Monday

Breakfast: whole wheat banana bread with choc chips and milk (All the boys ate very well, Ian didn't drink much though)
Lunch: pb and marshmallow on wheat, cheese slices, yogurt, and grapes, milk. Ian ate a ton of grapes and cheese today! He also drank his entire cup of milk, not into the sandwich though.

Awesome morning! We were super busy and it flew by! We ate breakfast and then took Bryce to school. Came home and talked about Halloween and things we see at Halloween. We talked about spiders and sang "itsy bitsy spider" then made a spider craft using our hands. The boys loved playing with the "pretend" cobwebs. After we were finished we counted our spiders' legs.

We then went downstairs and played for a while. We sang songs and danced, read lots of books, and did our alphabet flash cards. Ian is still kind of young for the flash cards and doesn't like to sit still for books, but I know just hearing the letters/words and and seeing them he'll be wanting to participate soon!

We then got to go outside and play for a half hour. We swung and ran around the yard. Ian and Landon were very into the play cars too!

Then it was time to pick up Bryce, we came home and then had a visit from Jen and baby Reid. We ate some lunch and then played. Bryce had to play upstairs after lunch (he was crazy from school and not napping yesterday) The 3 little ones played great in the playroom.

All are sleeping, They were put down around 12:45 (they were exhausted!) I can tell my two didn't have a nap yesterday (wow they couldn't be in the same room together today!) Ian is in a great mood! No fussing at all today! Very into playing and keeping super busy.

Thursday

Breakfast: waffles with pb and syrup, milk and Tristan ate a banana All ate well

Lunch: Lilly had spagetti, some pizza, applesauce, cheese, and milk. The boys had pizza, chicken soup (didn't eat much of that), apples, cheese curls, milk They all ate well

We took bryce to school then I HAD (as in almost out of milk and bread) to go quick grocery shopping. We were in and out in a half hour and they were very good. We came back and played and read books and listened to music until it was time to pick up Bryce again. The kiddos ate lunch and then the big boys went upstairs to play, Lilly is hanging out with me in the playroom.

Ummm seriously, I had like at least 5 people (including the bag boy) comment how darn cute Lilly is! Poor boys they get the shaft when pretty girl is around! Doesn't help that she is a total flirt and waves at everyone and says "hi!" Stinking cutie pie!

Everyone is in good moods but I'm hoping with the yucky weather everyone sleeps well too! Including Mr. Bryce (he needs a nap!)

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!~
