Tuesday

 Well the Rankin boys (Bryce especially) were totally crazy today.  I kept asking Trent what he did with my kids?! haha  Bryce was so excited for Trent to play today that he's been up since 6am going nonstop!  Trent did fine today.  A little shy at first so he played alone for a few minutes down stairs but warmed up super quick.

The big boys played dress up this morning for a long time.  Then we went out and road some bikes/scooters.  Trent and Bryce were begging to play the wii and I told them the only way it would happen is if they give me a good hour of running around outside.  Don't worry Alicia they are playing during "quiet" time and Tristan is up in Landon's room for that.  So the bribe worked and the boys swang, played fort, hide n seek, and tag outside.

We then came in and had "learning time"  We talked about iquana's today and I shared with them 3 facts about iquana's, although I'm sure they forget because they were wound up today.  The got to practice their cutting and gluing skills and made some iguana head bands.

Then we played rainforest animal bingo using fruit loops.  They loved this game and Tristan was pumped because he kept winning.  They had a yummy snack of fruit loops after.  WE played like 20 times they were having such fun!

Kids all went down in the basement after this so I could clean up and this is when Bryce just went totally crazy so he had some alone time in a separate room and colored quietly.  The kids all played nicely until I had lunch ready.

Everyone ate well today.  Trent corrected everyone that pb and white stuff or marshmallow is called a fluffernutter sandwich.  They had fluffernutters, grapes, gogurts, juice.  Lilly had mac n cheese and applesauce.  

Bryce and Trent played legos after lunch upstairs while Landon and Tristan watched CARS 2 downstairs and Lilly and Kobe watched an episode of kidsongs in the play room.

Syd at her breakfast well and looked exhausted already by 8.  She napped from 8:30-10:15.  Was happy until about 11 so I tried a bottle (which she refused again) tried it in a sippy and refused, even got out the straw cup and she did take a few sips but then no more.  So I fed her lunch and she was happy for another half hour then had a breakdown at 11:30 and was a grump a lump.  So back down for a nap at noon.    She's had 1 poop today so far.

Everyone is down for a nap now except Bryce and Trent.  I'm letting them play a little wii and then I'll put on a movie.  Bryce also wants to do another craft with him this afternoon.
