No, there not standing on anything

People keep asking me if in the Easter Picture below, Michael and Allie are standing on anything...the answer is, no. In fact the ground is pretty level there. I'll post a full length picture to prove it soon, but the sad fact is they have passed up their mama and at least one of them is on what seems to be a recent growth spurt that looks like it will end in passing up their dad soon. Michael's turn, which he is pretty excited about, has turned into a 4 inch growth spurt since this summer. Allie is still growing, but has slowed down in pace. Allie is right under 5 5' and Michael is about an 1/8 of an inch below her, if that. Now I get to be the "little Mama". oh, Alex wants me to add, he is 5 feet now too. Do you know how much milk/groceries we are going through??? Let's just say, next to the house payment, and Pete's student loans, it's the biggest expense we have, and I am thinking about getting a cow for milk, chickens for eggs and making them grow their own garden.
