Spring Break Forever!

It was Spring Break around these parts, recently.  And we have been enjoying it.  The kids got sick for the first couple of days (and spent those watching shows and playing wii and such).  But, when they got a little better they set about making mischief outside.  Most of it hole related.  Like the following:

• Digging a hole in the middle of the yard.
• Covering the hole with sticks to make a trap.
• Filling previously mentioned hole with water.
• Running through the hole and covering themselves with mud
• Putting a bunch of sticks in the hole so they stuck straight out.  I guess it was another kind of trap.

It's been pretty hot around here the last week or so.  We even got out the sprinkler.  It mostly watered the lawn, but they ran around it a lot.  

It's been nice to sleep in a bit and not have a schedule for a little while.  It makes me excited for summer.  Though, not the heat.  Can it just be a warm spring forever?  Please?  

Max - One Month

• Max is already smiling!  It is so awesome.  Zach can even make him sorta laugh.  
• Max loves to eat.  Though, unlike his siblings, once he falls asleep he won't just keep eating forever and ever.  Which is nice.
• He does not like pacifiers.  They make him gag.  He'll only take one once in a while.
• He loves to be held over the shoulder so he can look around behind you.  
• He hiccups a lot.
• He is waking up about every two to three hours at night, which is acceptable.  
• He loves to sleep with his hands by his face.  He'll get at least one there no matter what. 
• Max is forever grunting and such.  He's very noisy in general, which cries, grunts, coos, and hiccuping.
• He often looks surprised.  Or concerned.  
• He loves his brothers and sister.  And they absolutely adore him!
