It was a fun/busy morning. We had VBS! Bryce went off to his group and had so much fun! The little ones learned again about Joseph and how he had special talents. The kids colored a picture and glued (Hayden practiced cutting) we played the parachute game outside and sang lots of songs. We pretended to hunt animals and go fishing. We made Egyptian necklaces, and got tatoos on our hands.

Landon had speech today too! He did great and guess what! ? He tested out of speech! He has one last session and then he's on his way! I can't believe my boys both are done with speech!

Monday

Breakfast: poptarts with peaches and milk (all ate great!)

Lunch: mac n cheese with grapes and milk (they just nibbled, too many snacks at bible school!)

Bible school today! It was a little chaotic with registration but after that things seemed good. Landon was a bit of a grump but the other kiddos loved it! I stayed with Hayden, Paige, and Landon and Bryce went with the 4 and 5's group.

We learned about joseph and his colorful coat and how God gives us hope. the little ones made a colorful coat (will get at the end of the week), the colored tons of pics, sang songs, and played games outside. Of course also had a snack and drink(s) Hayden took well to a pre-teen (teen) boy and kept asking about his cast on his arm. Landon had his cars the entire time and was a handful (he was super ready for bed today and had a melt down, I had to yell at him to get his diaper changed he all of a sudden got quiet and said "I sorry mommy!" haha

Bryce seemed to have fun today too! Anytime I peeked in he was following directions and playing well (he was the littlest in his group :-) He said he ate an egg for snack today but the yellow fell out (they had hard boiled eggs?)

Off to nap (for me too ) I'm pooped!

Wed

It was a fun morning!

Breakfast: waffles, milk

Lunch: pb and marsh, cheese slices, grapes, milk

Everyone ate well, Jocelyn drank a good bit today but just nibbled her food (I made the mistake of putting butter on her waffle!)

So the kids played great this morning, Hayden and Paige (and of course Bryce) were pumped to see Jocelyn! I could tell Bryce and Jocelyn were sleepy because about an hour before preschool they just wanted to lounge and watch a movie. (Wallie ???sp it was) We then took them to preschool and me and the other kiddos ventured to the mall.

Well it was suppose to be the bank but then crazo preggo lady had to eat right then and there so we went to the mall to get a bite to eat. I got the kids a sugar/cinnamon pretzel and drink from auntie annes (they loved it!) then we walked around a bit (oh FYI Bonton is having huge yellow dot clearance 70% off!!!)

We came back home and started making lunch then went and picked up the big kiddos from preschool, back home and then lunch then all were soooooooooo ready for naps!!! It was so cute because Jocelyn started by making a bed on the living room floor then Bryce followed then little Landon got both his pillows and blankies from his bed and drug them down (they were ready!)

Hayden and Bryce played for a little while I put Paige and Landon to bed. Bryce wanted to sleep on the floor haha?!

Bible school next week! 9:30-11:30 Mon, Tues, Friday! I'll be helping the class with Paige and Landon in it! Should be fun!

Tuesday

Breakfast: poptarts and milk

Lunch: pb and marsh on wheat, grapes, cheese slices, milk

All ate well.

Sorry no pics! I wasn't feeling well today so we stayed inside. The kids did great playing. We went upstairs a good bit of the morning and the kids played choo choo's I read books to Sissy and Landon. Then we went to the basement and watched sesame street. We then came up and did some play dough fun!

Kyle had the kiddos from 10:30-12:30 while I was at the docs. All are in bed now!

Monday

Breakfast: pancakes, milk
Lunch: grapes, mac n cheese, pb crackers, milk

Everyone ate well except Hayden, he didn't eat much at all for either meal??

We had a lot of fun today as you can see. Not only did the kiddos play great this morning but I decided to get out a can of shaving cream and let the kids go to town! They had a blast! We practiced writing our letters and numbers with it and wrote each of their names. They seriously played in the stuff for over an hour! They then played in the pool to wash off and also played in with the sprinkler. All are napping in their diapers and undies! I guess you can say they smell like old men now Haha! but they shouldn't need a bath today :-)

Thursday

So this morning consisted of me laying on the ground while the kids jumped on me :-( haha Luckily around 10 the sickness began to subside and I could function and get lunch for them. So far so good still (Oh I hope it's gone for the day, I was so so so close to tossing my cookies) and of course they were all pooping up a storm today!). They were good with entertaining themselves. We did try to go out at 8:00 (the fresh air did wonders for me) but they were begging me to chase them and throw balls and toss frisbies I only lasted until 8:30 (pathetic!)

Bryce and Tristan played "go diego" on the wii
They did puzzles, and we read a ton of books (something I can do laying down) and colored and did stickers. Sorry no Daddy's day craft! :-( I promise I'll do something in 6 weeks (hopefully sooner when I'm feeling better)

Breakfast: waffles, banana, milk (they all ate super and Lilly ate great and drank an entire milk!!!)

