I kept everyone busy and happy today! We played and got dirty! We played after school drop off then took off our shirts and painted some flower pots. Had a snack and then we went outside for an hour and half (it was so nice to get outside and run around) The sun was a surprise and it was actually pretty warm. We swang, ran, played in the sand. Now that the kiddos are inside eating lunch I see it's starting to cloud up and getting ready to rain.... so glad it waited until we were done being outside.
The kids are all eating well. Alexa is having pb j and grapes, prune and yogurt. I am making mac n cheese, broccoli, and ham loaf for dinner tonight.
Oliver had a messy diaper, none from Alexa so far. Everyone is in good moods and getting along nicely!

Very fun morning! Did school drop offs and then went to church for play group! Lots of kiddos and mommas today. They opened up 2 rooms and Elliott and Oliver knew a lot of the kids who were there. The boys played so well! WE did puzzles, balls, trains, they loved the riding toys, did a craft, had snack (Elliott was so excited to get donut holes!
We came home then (I was exhausted!) and the boys played outside for a half hour and ran around. Came in and had lunch and now the big boys are playing upstairs while the little boys watch some sprout with me.
Loved play group and am planning to go back in 2 weeks!

I kept the wee ones busy today! We painted, did playdough, played with Mr. Potato head, did lots and lots of puzzles, played the elephant game, sang songs, etc.!
Mr. Potato was the hit of the day. The kids loved making different creatures (and wow were they interesting looking!) I think Alexa's had a trunk for an ear. Then they actually ran around and played with them with each other.
The arts and crafts were very short lived. No one seemed to have much attention span today. Oh well!
For the most part everyone is getting along well. I think all of them are sleepy. Alexa asked to go to bed at 10, it's noon so I'll be putting everyone down very soon.
Oh Alexa said yellow today and pointed to the yellow paint (I was impressed!)
Kobe and Oliver are butting heads a bit (it's like watching an animal trying to gain the "master" status!)
Elliott and Landon are now upstairs playing nicely while the 2 year olds watch some Sprout before nap time.
Everyone ate well. Alexa refused her cereal at first this morning but after sitting for a little she ate it. She had mac n cheese, with banana, prune, yogurt and her milk for lunch. Elliott had a pbj, yogurt, orange for lunch. Landon learned to wipe his butt today and was so proud it rubbed off on Elliott and he did too (however I ended up with a clogged toilet) so they had a lesson on how much paper to use.

It was a good morning! We spent the morning talking about Valentine's day and the shape heart and colors red, pink, and purple. We made a Valentine puppy craft and colored, glued, and cut. Oliver insisted on trying to cut. We played and went on a toy search (searching for missing toys) and then went outside for almost an hour! It was so nice to play and run outside even if it was a bit chilly! The kids didn't seem to mind and had lots of fun swinging, running, and playing in the sand box.
When we came in Alexa seemed exhausted. She was fussy and kept yawning. Her eyes looked bloodshot too (like when your really tired. So I tried to feed her some lunch (chicken nuggets, oranges, prune, and yogurt) She ate a little and then off to bed she went at noon.
Oliver and Elliott also seem tired. Elliott said he didn't nap yesterday so that might be why. I'm going to try to put both them to bed by 1. Oliver had 2 #2's today and Elliott went #2 on the potty. Nothing from Alexa just a wet diaper.
Big boys are now up in Landon's room playing and little boys are watching Sprout in the play room.

Wow the boys were a bit crazy today! Even Elliott said he was having a bad day! I tried my hardest to keep the fighting at bay with activities but unfortunately we had our first biting incident! As I was cleaning up play dough I heard crying from Oliver and Kobe and Elliott reported that Oliver took Kobe's toy so Kobe bit him and then Oliver bit him back. Both boys got ice, boo boo cream and a band aid and I don't see any marks anymore.
We "tried" to do a car craft and learn about the letter V and how it starts the word Valentine. We did do play dough, elephant game and a farm game. Finally I just put some music on and we danced and did exercises which was successful and every enjoyed.
Alexa tried not to eat any oatmeal this morning, I did tough love and told her that was her breakfast and sat it in front of her and walked away.... She ate every bite! I wish that would work for Kobe! She had chicken nuggets, fried, yogurt and oranges (didn't eat any oranges) at lunch today. Elliott had pizza, yogurt, and oranges. Baldwin boys ate well today.

Monday
It was a bit of a rough morning for me because my 3 boys are all fighting colds and have been extra needy/fussy. But luckily by late morning Kobe finally snapped out of it and would let me have my hands free. The other kiddos played well. We spent the morning learning about the letter C and how car starts with C. We did a worksheet and a car sticker craft. We sang the wheels on the car song (which Alexa was a pro at) We played the elefun and duckie game and talked about our colors and counted the butterflies and ducks. We also did lots of puzzles and read some books too. The morning went by fast.
Everyone ate well for both meals. Alexa had pizza, yogurt, grapes, prune and milk for lunch. Elliott had pizza, yogurt drink, grapes. Oliver had his food with some yogurt and grapes too. Oliver had a #2 diaper but just wet ones from Alexa.
Everyone seemed extra sleepy today. However it's an hour into nap and Alexa still isn't alseep and I had to just got up to make sure her diaper wasn't dirty (it wasn't) so not sure if she's going to nap today. Everyone else passed out as soon as their heads hit the pillow.
Reminder: Alexa is coming Mon, Tues, and Wed next week due to conferences and Bryce valentines party next week. I have the Baldwin boys just Wed.
I might take Kobe to the Dover library tomorrow and next Tues I'm going to take him and Alexa to that one. We couldn't go today and next Monday I can't either because I have a conference with Landon's teachers that morning (Kyle will be here with Kobe and Alexa for a half hour)
