Odds and ends

So the rule at our house is when our kids are fighting they end up in a hugging timeout - for an indefinite length of time - that the parents get to decide. At this particular time - Addie and Jax were fighting so they had a 5 minute hugging time-out. Gray, was NOT in trouble or even involved. He did, however, walk through the room when it was happening and seemed to think it was just a big fun LONG hug, so he decided to get in on the action...

Gray has been waiting for his birthday to come forever it seems like and couldn't wait to have a "friend" party. Here are all of his little buddies at that party - he had the best time. Props to Bailee who was the ONLY girl there. . .

Matt found the build-a-bear helmet for a bear of the boys and decided to put it on Emma. . .

Poor Emma - she got tired, no pun intended, of waiting for her brothers to finish lunch so that naptime could start. . . Cute girl right?
