I haven't been taking as many pictures as I should be but I did get a few at the park with the Pippus' this past weekend.
Some fun on the slide. Liam was scared and only went one, maybe two times. Dylan and Evan liked it and even went on their own. Dylan kept going back to climb back up. He's an adrenaline junkie.
I really wish I had the time to blog more often. Life is so full there isn't really room for much computer time. But I can say that everyone is doing well. There are a couple of things that I wish were different. I wish the kids would listen to me when I told them not to do stuff. That seems to be the hardest part of things right now. And I wish that they would all sleep past 5 or 530 in the morning. I think that they are way to old to be doing that but I'm not sure what to do about it. I put Liam downstairs this morning at 5:15 so that his crying didn't wake up Dylan as well. He cried for about 15 minutes and then I didn't hear from him again until 630 so maybe it'll get better. I'm really tired this week though. I keep staying up too late and then getting up so early. Not too smart!
On the up side though, we are getting out tonnes, either for walks or just in the backyard. The kids just love being outside and that keeps them from fighting as much or getting into too much that they shouldn't be. They are really great and the best times are when I can just sit and play with them or read them stories. It doesn't happen often enough but I do my best. Caden loves playing with his brothers and his friends. Such a social little guy. He has soccer and swimming lessons in May and June and is really looking forward to that. His birthday is in 2 weeks and he'll be 4. We'll have a little birthday party here with a few of his friends - nothing major. Just what he loves, hanging with his peeps!
Hopefully, it won't be so long before I can blog again and with some better pictures!!

I hear you on the obeying you immediately thing. We're really working on that with Hunter, but he's 7 - so it's about time. Anyway, if he obeys immediately (without arguing, debating or ignoring) 6 times throughout the day then he gets to play Wii, otherwise he doesn't. Maybe it would help if you overreacted (in a good way) when they did obey immediately. They are pretty young but I am sure that they would pick up on the message that you're happy when they listen. That's just a thought and something I wish I had worked on when my kids were a bit younger.
I love your updates - you've got your hands full, but they are so cute!
Hope
Thanks for the pics, I can't believe how big they are getting, and Katie and Megan, wow!
