I haven't been getting out my "good" camera lately. So I haven't posted in awhile. All these pictures are from my iPhone in the past couple weeks.
We have been busy doing our normal everyday stuff - ballet, preschool, swimming lessons, yoga and tumbling. We have enjoyed some nice weather, a trip to Seattle, The Rainforest Cafe, some Valentines Day fun and KiDiMu (the childrens museum).
No one has been getting alot of sleep around here, because Garrison has decided he is scared of his room. His bedtime routine now takes about an hour and each time he wakes up in the night - he calls for me. He has told us there are monsters, dinosaurs, dragons and bad witches in his room. He usually is so adamant he has Grayson scared too. He even had me scared one night when he was scared stiff (literally, couldn't even pick him up) and he swore there was another person in his room. I am anxious for this nightmare to be over and get back to him feeling cozy and safe in his room and everyone being able to sleep without him calling for me half the night.
The kids have been both fighting colds although I think they are on the mend now. Grayson has been working diligently on learning her letters and numbers. She is thriving in ALL her extra-curricular activities and will be performing in Beauty and the Beast in May - she's a bumblebee.
Moses has been busy with work, enrolling in his PhD program and filing our taxes. We have been trying to mentally and financially prepare for the sequestration - that hopefully will not take place.
The kids have a way of keeping me busy at all times. Just this morning, as everything was running smooth... Garrison was telling me to look at his slippers - I did. Couldn't see anything was different with them. About five minutes later he took them off and showed me how he had put his orange slices in them and had been walking around on the oranges. Ahhhh! Never a dull moment!

| Moses told Grayson if she ate all her lunch she could order this. She did - so M ordered her the "volcano cake". The waitress says "sir, you know that serves 6, right?" Umm, who spoils her?! |

| Moses would say this is proof Garrison is coddled too much by Grayson and I. |
