Wed

Breakfast: fiber 1 poptarts, banana, milk
Lunch: mac n cheese, pb crackers, applesauce/watermelon, milk

All ate very well today.

We took Bryce to school today. Then came home and decided to go outside today (woohoo!!) Since we had to stay near the patio I filled up the pools and the kiddos went swimming. They seemed to have lots of fun (it's been a while since we went swimming) We played outside for about an hour. Then came inside and went downstairs. We danced and sang our songs and (Tristan had gone home by this time) The 3 kids played so well downstairs. They were pretending and just playing a ton. Then it was time for lunch and then time to pick up Bryce.

All were down for naps by 12:30 (including Bryce) he woke up way too early this morning and told me before school he needed to nap today (he was right he fell asleep in 5 minutes!!) Landon still isn't sleeping (that stinker better fall asleep!) I don't here any peeps from the carver kiddos!

Tuesday

Breakfast: whole grain blueberry muffins/cereal, banana, milk

Lunch: fluffernutter sandwiches, cheese slices, grapes/applesauce, milk

All ate super great!!!! Lilly drank well and went through an entire milk by lunch!

Well with the exception of Landon being super cranky today (he was up crying the entire night last night) It has been a great day! I'm hoping the bugger takes a long nap and wakes up a new 2 year old (geesh!!! It was touch and go there for a while this morning, but by 10:00 he seemed to have gotten better)

So we stayed inside today (too muggy for me and I'm scared about those hornets still) We kept very busy today! We read tons of books, Colored Bryce and Landon's new big sesame street coloring book, we made tree hats (so funny), we also made beaded bracelets (this was a huge hit!!! and the best part was everyone could do it themselves!) well except Lilly. I was shocked to see Paige, Landon and Tristan thread the beads but because it was with a pipe cleaner it made it easier for them. They loved it (beaded and beaded for like a half hour straight!) They are all wearing their bracelets with pride and Lilly keeps pointing to hers (so cute!)

The kids ran around downstairs and played in the ball pit and tent a lot too!!! The morning flew by (love days like that!) Now it's time for night night!

Thursday

Breakfast: high fiber poptarts, banana, milk

Lunch: spagetties, grilled turkey and cheese sandwhiches, grapes/applesauce, pb crackers, mini cupcake, milk

All ate great!!! Go Lilly great job at eating all by herself today and drank well (but I had to help push the fluids a bit. She loved her cupcake and that's where I got her to drink a ton!

Great morning even though we couldn't go outside (toooo hot and sticky!!) We played, played, played, no TV all morning until Lunch time! The kids were super pumped when I set up the tent and ball pit. Oh by the way, Miss Lilly told me she would like a ball pit for her b-day!! She was crazy lady loving it!!! I would get a clearanced blow up pool at the end of summer and use that and buy some balls!

They were entertained all morning long downstairs. WE did do a craft and made a circus (Bryce is obsessed this week) Then they decorated with animal stickers.

Had lunch, sang happy birthday to everyone and ate cupcakes. All down for naps at noon (I'm pooped!) Bryce is going to nap too he was in time out more times than I can count today!

Vogt's need diapers next week!!!

Lilly had no poops today (either did Paige for 2 days now) just an FYI!

Wednesday

Breakfast: pancakes/poptarts, milk
Lunch: mac n cheese, pb crackers, yogurt, cupcakes, milk

All ate great!

Lazy morning! Took Bryce to school, then we went to Browns (I needed some peaches) we played only about 20 minutes at their playground (too muggy) Then came home and listened to some music and played and colored.

We picked up Bryce and then had some lunch and then Best part of the day, sang to sissy and did cupcakes (will do again tomorrow for the Vogt's)

The boys played a little while before naps upstairs (I let them stay up later) I'm hoping all including Bryce nap today (they need it!)

Tuesday

Breakfast: waffles, banana, milk

Lunch: pb and marsh on fiber 1 bread, applesauce/grapes, cheese slices, home aid choc chip cookies and milk

All ate great today (Lilly too and she drank an entire milk) Lilly wanted her cookie whole so I sat with her (it took her forever but she nibbled and ate almost the whole thing!)

So we had a terrific morning (hurray!) We played outside early and ran around, the kiddos painted noodles. Then the kids were playing so well up in the playhouse (pretending they were at a restraunt) All of them except lilly. They seriously played for a half hour (until Bryce got stung by another wasp!!!) Poor guy, this time it got him twice. So Hayden is even more petrified! Tristan got bit by something too but I don't think it's a wasp (it looks different) we washed and put insect bite stuff on them then applied ice (all are well and they got over it in like 5 minutes) So no more play house until Mr. Kyle sprays up there!

We came inside and listened to music and made noodle necklaces (they loved this!) They all pranced around afterward with their jewelry on (see pic on couch) They were very proud. Then we made fuzzy caterpillars. Oh and we made home aid choc chip cookies for Miss Crystalann and baby (and of course that's the cookies they had at lunch)

So now, the Carvers and Lilly are in the playroom playing nicely, and the 3 other boys are upstairs (cracking me up I must add) They are lined up with cat feather sticks and jingle bell balls singing "Jingle Bells" haha!!!

Lilly pooped 2 times (once was huge!!) No complaints from Tristan about his mouth (just his butt because he didn't tell me had poop in it!)

Monday

Breakfast: poptarts and milk
Lunch: grilled cheese with turkey (big hit!) sandwiches, pb crackers, grapes/applesauce, milk

All ate great for both meals!!

I did take some pics today but they were boring so I thought I would share some pics from paige's party! We had a great morning today! The is my kind of weather! Nice breeze, cooler, cloudy, We spent all morning outside mostly at the school park (playing ball and on the equipment. We then came home and the kiddos ran around while I weeded a bit.

I showed the kiddos the pumpkins and tomatoes that are growing (and our unidentified guards??

Sissy is running low on diapers I think, I'll double check!

Thursday

Breakfast: waffles with cin and sugar, bananas, milk
Lunch: spaghetti, cheese slices, applesauce/grapes, milk

All ate super well again! They must all be growing! Lilly ate great and get this (drank both milks all gone!!!) woohoo. Hayden was extra thirsty today too!

Well it was a fun but a bit rough morning! Miss Lilly, Mr. Tristan, and Mr. Bryce were big time grumpa lumps today! Bryce's no naps caught up with him today, Tristan was crying over everything and Lilly was fussy and I didn't know how to make her happy (she wanted up then down then up again.)

So I got out my toddler book and looked up some stuff to do (unfortunately most of the items I was missing 1 ingredient/peice) So we listened to music and danced (this went well) did a kite craft with stickers (Lilly does not like stickers, haha!) Then after Bryce had his 100th breakdown and it was only 9:30 I got desperate and we ended up outside with shaving cream (works like a charm!)

They had a blast for over an hour with that stuff! Hayden didn't participate (he was freaked out after Bryce got stung by a wasp) but he watched the kids make a mess. They were all covered head to toy in cream by the end so then I got out the hose and hosed them down!!! They are all in new outfits and dry now (I was a little worried about Tristan's skin, but it's been 2 hours and no break out!!!) Oh just to let you know, my kids play with this stuff in the tub and love it (it's cheap too!)

Next week we are going to play with spagetti and use it to paint outside, make pb playdough, and noodle necklaces (yes I'm bored!)

The kids ate an early lunch, played a bit and were down for naps (all of them!!!) Trying another new sleep schedule today with Hayden in the fancy room and all the other kiddos in seperate rooms upstairs, Tristan downstairs, but I told him he has to sleep today (no exceptions after this morning!)
