The Harms Family

Saturday, February 28, 2009

We got to spend a few days with my parents and Andy & Mary and their boys at Causeway on Gull in Nisswa last weekend. Our condo was very nice and the boys enjoyed using the hot tub as their mini swimming pool. My dad just kept adding ice making it feel like a bath tub. We played lots of Canasta, watched the Oscar's, ate some really good cooking from my mom, ice fished and took my brother's 4-wheeler for a spin. Ethan came down with Croup so had to make a pit stop to Urgent Care. (you know we can't go on a vacation without someone getting sick) My mom and I also ventured out for a "ladies night" only to leave the BINGO from hell early as they screwed us over. We ended up seeing Slumdog Millionaire. (ps, not a light, fun movie at all) We had a fun weekend and a huge thanks to Andy and Mary for watching Izzy for us and to my parents for the invite! (I hope they invite us back next time, we did pass a lot of germs)

Rocking it!

The battle with toybox

In an attempt to keep Ethan entertained, we took the cover off the toybox and watched as he proceeded to remove every toy from the box and throw it on the floor. However, I think the toy box won in the end as Ethan went for nose dive to get the last set of rings out and got stuck. Scott and I couldn't help but laugh and take a picture of course!

Toy Store

Dad and Ethan, Matt and Genevieve

Kyle and Miles

"Dad, I take this and that and don't forget the train set."

"This toy store is huge!"

Superbowl Bash

"I like my new pj's from the Kroenings, but I'm afraid I may have a diaper wedgie"

This is what 3 babies look like when their parents are acting like fools trying to get their attention.

Ethan: "Hey Miles! I think I have one of these eye things too!"

Miles: "Yeah, then touch your own eye"

Genevieve: "Hey guys, get with program. I got my killer smile on!"

The Ladies

(...oh wait, I guess that is Kyle in the comfortable legs crossed position.)

We went down to our good friends Robin and Kyle's for the annual Superbowl get-together. We went to Lark Toy Store in Kellogg where the kiddos all had there very first carousel ride. We then ventured to Nelson Cheese factory across the border for lunch. We had lots of yummy snacks, chili and beverages courtesy of the Kroenings and the Bansemar's with her fancy caramel french toast bake. Miles (8 months) and Ethan (13 months) enjoyed tackling each other for toys as Baby Genevieve (4 months) was the referree.

Book worm

Ethan loves to go into his room and pull out all of his books from his basket and page through each one. Either we have a super book worm on our hands or the beginning stages of a mini nerd.

It's a heat wave!

Well, it finally managed to get above 20 degrees today so we headed over to Amnicon State Park for a hike. It was so nice to get out of the house for a little fresh air!

Learning to use a fork

Yeah, I think it will be a while before he masters this.

Thank goodness for electrical safety plugs

All worn out

You can't catch me...

Look at me go!

Ethan loves his new found skill of walking. Scott and I are really amused watching Ethan realize he has freedom to roam and Ethan just laughs and screams in excitement as he hustles his way into the kitchen to help make dinner.

WARNING, NOT FOR QUEASY STOMACHS

Yes, Scott and I got to experience our first "floater in the tub". Needless to say, I was thoroughly grossed out and Scott had to immediate photograph the experience. And to top it off, when I pulled Ethan out of the tub he immediately whizzed all over the bathroom floor. Gotta love little boys!
