wed

Breakfast: fiber 1 pancakes, banana, milk

Lunch: pb and marsh sandwiches, cheese slices, apples, milk

All ate well for both meals. Lilly was cranky (well for Lilly) and didn't want to finish her fruit and only took a few sips of her milk) She looked totally exhausted at lunch so I'm thinking that's why. She passed out instantly when I put her down at noon. She was easy peasy today (she reminds me of how Landon used to be) She just had a blast playing and watching the kiddos. There for a while she actually looked to be trying to crawl to get toys!!!

As for the other kiddos (can you say high maintenance Wednesday!) Man oh day I worked hard today! They just weren't in a great play together mood (it was more like pick on each other and steal and hord toys!) Tristan actually wasn't bad (he played pretty well, just had issues at clean up time, but a quick time out got him moving :-)

Bryce had a few time outs today, Landon was tantrum city. Hayden did pretty well but seemed more sensitive than usual. Paige was fussy (I thought she would fall right to sleep but I've been hearing her talk since 12 and now I hear her crying, so I might go up and check on her)

Other than the craziness, we had some fun activities planned. We talked about Easter today and what we see and do at Easter. The kids made cute chicks with their hand prints as wings (Lilly and Landon's chicks are wing-less they weren't very happy about me tracing their hands.)

We read an easter book (just a fun mickey one) we will start learning about Jesus next week (I have some of those books) Then the kids did well with coloring an easter picture.

We had lunch then went outside (which was a good time) for a half hour until nap time. All are in bed but all but Lilly are still awake!!! :-(

tuesday

Breakfast: fiber 1 poptarts, milk

Lunch: mac n cheese, gram crackers with nutella, pineapple, milk

All ate well (Paige didn't eat too much for lunch though)

It's been a good day. Took Bryce to and from school. I had some cleaning to do so the other 3 played well together and followed me around pretending to vaccuum and such.

We went outside for a good hour and Paige and Landon swang a lot. Hayden of course was in the sand (he just loves to play in that stuff) We ate some lunch and played upstairs until nap time.

Monday

Breakfast: fiber 1 pancakes, banana, milk
Lunch: grilled cheese, nutella crackers, pineapple, milk

All ate well and wowza do they love nutella spread!

Well it's a Monday what do we expect??? My 2 are both getting over a virus from the weekend and were grumpy/fussy/sleepy studs. I could tell Paige wasn't feeling like herself (cried over little things) The Vogt kiddos and Hayden were pretty easy going this morning (so 3 for 3 haha)

We played a lot today (I had to readjust to having 6 kiddos at once again) WE did school time. We sang and danced to our songs (Lilly loves music she was cracking up laughing and swayed and clapped along)

WE did the day of month/week and weather. Then we talked about the color orange and the kids colored orange crayons in their journals. Then we talked about dinosaurs and their feet. The kids each made a pair of dinosaur feet.

I was going to do a pattern game with them (will do some other time this week) but they wanted to go outside. We played outside the rest of the morning (good thing because it started raining when they got inside.

After lunch all the boys played up in Bryces room (they did great, just made a big mess) and the ladies played downstairs.

All in bed by 12:15. I hope they sleep good, I need a nap :-)

Oh and Lilly must have been so tired from this mornings activities (she actually fell asleep in the exersaucer before lunch time!!) she wasn't happy when I woke her up! She ate all her food well but didn't want much milk at lunch time!! I tried and tried and tried (even after she ate) she just swatted it. Drank about 2 oz

thursday

Breakfast: fiber 1 poptarts, milk, banana
Lunch: pb and marsh sandwhich, apples, cheese slices, milk

All ate very well for both meals!

Well Bryce was sick today (woke with a fever and just wanted me to hold him all day so sorry for the lack of pictures) The other kiddos were great today and did well playing together while I snuggled with Bryce.

Hayden did help me with the calendar, and we were outside most of the morning.

Oh and everyone is in need of diapers (Hayden pull-ups)

thanks, and have a super duper weekend!

Happy St. Patty's Day!

Breakfast: fiber 1 pancakes, milk

Lunch: pasta, yogurt, grapes, milk

all ate well

Great day! The kids are behaving well and playing great together (good so I have been able to get ready for the party!) We played inside first thing in the morning and did play dough and then painted shamrocks (had a blast and were really content with these activities)

We then went outside the rest of the morning and had lots of fun in the sunshine!

See you all this evening!

tuesday

sorry no pics today (my camera was charging)

Breakfast: fiber 1 poptarts, milk

Lunch: mac n cheese, yogurt, bananas, cookie

All ate well for both meals

We took Bryce to school then made a quick trip to Target. The kids were good. When we came home we played outside (of course) it was still a bit chilly but it's warming up nicely now. We will be outside when the kiddos wake up from naps today.

Paige is still calling me Honey :-) Hayden was a little tearful at naptime.

Hayden needs clothes for changing, he has on short because he peed all over his pants when he went to the bathroom (obviously i'll give him a pair of Bryce's pants if he needs them when he wakes up :-)

monday

Breakfast: fiber 1 pancakes, milk, banana

Lunch: pasta with red sauce (messy), canteloup, cheese slices, milk, and cookie

All ate very well for both meals

Good day, the kiddos are little grumpy due to Day Light Savings (all were very ready for naps today) hopefully they will catch up on their ZZZ's then.

We played today and then had school time where we did the calendar, weather, sang a ton of songs (they are so good at them!) We learned about mussasaurus's (smallest dinosaur) Each child made a mussasaurus from their footprint. We played with a cube with different pics, letters, we rolled them and then they would yell out the pic/letter. We also leaned about the letter E and that egg and elephant start with E. We did a treasure hunt guessing game with clues (facts about mussasaurus and volcanoes) The older boys did well with the guessing game.

I'm thinking this will be the only day of school this week. Have you seen the weather!!! After today, sun sun sun sun and high of 60-65 for the rest of the week. We will be OUTSIDE!!! and I'm going to find some St. Patty's day activities and crafts to do. wooooooooooohooooooooo!!

Oh Shana, Kyle isn't working late so, we are going to head to the gym as soon as you guys get here for the kiddos and do hopefully at least 30 min. of body pump then I'm going to do at least 30 more minutes of zumba (I gotta get my body pump in since we are missing wed)

We will probably go for a walk tomorrow (you want to go?)

Then Thursday maybe do Belinda's class or go for a walk again????
