Toys from Grandpa!

Grandpa has been showering the boys with really cool wooden block maze toys!  And the boys LOVE them!!  He brought the first one last week, and they seriously sat and played with it for 45 minutes straight before bedtime!  (That is an unheard of amount of time for them on one toy!)
Then, first thing the next morning, they played with it again...for another 30 minutes!  I would say this is a perfect present!
Will says, "Thanks Grandpa!"
Then Mommy ghetto-rigged it to a table with belts so they would stop trying to carry it away from their brother.  This worked well, and the boys seem to like standing and playing.

Then Grandpa came this week with SUPER wooden block maze!!!  This one has a wooden base with activities on all four sides, with a bead maze with animals on top!
They were mesmerized and slightly overwhelmed with all that it had on it!  But they LOVE it!


Will, so intently playing...

Jack, loving the 'quack-quack' on top!

Playing with Grandpa
Grandpa love!  



Thank you, Grandpa, for finding these awesome presents!!!  We love them!!! And we love you!!

Steiner March Madness

Here's a picture post with a mish-mash of the "madness' happening in the Steiner household these days.  Just kidding--it isn't madness, but a WHOLE lot of fun!!

Enjoy!
First suckers... after 18 month check-up and last shots until they are 4!

Grandpa was there for an extra set of loving arms!

Beautiful Redbud trees blooming in Texas... the boys
aren't as excited about spring flowers as Mommy is!

Daddy brought the boys home Superman cars and taught them how to
make them go down the racetrack... I had 3 very happy Steiner boys!

Cuddles with Gigi before she left for CA

Jack loves to put the hard hats on!

First ride in the car shopping cart! LOVED it for about 10 minutes...
then the screaming and fighting over the steering wheels began.
=(


While stopping for a quick lunch in the stroller, they realized there was
a hole they could peek at each other through!

Big boy shorts...

Toy box found with all sorts of new toys!  This pretty much gets
emptied out daily now!

And my laundry assistants... oh so helpful!
Never a dull moment! =)

Dress Up & Balloons!

My mom and I were out a few days ago with the boys, and Gigi had such fun trying the hats on the boys!  It kept them happy while I was trying on jeans, and we were just tickled watching them look at themselves in the mirror! (Will on left side of stroller)



Their heads were almost too big for these!

We were surprised that they even kept them on their heads!  For quite awhile, they haven't wanted anything on their heads: hoods, hats, sunglasses, etc, but maybe we've finally made it past that stage! We also got the boys new Superman shirts from Old Navy... ones that match their Daddy's shirt!  They wore them to a birthday party this weekend, but this was the best we could do for a picture before we left!

I just have to add a couple pics of the boys in their new favorite place.  They get so darn proud of themselves for being able to climb up on their own!

And last but not least... Balloons!  Our friend Michelle and her girls brought these for the boys last week, and I had them sitting up on the counter.  Today, they fell off, and the boys went.to.town!!!  They LOVE balloons!  I separated them after there were some tug-of-war moments, and gave each boy their own, and they seriously entertained them for at least an hour today!

Watch the excitement!

Okay... so I know I've posted this final pic before and I have it on my header right now, but it finally hit me who they remind me of in it...


Can you see it? =)  I cracked up when I finally figured it out!  I guess it's because we've been watching The Voice this season.  Ah, my little Cee Lo's... at least they're not holding that creepy white cat!