Lunch: since I made myself eat every hour so did the boys :-) They had a little of everything. Egg sandwhiches were a big hit!! Pb and marsh sandwiches, and grapes and milk

Lilly ate lunch great too and drank another entire milk! I cut up grapes and she woofed them and fed herself!

All in bed, and I hope it's a good nap! Landon kept going upstairs and getting in Bryce's bed all morning like he was ready for a nap early! Must have been because Bryce woke him up so early.

Wed

Breakfast: pancakes with milk

Lunch: mac n cheese, yogurt, apples, milk

All ate well for both meals.

It's been a rough day for me. Luckily the kids have been very good. WE basically took bryce to school then did the grocery store then back to pick up Bryce. When we got home we did lunch and played upstairs with choo choos until nap.

Hayden is very excited about his trip!

I read in my pregnancy journal from Landon that I felt horrible until 8 weeks (so hopefully only another week and a half!) The kids have been great though, When I lay down then just play around me :-) or lay on me :-)

Tuesday

Breakfast: eggs with cheese, banana, milk (then some cereal too) everyone ate really well except Paige (it was so funny she kept one bite of egg in her mouth for like a half hour and couldn't move! I had to pry open her mouth to get it out then she ate some cereal well)

Lunch: pb and marsh sandwich, watermelon, cheese slices, milk, and nilla waffers

Everyone ate lunch well, Lilly ate and drank great today! Those raspberries make a mess though! She looked like a purple people eater!

We spent the early morning outside! We ran around, swang, played in the pool, played in the bounce house. It was a fun day and the weather (although cloudy) was nice and it wasn't too hot out. Paige spent nearly 2 hours in that bounce house (I kid not!)

Lilly keeps asking what? So funny, and she's all over the place, I even caught her trying to scoot off the blanket outside!

Lots of poopies today all around! I think its a little mini virus thing (Landon had is all last week) He pooped like e4-5 times a day and it's mushy but not runny. Paige def has it and Tristan and Lilly have been pooping a lot too! Ughhhhhhhhhh just what I love to smell with how I'm feeling :-)

The big boys played choo choos upstairs while Landon got speech and I played with the girls in the playroom. Tristan and Bryce had a blast with his new nerf basketball hoop in his bedroom (guess what I'm getting him for christmas!)

Monday

So it's been a bad day of terrible two's here at the Rankin house! My camera was snatched by a crazo 2 year old named Landon who enjoyed throwing it into his baby pool! Hence there will be no pics this week :-(

However, by some miracle, my photocard still works and I was able to salvage the birthday pics (yeah!) so for your pleasure I'll post some party pics every day!

Breakfast: pancakes, milk

Lunch: Carvers had spaghetti and the Rankins refused to eat the spaghetti and had pb and marsh, yogurt, watermelon. Hayden and sissy ate like champs today!!!

It was a good morning because we were busy and had fun, bad in that I lost my camera. We played with all of Bryce's new goodies! Playdough was a fun time! Then outside the rest of the morning (it's finally not so humid!) We played with the new huge ball sprinkler and it was a blast!

We sang happy birthday a few times to Bryce and then after lunch Bryce and Hayden played with all the new thomas trains upstairs!

All are asleep and let's hope it's long enough!

Thursday

Breakfast: pancakes, banana, milk
Lunch: spagettios, cheese slices, cantelope, milk, cookie

Everyone ate great! Lilly at her breakfast well but wouldn't drink her milk

The OT came a half hour late today so I started feeding her before she came. She woofed her mac n cheese for me but wouldn't drink or eat her fruit. When Nicci got here she did wonderful and finished her fruit and drank her milk and was self feeding with cheerios. She was being her usual flirty/turkey self.

The kids were wonderful today (I think the key is no t/v!) We played downstairs then went outside for a while (it was hot out) we played ball, and painted with water, and swang. The boys played cars outside too.

We had lunch and then the big kids played upstairs until nap time. Everyone went down for naps (I just realized I heard someone crying, went upstairs and it was Hayden in the fetal position under the blankets, when I pulled the cover off he was dripping with sweat) He told me he didn't want the window open. I calmed him down, gave him a drink and shut the window. He seems better no (poor kid) I told him next time he can just come down and get me instead of hiding under the blankets.

All is quiet now!

Oh and Bryce and Tristan put like 300 books in Bryces bed. I went up and said, you boys made a mess, Tristan said, but we need to read! haha

Wed

We had a great time at the ultimate playzone today!!! We left here around 9:00 and got their at 9:45. The kids did well watching movies in the car (cars to the zone and dora on the way home)

The kids had a blast! WE played hard core for an hour, the were jumping, sliding, bouncing, running, throwing! Then we had a break and ate some lunch in the party room and had some drinks. Then back out we went (around 11:40 I noticed the kiddos looked pooped) I was shocked when I asked Bryce if he was ready to leave and he said "yes I'm sleepy" They were so good and stayed all together (I got a work out today too :-)

We will def. do this again sometime!

All are passed out! Paige even fell asleep on the way home!
