Freedom comes in a stroller!

This is what freedom looks like- a Berg design quad "runabout" stroller. It does not help us avoid attention when out (on the contrary this "bus" attracts it), but, it sure makes maneuvering with all four babies so much easier, and will allow me time outside the home with the kids on weekdays ALONE. Thing is so big it came with its own hitch to attach to the back of the vehicle. The only thing I didn't like was that the seats are hard plastic... we took apart the swing cushions (that alas, Lucas and Matilda have broken trying to pretend they are "babies" and climbing into) and used an extra car seat cushion, plus a high chair cushion to get them cozy.




Matilda has finally taken a liking to hair bows. Don't get me wrong- I still have to hold her down to clean her face and she still gets infuriated if we dare gesture toward her nose with a kleenex, but, after seeing me wear a matching hair bow she will wear hers, and more than that she enjoys how she looks in her hair bow and will go pose in front of her little fisher price vanity when wearing it. It matches the color of mac and cheese on her face. Ugh. Well, we will start small and work up, eh?



Took this silly picture of Lucas in the bathtub last week. Looks like a perfect candidate for a "Jones Soda" bottle, doesn't it? What a goofy little fella he is! He makes these goofy faces all the time.



I have been calling Rowan "Sinatra". I sure hope his eyes stay this shade of blue. Everyone remarks on his large blue eyes. His hair sticks straight up on his head and he sucks his thumb. But oh those big blues!



Ewan is such a ham. He just breaks into a big silly spit bubble smile anytime you speak to him.



I have more to add to this and will edit over the next couple days...
