More of a good thing

Ok, I am so excited that that last one worked that I am putting one more! This is my favorite part and really, can you beat Angela Lansbury dancing and singing while doing a little hocus pocus? It just makes me happy to watch. If you have never seen this movie, I am sure this tantalizing little tidbit will have you rushing to the library to rent it. . . or else you will just think it is REALLY weird. P.S. Turn off my music at the bottom so you can hear ALL the words!

Beautiful Briny Sea

Just thought I would share what Matthew and I have been watching for the past few weeks. We rented "Bedknobs and Broomsticks" from the library a few weeks ago and after watching it all week, have been watching our favorite parts on youtube! This is one of Matthew's favorites and I must admit, a classic! If this works, I may post my favorite part! Enjoy!

My latest find

For those of you who have been to Costco (in Lehi) lately, you may have noticed the stand along the main aisle when you come in full of really cute modest dresses. For those of you who haven't, you should go! Obviously I have been to Costco a few too many times this week because I have had time to look through them, go home and think about it, come back and see what new ones came in, try some on, and finally purchase! They are super cute and really good prices! I tried to include a picture from their web site but apparently I am not that blog-proficient because it didn't work. Anyway, I thought I would share their website in case anyone was looking for a dress and wanted to check it out. It is mikarose.com FYI: the prices online are more expensive than at Costco. The ones I liked were all about $15-20 cheaper at Costco ($28-$35) and they are only there till April 20th! After that they will be going to some Costco up in Salt Lake. The designer/owner of the company was there when I went and she was SO cute and helpful I thought I would give a little plug for her stuff! So hopefully some of you enjoy!

Feeding the Ducks

One of our favorite things to do is go feed the ducks over at the pond. We take as much bread as I feel I want to waste and Matthew throws huge chunks to these greedy ducks that I am sure are going to choke one day on the gargantuan pieces! Here is an action photo of him feeding them. He tries as hard as he can to get them to come to him, including calling them, "Here ducky, ducky! Come HERE ducky!" They keep their distance, though. Smart ducks.














Here Matthew and Nicole are "feeding the ducks." I put that in quotes because none of Nicole's bread ever actually reaches the ducks. . . or the water. Every piece I give her goes straight into her own mouth!

The Bean Museum

Recently we went to the Bean Museum down at BYU with our friends, the Seitzingers. It was so much fun and there were so many cool animals to look at - especially ones I never knew existed! Matthew and Ian's favorite was either the crocodile, which they kept going back to, or this bear, for obvious reasons. I have no idea how little boys become so violent! I certainly don't encourage it! :) Nicole's favorite thing was just running around as fast as she could. She must have been enjoying a sense of freedom because she wouldn't come when anyone called her. We're lucky we got her to stand still for this picture!

Preschool

Here are the cute preschool boys at our house this week! They were all playing over by the chair in the family room and after a second I couldn't see any of them so I went over and looked behind the chair and this is what I found! Since relations are not always this cordial when they're all together I felt this was a moment to be documented!

Sneaking toys

Nicole loves anything Matthew loves. If she can get her hands onto Matthew's favorite toys and make off with them, it is a good day for her. Lately she has been taking Matthew's favorite stuffed dog and running as fast as her little legs will carry her with Matthew screaming behind her! This particular picture is from when I caught her after she found Matthew's other favorite toys - the lizards. There are 5 prized lizards and apparently she couldn't fit them all in her hands but that didn't stop her. This is how I found her roaming the kitchen, enjoying her spoils!

What we do for fun!

It has been forever since we updated our blog - mostly, I think, because we haven't done anything interesting to blog about! But I don't want people to think we have given up so here we go: a pretty typical activity on a pretty typical day! Welcome to my life! (Our poor kids and their ghetto toys! I like to think I am encouraging imagination.)
