Wed

Jocelyn ate all her breakfast in 5 minutes this morning!! That was a record!!! She drank her yogurt drink, ate a few crackers and had a little soup for lunch so far.

Jocelyn laid on the couch until around 8 this morning, when Bryce and Landon finally woke. They all had about a half hour to eat and play.

School went well (Jocelyn said they played hide and seek with her egg). I asked what they learned today and J said "if you catch fire, drop, stop and roll, and if there is a baby birds egg then you gently scoop it up and roll around with it???" haha!!!

Your going to be excited Nicole!!! Next field trip at the fire house is on a Monday!!! Nov. 1st!!

Also there is a sign up sheet for the Halloween party for snacks/paper goods/goodies/treats. Although your already providing the craft so you wouldn't need to give anything else, but if you want me to sign you up for something let me know.

The kiddos are playing with a bunch of balloons and having a balloon parade! I'm going to try and let Bryce stay up *but he is tired!" so look out daddy for a grumpy kiddo tonight!!

Tuesday

Breakfast: Lilly had cereal with milk and a choc muffin and ate well, Tristan had a banana and only a few bites of his pancake.

Lunch: Lilly at a ton!!! Spagetti, cheese, oranges, and milk (Halloween cookies for treat), Tristan had pb and marsh sandwich, mickey cheese, apples, and milk and halloween cookies. Jocelyn had her yogurt drink and not too much else for lunch so we will try again later.

We had a very unproductive morning!!! We took Bryce to school and I was going to take a short trip to the township building to drop off our sewer bill and registration forms (thought I would save money on a stamp) well we got into big traffic with construction and it took a lot longer than 5 minutes!!! The kids did well though!

We came home and played in the basement, sang songs, and danced, then it was already time to pick up Bryce.

Lilly still has no poops!

Jocelyn is playing very well with the kiddos.

All seem in great moods (except Landon who is angry because he didn't get a cookie at lunch!)

Friday

Jocelyn wanted dry cereal for breakfast and ate about half and had some strawberry milk. I took the kiddos and dropped them off for school, then had to pick them up 15 min early for speech. I gave them their lunches in the car. Jocelyn ate half her sandwich and a strawberry and drank her yogurt drink (I'll try to get her to eat more later)

Speech went well and wow is it nice outside! Landon and Jocelyn played on the playground for 45 minutes. Then we headed home.

The kiddos are now playing nicely upstairs before "quiet time" Bryce needs a nap bad!!!! Jocelyn and I will work on her ghost this afternoon.

Thursday

Breakfast: blueberry pancakes, milk (everyone ate really well)
Lunch: spagettios, pb and marsh, grapes, mickey cheese, milk and Halloween cookies (all ate great again!)

Fast morning! We took Bryce to school then played downstairs (I had to vaccumm and clean the bathroom down there and the kids were awesome and just played so well and let me get it all done!!) We then sang song, read books, did puzzles, and painted a jack o latern.

We went outside for the last hour of the morning before picking up Bryce. It's so beautiful outside today!! The kids had a blast since they've been cooped up inside all week, if they get up early enough we'll go out after naps too!

No poops from either of your kiddos today yet! Lilly seems more chipper today. Just a little runny nose. She showed me her going up the stairs skills :-)

Wednesday

Jocelyn didn't eat much breakfast or lunch today. Just a little nibble here and there, we'll see if she eats later on.

She went #2 3 times this morning (counting the time you were here) poor thing, by the time I picked her up from preschool she said,

MY BUTT HURTS and when I sit it spreads. She now calls her poop, hot diarrhea! She said she went once at school. She told me her belly hurts *but it might be from not eating???? She's playing fine and acting fine as long as she's not thinking about it.

Since lunch she ran to the bathroom saying "oh no the hot diarrhea is coming" haha then said nope. But was complaining about how sore it was so I put some cream on (well she didn't like that one bit!!!) She continued to wipe it off a few trips to the potty. It's been about a half hour since the last complain so we'll see. I really think it is from the miralax because she's acting fine.

So hopefully she'll eat and stop pooping :-)

The kids are playing very nicely today (we did go and get new pants for Jocelyn the ones you described)

We will have an hour of quiet time for Bryce and Jocelyn from 2-3 (I'm going to try to let Bryce skip nap today so he goes to bed early)

Kyle please try to get Bryce to bed at 7:30-8, so he's not up when I get home so we can watch our show tonight!!! LOVE YA!

Jocelyn has a fun ghost craft to work on this afternoon!

LOVE your Halloween decorations!~

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!
