New form of push ups

So I have decided to do a few things to make my arms look better for Alison's wedding if nothing else is going to look better LOL. So among the few exercises I decided to do some push ups. (Do not get impressed all that much b/c they are the push ups where you are on your knees). So there I am doing my first set and Christian climbs on my back and sits there while I complete them. Nothing like having an extra 25 lbs on my back.

So Catherine and I made our way to the Canton Nature Center for a field trip with her class. We were all sitting in a circle when the woman presented us with what I thought was a frog and asked the class if this was a frog or a toad. They answered toad and she proceeded to ask how to tell the difference. So Catherine informed the woman and class that toads have small bumps on their back and they jump small and frogs are smooth and jump big. I was impressed and kinda even gloated for a minute until the woman told Catherine very good and asked who taught her that and Catherine's response was Go Diego Go on Nickelodeon.

Some of my kids best friends! (pictures taken January 09)

These are my friend Alison's kids.
Gracie is pictured with Christian. They are exactly 2 weeks apart! Funny story. We were due exactly 2 weeks apart from each other. Well then they decided to induce Alison 10 days early. I was happy for her but sad in the sense that our kids would be farther apart than they were planned to be. Then 10 days before I was due Christian came!

Here is Olivia with Catherine. Not sure why my child cannot smile normal when I am taking her picture but oh well. Catherine and Olivia did not meet as immediately as Christian and Gracie but they met when Catherine was just a few weeks old and Olivia was almost 5 months. So they are not as close in age...but they still get along great!

Fishing

Today the kids went to a fishing derby. Christian got the first fish...Catherine name her 2 fish Lunch and Dinner. Pictures to follow shortly.
