Tuesday

Breakfast: home made mini banana choc chip muffins, milk (and Tristan had a banana too) All the kiddos ate well, I had to hand feed Lilly (she wouldn't eat otherwise)

Lunch: eggies with cheese, the boys had apples with caramel dip (lilly had oranges), jelly toast, milk, and halloween cookies for Lilly, Tristan and Landon who ate very well!!!! Jocelyn and Bryce ate about half of their lunches (we'll try later)

Great morning! We had fun catching up after not being together for a week! We did a spider craft that Landon did last week with their handprints. I let the kids play with pretend spider webs. We glued and traced. We sang itsy bitsy and counted the spiders' legs. We then colored for a long while after our project.

We then went downstairs and read some Halloween books and listened to music. Tristan was really into puzzles for a while and Landon and I helped with that.

The Vogt kiddos are sleepy heads today! Lots of eye rubbing and just looking sleepy (even Tristan) he was just laying on me for a while this morning. After lunch he didn't even want to go play upstairs (very unusual) he just laid in the playroom with Lilly.

We also played ball downstairs (with very soft balls)

Monday

Ian ate a great breakfast of banana, pancakes and milk! He ate his applesauce, cheese, and a little bit of his pb and j sandwich and some milk at lunch.

Fun and busy day! The morning flew by! The three boys had a great time this morning! Baby Reid came to visit from 8-9:30!!! We played in the playroom for a bit then went down to the basement. We listened to music and did our weather for the day. Bryce said he missed school so we also did a mini lesson about butterflies. The kids made some butterflies (and we talked about symmetry and used finger paint to show it).

We then came upstairs to show Reid his "sleep room" so then we had to play in the boys' rooms. Oh my did Ian have fun with that! He was squealing in delight when he saw their race car beds!!! Hint hint momma!!! He was a busy man playing with their choo choo table and trains (another hint for santa!!!)

Then we said good bye to Reid and played outside (it was so nice out!) Warm too, hence why Bryce has no shirt on (he was sweating) and he wanted a pic of his belly tattoo. We then went to the peds office for flu vaccines (me and Ian played in the yard beside the office outside) He fell asleep on the ride home for a few minutes so I let him stay up until 1 for nap.

We ate lunch then went outside for another hour or so! the boys were so funny. My two were going up and down the hill with their trucks, Ian was following behind and was scooting down the hill on his bottom!!! :-)

Friday

Jocelyn did well with her new cereal this morning :-) The boys woofed their fiber 1 poptarts (they love those things!!!)

at Lunch time Landon was the only one who cleared their plates. I'm pretty sure though Jocelyn will be munching on her's later this afternoon when the boys are napping.

The kiddos woke up early today so they got to play with Jocelyn for a good bit before school. School went well, although I didn't get much out of them as to what they did. I know they painted a fish and had pretzel goldfish for snack.

We came home and had some lunch and then I was hoping for outside play but we were only out for 5 minutes when Bryce decided it was too cold!!! Ahhhh, looks like my boys will need their winter jackets soon in order to get them to play out there!

They all went upstairs and are playing great! Landon is already down for a nap, I hate to interrupt Jocelyn and Bryce since they are playing so great, maybe he'll go down for a late nap at 2????

Can't wait for tonight, I'm making ranch wraps with salsa to dip!

Wed

Jocelyn ate her entire breakfast!!! So did the boys (must have been a hungry day!)

Jocelyn watched tv until around 8 (she was sleepy) that's when I woke the boys up and got everyone ready. They played well for the 45 min. before school time.

School went great! The froglets were a hit. FYI Miss Anstine said she had some (still has the frogs) and it took them a year to change!!! She didn't use a heat lamp either. Mrs. Knisley said that she called them baby frogs and Jocelyn HEAVILY corrected her (no they are froglets!) haha

They learned about spiders today they both were describing in great detail about how they lay eggs and the babies climb on their mamma's back until bigger. I was impressed.

Landon had lots of fun with Thomas today! They did a Halloween craft and played super well! The morning flew by (love days like today) Let's just hope the afternoon goes just as well.

Not sure about naps yet today, we'll have to see if I think Bryce can do without!

The kiddos are eating lunch as I type.

Wed

These are for you daddy! At least if they aren't these cute adorable creatures for Halloween I still got pics!!! Although they've told me they want to be these for trick or treating!?? We'll let them pick for each party and trick or treat! Oh by the way, Trick or Treat in Red Lion is Sat. night, you want to take them around and stop by your mom's since we don't have any parties to attend???

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!)
