April showers...

 As I type this, we're enduring the craziest of 2 day rainstorms we've seen.  Over 5 inches of rain in 24 hours, yowza.  Fortunately we're dry inside, our sump pump is working, and we have plenty of indoor activities to hopefully keep us all busy for today.  We've been having a lot of fun lately here with the 3 boy show.  Isaac's hair continues to impress and amaze...

 Noah's artwork is really getting impressive for a 5 year old.  He enjoys finding pictures on the iPad and then trying to copy them.  Not to shabby, eh?
 Not sure how this happened, but something about pop box hats makes them CRAZY!

Daddy continues to refine the face painting experience.  This time it was Batman!  Although we all agreed "devil child" might be more fitting for Sam.
 We baked and decorated a birthday cake for daddy.  It was no masterpiece, but it tasted good!
 Philie and I held our own Pinterest homemade coffee creamer taste test.  There was NO alcohol as we were responsible for 6 children under the age of 6.  The shot glasses held the coffee, the solo cups held the creamer.  We agreed the coconut/chocolate variety was the best.
 Isaac continues his quest to be the heftiest Rodriguez kid.  The boy knows how to eat, look at those cheeks!
 In mommy's quest to enjoy every last second of maternity leave, we had the nanny come stay with Ike and the big guys and I headed to the local indoor pool for some playtime.
 "About all this caffeine consumption mom...!"
 We celebrated crazy birthday week (Josh, my dad, Mike) at my parents place over the weekend.  
 Josh's girlfriend, Kjersten, was in town and they spent some time with the boys.  Uncle Josh was the proud recipient of a lego watch that Sam picked out for him.  It was a Star Wars watch that came with a storm trooper.  It barely fit and the face is the size of a nickel, which looks pretty hilarious on Josh's larger wrist, but when the boys were impressed.
 Unbelievably enough, Ike is now 1 month old!  He has chunked up a lot and has become slightly more wakeful and active.
 Look at those fat rolls on the legs!
 He still has some hair on his ears too, so cute!
Lastly, this week we braved the Shedd Aquarium.  Thankfully, my mom came with to help keep eyes on the two big guys.  It was a great trip!

Hope everyone survives the massive amounts of rain!  Next week we head to the doctor for Ike's 1 month check up.  Can't wait to see what he weighs!
