Tuesday

Breakfast: pumpkin bread, grapes, milk (Lilly and Bryce didn't eat much but Tristan and Landon ate a ton!

Lunch: eggs with cheese, jelly toast, apples and pb, and milk (They all ate everything on their plates except Lilly and Landon who didn't eat their apples (but Mr. Landon actually took a bite and ate it!!! woohooo!!!) They all got Halloween cookies as a treat.

Fun day today!!! We took Bryce to school came home and the kiddos played while I folded laundry. Then we talked about our new Month (October) and what happens in October (Halloween, Daddy(Uncle Joes) and Aunt Whit's birthdays) We talked about Halloween and what we see. Then we made our first ghost project. Super duper easy and the kids loved it, they played ghosts all afternoon.

We went downstairs and danced and sang (Tristan was all about dancing and actually didn't want to stop to do flash cards) Landon and Lilly did flashcards and I was impressed that Landon knew every single letter except 3!!!! Wow! Lilly repeated the letters. WE also read books, and put puzzles together. The morning just flew by.

We picked up Bryce, ate lunch and then the big boys played a little while after I put Lilly down for a nap (boy was she sleepy today!!!)

I will need diapers again for Tristan and Lilly (I feel like I go through them so fast, sorry!) I guess it's because they both use them!

Friday

Breakfast: Jocelyn ate half her bagel
Lunch: She ate a bit and said she wasn't very hungry at the moment so we'll try again in another hour or so.

The kids played great early this morning (although Bryce wasn't up till 8:15) Jocelyn looked sleepy and laid around until the boys woke up.

I took them to school and then Landon and I had a playdate with Thomas!

Picked up the kiddos and decided to check out their classroom again. They showed me all their art work and cubbies and that the month changed. Jocelyn had an accident with black paint today and it got on her bottom. The teacher said she's never had a child get paint on their seat! haha. I'll try my best to get it out today but it's quite a bit!

The kids came home and ate lunch and are now playing *unfortunately Bryce has already had a major melt down so he and Landon will for sure be taking a nap this afternoon!

Thursday

Breakfast: Yummy banana bread (it was so good!) The kiddos all ate great! Tristan also had a banana

Lunch: eggs with cheese, manderine oranges, mac n cheese, cookies, milk

The kids ate a ton at lunch! They must love velveeta cheese because that's what I put on the eggs and they gobbled them up! Lilly ate a ton of oranges too!

The kids were great today! We took Bryce to school then came home and did a good hour of arts and crafts because Lilly kepts saying "color" We colored, made spooky ghosts with our hands, and used stickers (she hates stickers by the way!)

We then went downstairs and ran around and listened to music. We read books and played, played, played! Oh and Lilly's new trick (well I know it's not new but it is here) is climbing those 2 steps downstairs. She was on them constantly today climbing to the top (and then couldn't get down)

She also did her downward facing dog a lot today and I noticed she is trying to stand up and then plops on her bottom.

Wed

Breakfast: Jocelyn said she was too cold to eat! :-) haha, she ate a quarter of her waffle and some strawberry milk

Lunch: She is still working on her strawberries and her turkey (woofed her yogurt drink down)

The kiddos played great early this morning, and then we headed off to preschool. I didn't get to ask them much about it because I almost forgot Bryce and I had a dentist appt at 11:45! Kyle came home with Jocelyn and Landon for an hour and gave them lunch.

At the dentist's office Bryce got to pick out a prize (he picked out 2) and when the dentist asked about it he said the ring is for my "girlfriend" his exact words! So cute!

She loved it!

It's now almost 2 and the 2 big kids are now eating (haha) I have a feeling we'll be having a little quiet time this afternoon.

Tuesday

Breakfast: pancakes with choc chips, banana, milk (all ate well, Lilly wouldn't touch her banana)

Lunch: spagettios, pb and marsh, cheese slices (mickey cheese), apples/applesauce, milk, Halloween cookies:

Lilly ate a ton for Lunch!!! Wow does she love cheese and spagettios!! My two didn't eat much. Jocelyn at half a sandwich, and Tristan ate well.

