Mark said this picture made him look just like me. To which I replied "then how in the world did you find me attractive enough to ask out the first time?".

Lol
After Mark saw this upcoming pic he said "classic Sarah". Since I don't often have a mirror in front of me when I make faces, I'm going to need a little input on this one. Cuz' frankly this face is just a tad weird.

Brotherly Love
Did anyone else ever watch that show?
Aren't they adorable?
Anyway... Just a few pics of my boys. They are fast becoming friends - the one thing that mollified me when I found out Mark had shot out another Y chromosome. I figured two same sex kiddos, very close in age would be pretty good pals. (For the most part- I'm not completely delusional.)

Smushmellow Clown.
Thanks to Jon and Kate + 8, my boys eat peanut butter and smushmellow (marshmallow) sandwiches. Being the ages that they are, and me being not quite as anal/uptight as Kate, they tend to make a mess while doing it. 
Way cute right?
Way cute right?
She's gonna kill me...
As you have probably figured out by now, my best friend bob was here over the weekend. I thought I would blog one of my favorite moments of her with my kids. 
Kieran found a good spot to put his phone... I love the way he's all non-chalant (sp?) about it, too. Oi, just going in for the goods like that, I'm totally going to have to watch this kid in high school.

Miss you bob.

The Yeti...
Ok, this post has to be really, really short because I only have seven minutes in my computer allotment left for today. Silly housing contracts that need to be e-signed. Anyway, my bff Bob was here this past weekend - and lucky for me it snowed and she got stranded here for another day! This was a picture I took of her at the top of the sledding hill. (Bob, this is the pre-played around with image...) She looks like a Yeti rising out of the swirling snow. It's awesome!

Hello, God?
It's me Sarah. I want to ask where the heck the idea for snow in March came from - and thank you. I had just been complaining to my mom, that living over here, my boys would never know snow. Last night you dumped about nine inches! We had such a great day! Amen. 
Ok... maybe Kieran didn't like it as much as the rest of us...
Pushing them to the sledding hill...
All of us trekking up the hill.
Braxton and Aunt Bop. "The fun one." I love that my three year old can take digs at me...
Braxton and I at the top of the sledding hill. Those are my thighs. They're apparently still too big to keep out of the frame... 
Aunt Bop "wiped out"!!!!!!
Cold chin....

We went out a total of four times today. It was alot of fun, and each time us parents had to be the whistle blowers on the festivities. Even though Braxton's cheeks and fingers were freezing - he so did NOT want to go in. By the end of the day our sled trail was slick as the snot B-rox licks off of his upper lip. We could fly. Braxton said "oh, mom I loved going so fast down the hill!" Great day.
