.5 -3 oz every 3 hrs. They are starting to wake up a bit more during the day and just loving looking around.