We took Bryce to school and then headed to the mall (I had to use that 10 dollar off coupon!!!) I made my double stroller into a triple (I'm a genious and it worked great!). We got there before the stores opened so I did 3 laps around (whew I was pooped!) Then we played with the coin collector thing that makes pennies go round and round (Tristan and Landon were in heaven!!!, I wish I would have had more pennies with me!) Then I had them play a little quarter machine where they each got a bounce ball. They had so much fun bouncing it around the mall!!! There was no one there so I let them run around and bounce bounce bounce (near the main entrance) Then we went to JCPenny's for like 10 minutes (thanks again! I got 4 maternity shirts for only 8 bucks!!! woohoo!)

We came home and played for another hour then Jocelyn joined us. We got back in the van picked up Bryce and headed home. Then ate lunch.

Lilly is so cute because when we get home for lunch I say, " now go inside, take off your shoes, and wash your hands" She tried taking off her shoes and then slapped her hands together :-)

The big kids are upstairs playing very well with choo choo's and Lilly is hanging with me until nap time!

Oh they love those Halloween cookies!

Monday

Breakfast: fruit loops with milk
Lunch: grilled cheese, grapes, milk, granola treat

Ian ate like a little piggy at lunch today! I cut up half his sandwich and gave it to him while I cut up his grapes and by the time I turned around it was gone! I thought he had thrown it on the floor but nope, all in the belly!

Everyone ate very well today.

We took Bryce to school then came home and played! Landon and Ian had fun just getting every toy out possible today! We read books, worked on our names (I would write it out for them and say the letters) Ian was more interested in eating crayons though. We sang "old MCdonald" and read our numbers on the farm book and practiced counting and our animal sounds (haha Ian growls for every animal it's so funny!)

We then went and picked up Bryce and had lunch. Again Ian was sleepy after lunch and rubbing his eyes.

I'll be at the docs (ultrasound today) from 1-2 (Kyle will be here) and all the boys should be napping nicely!

Wednesday

Sorry this is a bit late (getting ready for vacation while watching kiddos!) and no pics, the camera is packed and I was afraid if I used it I would forget it.

Breakfast: Jocelyn ate about half her waffles and had some milk, my boys had zucchini bread and milk

Lunch: Grilled cheese with turkey on the side, grapes, and yogurt. Jocelyn ate very well (just a little yogurt left. Ian loves his grapes! Bryce ate nothing! Landon ate his and Bryce's sandwich. Jocelyn informed me there is something wrong with my turkey (haha!)

Great morning and wow did it go fast! The kiddos played all morning with Jocelyn's little pet shop (she shared great!) Oh and sorry if she is asking for a CARS lego set for christmas (Bryce found a magazine flyer and was so excited!!!)

Landon and I ran some errands (yeah for $7 for a full tank of gas thanks to Weis rewards!!) then came home and met up with Ian. Ian fussed for seriously a second today after mamma left! totally loves outside time. We played in the sand and ran around and swung (until Ian's eyes started to get heavy)

Then it was pick up time at preschool. The kids said they had a great day and learned the wheels on the bus song (which I've heard them sing a few times today since) Jocelyn got her picture forms.

They ate lunch and then played in the playroom (so cute) Jocelyn set up a club house and was playing house with all the kids. It was so sweet to see her talk in baby talk to Landon (and then Landon talked that way to Ian)haha!!!

Ian went down for nap at 1 (and boy was he pooped!) He was rubbing his eyes all through lunch. Jocelyn, Bryce and Landon played race cars for a while until I put Landon to bed too.

Now the big kids are playing in the basement (more race cars) and watching pooh's halloween. I told Bryce he doesn't have to take a nap today since he'll be in the car for a 4 hour ride this evening (if he sleeps that means he can't pick on Landon!)
