Snuggles and craziness

Life is passing by so quickly. The days go by so fast at times and at others the minutes drag on; like when the boys are arguing or someone has poop in their diaper and someone else needs help in the bathroom, and someone else is spilling something in the kitchen, all while the dogs are barking at squirrels in the backyard. Those are the moments I just want to scream or laugh or both. Sometimes I do.

Three kids. Agh. Can you hear me? Three. Three is not easy.

But isn’t this guy just so cute. Seriously. He won’t smile for the camera though. I’ve tried. He is starting to talk and talk and talk and his toothless grin is oh-so-wide it just lures you in. But he never shows it for the camera, not ever. {Yet.} 

And those dark chocolate eyes of his. Melt my heart. Every time.

I caught these two in brief moment of snuggling on the couch. Mostly I reserve the calm moments for myself and just hand the Popeye off when he is whaling. Mr. Dunbar lives for that. He loves whaling kids. But he also loves some baby snuggles, so I shared.  

And since the Mr. and I think three is hard we decided to throw two more into the mix last week. Hey when you’re already crazy adding more craziness doesn’t make a difference.

But one of them was a girl!  My sweet niece.

The boys tried handing her dishes, but she opted for the boy toys instead.   

And the G-Man. This kid is off the hook. He LOVES to play with his cousins.

And his lashes are to die for!    Of course the whole time I was snuggling with this little bum.

All while trying to corral a 5 year old, 3 year old, 2 year old and 1 year old.

Easy breezy!

i like feet

I have this accumulation of pictures of the baby’s feet. I don’t know why but I am constantly taking pictures of them.

Here are a few snippets.

     

He’s growing so fast.

I’ve never felt the need to capture every single baby memory like I do with this one.

I want to breathe him in every single moment. Capture every movement, smile, sigh, or sound.

Perhaps, the fact that this is the last little one is setting in.

I think that may be it.

Happy Friday To Ya

 

Hoping you’ll have a great day that will lead to a stupendous weekend.

We’ve got rain in the forecast. Bummer. I was actually hoping to try and get some pictures of the boys outside. It seems that all the pictures I’ve gotten of them have been on the couch recently. I am ready to move on to greener pastures. (no pun intended)

We were laughing last night, talking about communication and how couples communicate, especially us. When we first got married, he said I would walk around the house yelling at him and he would go to his office and lock the door and I would keep yelling on the other side of the door. I don’t really remember that happening all that often but he says it was  pretty frequent. I don’t do that at all anymore, think I’ve grown up a bit or just learned to SPEAK to my husband. Either way, him mimicking me was funny.

I’m planning on making the best of  the weekend because Mr. Dunbar will be home. Perhaps I can get in a small trip to the mall… by. myself. (A girl can dream, right?)

Do you have any big plans?

cheers.

PS If you have a second, can you say a prayer for my mom who is having an angiogram done today. Thanks so much!

  

A Sweet Visit

We had the pleasure of a visit from Cousin Jared and his girlfriend Bree this past weekend.  It’s always a treat for me when other people play with my kids. 

I especially knew something was up when these two were sitting in the hallway looking like this.

Coming out for the attack.

   

After battle of the Nerf Darts, the boys showed them their new game, Mario Kart.

(Monkey earned this by filling up his sticker chart. )

This guy of course, instantly wanted to “Battle.”

Boys, do they ever grow-up?

They got some snuggle time in with our little Popeye.  

And of course the marble obstacle course set came out.

And the 3 smaller Dunbar Men say, “Thanks for coming over guys!”
