Catching some ZZZzzzz

I heard a little voice last night meekly saying, "Mommy, Mommy." I went in to check on Ben and found him stuck in his bunk bed upside down. I think he was afraid of getting into trouble because he was getting out of bed. Silly kid!

Benjamin still takes naps (thankfully) but sometimes it takes some convincing. He does have a special blanket he likes to snuggle with, but sometimes I find this kid cuddling with the strangest things. The other day it was his tonka truck (not the most comfy). Then it was his herd of hard plastic dinosaurs. (I have found a few in my bed and know from personal experience that they are not bedtime friendly!) But this was a classic... if you can't tell, these are Ben's snow boots that I found him snoozing with. Hey, whatever it takes to bring the sandman!

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!

Brett and EVERYONE else who peeks at my blog always teases me that I never update it... so here, I am a week ahead now. Here is our valentines greeting.

Shhhh... be very quiet!

We are having so much fun with another new baby!

Guess what? We had a baby!

The newest Bingham eddition has just arrived! Connor William was born Jan 16th at 10:49. He was 8lbs 3ozs and 21inchs of pure cuteness.

The Joy of Falling

We really don't have any trees in our yard, but our neighbor's tree has enough leaves to share. The kids were eyeing his yard the other day and they invited us over to play. Madi, Brooke and Ben had a BLAST jumping in the HUGE heaps and tossing leaves at each other. After playing we helped them fill nine bags and by the next day, the yard was ready for another round.

Aaargh Matey!!

Yes, I did wear this to work, the store and Trick or Treating with the kids!












I have to jump in here and say that Brett was the sexiest pirate I've ever seen... and there were enough to have a whole ships crew tonight! Granted, most of them were under the age of ten... but still.

Careful kids, this is what happens if you don't brush you teeth!! Aaargh!

Happy Halloween!!!

Madi the CowGirl / Rodeo Queen, Brooke the Princess, and Ben the CowBoy. Annie had a blast making their costumes at the last minute! No kidding, the dress was completed only minutes before show time. Trick or Treating was fun, but the kids had the best time handing out the candy. When the bowl was empty they filled it up again with their own stash.

This Halloween has been interesting... with Ben being allergic to peanuts... we've had to be really careful about what candy he gets. (Even the girls had to go without a lot of the goodies because if they touch or kiss him, he will break out in hives). Brooke and Madi are such good sports about this because they know what happens and they LOVE thier little brother. Pretty impressive for a three year old to say no to a piece of candy just because her brother can't eat it.
