Lucy Practicing for the Olympics

Hey no problem Lucy, throw all my socks out of my basket!

Boys in the Snow!

Got the boys out of school early! It would be cruel to leave them in, and I am not that mean!

IT'S SNOWING!!!

Yes!!! Gotta love Texas, 75 on Sunday and snow on Tuesday! Lucy & I headed out to check it out. In the beginning she thought it was fun, and then she quickly became unimpressed.

Who Wants to Party with Pokemon!!!

Ethan had his first real birthday party this year. Jake & I sucked it up and invited 14 boys (& 3 girlies) to come celebrate his big day. We played all the old school games, ate some cake, and then sent them all home. It was a fun filled 3 hours!!

Where has the time gone?

I have been soundly remiss in my blogging duties. Just think of it as me hibernating! So here are some random snapshots of life with the Forbes, and you can come back tomorrow for Pokemon party pictures!

The boys performed a funny skit with our O'Mara friends at the talent show!

Quotes

"Mom can we go back to our regular toilet paper, because this new stuff is unreliable." ~ Rhys

"But Mom Lucy does do some retarded stuff like ripping all the toilet paper off the roll, and so do me & Rhys." ~ Ethan
I tried to explain how the word retarded can be hurtful, and that we definitely never call someone a retard. I had to laugh because in this statement it is clear that he doesn't see any differences in Lucy, she is just like the rest of us. Of course we had to have further discourse on the word! :)

"Oh Lord!!" ~ Kelley upon walking into Lucy's room after naptime to discover that Lucy had a diaper blowout that covered her clothes, crib sheet & bumper, AND crib bars!!!

2 Years Ago Today.....

Ms. Lucy came home. Weird having a baby, and leaving that baby in the hospital. She never really felt like ours until she came through that door. And boy we thought that day would never come. It felt so good to have us all in the same space, and because of that I sometimes find myself hugging her just because she is here with us.
