Trouble?

How could this cute face ever cause trouble?

I took this picture right after she laid the smack down on Lukas.  He was left bawling in the family room.  Sadie was trying to tell me "dammy (Sammy) do it"....

What the future holds...

Assuming that my girls are headed down the road of clothing alterations and clothes for cheap this is what my future looks like.  Please note I did not get Natalie's approval for these photos!  My only hope is that Barcley enjoys them and therefore, Natalie doesn't kill me!  :)

This shirt (several years ago) Natalie bought new it was XXL Men's Shirt- I think she paid all of $1 for it on clearance.  This is mid way through the alterations.  Do you like that she left the tag on the sleeve.  What did she think we were going to return it if it didn't work out?

HALF WAY THROUGH ALTERATIONS!

 AFTER ALTERATIONS AND HAIR & MAKE-UP!

Natalie's Nieces.....(need I say more?)

Gabrielle's Girl Scout troop is hosting a spring dance, the theme is "disco".  Costumes are highly encouraged and all the kids get to go.  Earlier this week the kids and I hit up Savers to find some clothes.  Needless to say the dresses we found will need a few alterations, which has me worried!  If I am altering dresses for first grade, what will I be doing in high school?  Natalie (my sister in CA) would always have me alter clothing for her.  And I don't mean take in a shirt or shorten a skirt- I mean DRASTIC alterations.  I am working to find a few pictures of things I did for her and will post them when I find them. Here are the girls in their "BEFORE" pictures!  "After" pictures will follow!  The boys also got clothes to wear..pics to follow soon! 

Lucia- Size 0, floor length Charlotte Rue dress- Glitter is still all over everything including Sam!

  

Gabrielle Size 7/8 floor length, Step(In) Out dress

 

 Sadie in a lovely green dress that is actually going to be worn by a friend of Gabs.  Sadie was just our model, had to be like the big girls!

Spring break is over!

Spring break is over and the fun is done...Now just back to the daily grind of these three hoodlums and Sam.

Today Lukas only had to put on a new shirt since he wore "wake-up" pants to bed!  It was a tough day.  :)

Improvements!

No- not house improvements (yet) but improvements that have been going on IN the Willaert house!  I couldn't get picture of ALL of the changes that have been going on - nor would you want to see it all BUT I do have an old picture of our house!  Here is a list of our advancements in....well, life I guess!

• Nate can now tie his own shoes laces! Won't his teacher be happy!
• Lukas can now pee standing up!  YAY for Luke...means more cleaning for me.
• Sam eats majority of baby food now and formula/bottles for a topper off.  And has slept through the night for over a 2weeks now!
• Sadie made it through mass tonight with only being taken out twice!  Small steps people!
• Gabrielle can read Buzz Boy and Fly Guy books!  Real page turners. 
• Lucia is a willing participant during gym time when they are supposed to "dance".  HA!
• Lukas can put on his own shoes and velcro them.  Watch out laces- here we come. and yes, we still have to buy him XXwide shoes.  It will be a life long battle for him.
• Brian is only 3 weeks away from being done with school for the year!  Then he will be at 19 out of 31 credits for his "masters in computer nerdism", as I call it.....over half done!!

lots to cover here-

So I have lots and LOTS to cover in this post so here we go-

This is Sam- This is Sam starving. This is Sam, he enjoys green eggs and ham and anything that comes near his mouth...if only he was so determine when it came to rolling over or at being and 8 month old! :)

Next we got some chicks!  Yup- chicks....no idea what I was thinking....we are in about $50 with this adventure and it might end in dinner!  :)  We got layers so we will for sure get breakfast out of them, eventually!  So far one of them have a name- peep.  The kids swear they know which "one" he is but I can't tell him from the others who's names very....Golden, Melissa, Avery and Squeak all swap names interchangeable at any notice!

Here is Lukas holding Peep.

Here is Lucia holding Peep or wait- is Lukas still holding Peep in the background?  Oh forget it- one is Peep and one is Peep's sister, eeerrr was it cousin?

Lukas- Mr. Happy....

Lukas went through about two months of having never ending list of "ailments" as we call them and has come out on the other side as the happiest kid around.

His NEW favorite thing is to wear "wake up clothes" to bed so when he wakes up in the morning he is dressed and ready to roll!  The shirt he has on above I think is worn every other day!  What else would you expect such a happy guy to wear other than tie dye?
