    No Comments

    We get to have some of my family over on Sundays! We all look forward to it. My kids ask every weekend who is going to come this time 🙂

    This Sunday was another fun one. Joel, Megan, Gus, Sean, Jana, Kelsey. And Brady showed up at the end.

    Millie and Jana played hide and go Seek:

    The kids smothered their aunts and uncles. Gus entertained all of us with his walking and spasms and cuteness.

    We ate roast and played Fibbage and chatted a lot and had treats.

    Good Times.

    Packer and Cali are losing their teeth.

    Last Monday was Packer. It had been loose forever and then Benji knocked it out on accident.

    IMG_20160307_200311 IMG_20160314_210744

    Cali lost one Sunday night – she wiggled that thing until it came out.

    And then – The next night on Monday she lay in bed and wiggled out the other one!

    Kangaroo Zoo lived up to the hype! We had been planning to go with the Hancock’s for a month and we finally made it. The kids were in heaven and came home exhausted. I will complain that it cost about twice as much as it should have but… the place was packed so I guess they know what they are doing.  Thanks for a fun day Friends.

    Leap Day

    No Comments

    IMG_20160229_161727 

    How did we spend our Leap Day 2016?? We had a perfectly normal Monday. I cleaned a bit, organized a closet. And played with the kids a bit, hot wheels. I let the littles have a tea party lunch upstairs. Then the older kids got home and we did homework, piano, reading, and then played some more, hotwheels. We ate a normal wimpyish dinner and then did chores and FHE and exercised. That’s it.
