Thursday

What a yucky day today! The weather that is. The kids had a good morning, they were a bit rowdy this morning. The big boys played up in Bryce's room until school time. Drop off went smoothly. Lilly and I hung out in the play room. I worked on organizing the craft for the kids' Halloween party and she colored, did stickers and watched barney and sang.

We headed back into school with lunch and ate inside. This went very well and Landon finally had no melt downs after school. I had Mrs. Bailey photocopy all their halloween songs and we practiced them (they were so proud to share them with me) I will have Kyle photocopy you the sheet so you can practice with Tristan at home too. We practiced at lunch and before nap time today. They learned about pumpkins today and did a pumpkin craft.

I checked out the sign up sheet. There is no one but me signed up for prizes. Alicia do you mind buying some??? Good ideas would be the mini play doughs (for Halloween) or glow sticks?? I have pin wheels, stickers, tatoos, and chinese yo yos. If you don't feel like looking, I would be happy to pick them up for you. I've seen the play dough at Giant and Target, I can go to the $1 store for glow sticks. Or actually I am wanting to go to the Christmas Tree shops tomorrow morning and I bet they'll have some cheap cool stuff (they always have holiday tablets in like 12 packs). let me know!

Lilly was in a good mood today, well until 12:15 and then melt down city and off to bed she went. All down for quiet time. I told Bryce and Tristan they can watch Space Buddies at 2:30 today.

Happy Birthday Joe!

Tuesday

Today has been a very good day. We are in a good routine with preschool and our lunch now. Last night I read through Landon's newsletter and totally forgot about going hunting for nature items for his collage today. I saw that Tristan had nothing too so we went outside this morning before heading off to school. We found lots of items, leaves, flowers, mulch, rocks, straw, etc. Their collages are quite pretty.

Landon did the whole "I don't want to go to school" thing this morning, but when it came time to go he was ready and happy, he ran right in screaming, "Bye mommy!" They had a good day, and no melt downs so far afterward. I only got to glimpse at the sign up sheet really fast, I'll look again on Thursday, snack items are all taken, there are still spots open for prizes and candy. I'll have to see if someone signed up yet for face paint.

Lilly had a better day today, her and Landon were at each other this morning and she had her moment in the car but much better than last week.

We played outside for a good bit of the morning while Kobe napped, the kids all ate in the car for lunch so back out they went when we got home (might as well live it up today before all the rain comes tomorrow and Thursday). The boys are chasing and sweating like crazy, Lilly is playing t-ball and riding in her car

monday

Fun fun fun fun and more fun! We played until 2 today!! Super late naps and they hit the pillows hard today!

We ran around outside for a long time, then did some more halloween painting masks, played inside. The kids had a blast and were in and out of the house. Everyone got along well, no major melt downs at all and the weather was very nice. Ian loved the babies and loved pointing out all their nuks. He ate great too!

Thursday

Here are a few pics from Fall fest this past Saturday!

It's beautiful outside, the boys are playing out in the yard as I type! Lilly and Kobe are hanging out with me.

School went well (even for Landon who didn't want to go) We ate lunch outside/in the car and it went very smooth.

Awww, I hear Kobe cracking up laughing at Lilly right now.

Lilly is now in good spirits but wow was she being a diva this morning! I swear her and Landon are the same person! I had a few items to pick up at the grocery store (quick stop) and she was fussing about anything and everything. She is seriously a different person now that she had lunch.

Oh gotta go, I hear Lilly screaming because Kobe's got her hair (again!)

Wed

Sorry so late! I have pics but my computer is taking forever to upload them since I took a bunch over the weekend.

We spent the morning keeping busy. We had breakfast, then took Bryce to school, then played choo choo's down in the basement, did a Halloween mask craft and painted, then outside to run around and swing, back in for lunch, then off to pick up Bryce, and home for a nap.

It was nice to finally get outside with the boys. Landon was in a bad mood this morning but finally started to cooperate by the late morning. Ian was in good spirits and ate a very good lunch and breakfast. He had a cereal bar and milk for breakfast, and grilled cheese, apples, and pb crackers with juice for lunch.

Ian and Landon were down for naps by noon. Ian was super excited to see his toys in his bed again!

Tuesday

It's been a good day, the sun actually came out for a few minutes too! I'm hoping by Thursday I can take Lilly outside for a bit (it's been forever!)

Miss Lilly was having a rough morning. She was fussing and throwing fits about everything and anything. I thought she would enjoy painting a halloween mask but even that ended with her in tears. I finally gave up and popped Barney in and got lunch ready. She went right to bed when we got home from preschool. I hope she sleeps these grumpies off!

The boys seemed to have a good day at school. Everyone had clean faces and shirts for pictures. Landon had a melt down after school again (he's is just so exhausted afterward) I thought he would go right to sleep for nap but I still hear him up there playing. Bryce says he's not going to nap either, even though I told him he has soccer. I'm still hoping he passes out on the floor.

Nothing much else, Kobe got a 3rd tooth today, I'm off to clean my nasty house and make letters for parents about the boys Halloween party.

Monday

Sorry this is so late, I'm going through Bryce's closet and new fall clothes and lets just say it isn't a fun time! Boys do not like trying on clothes that's for sure.

We had a great morning. Ian ate very well for both meals, muffins and waffles with milk for breakfast and grilled cheese, grapes, pb crackers, yogurt, and juice for lunch.

Landon and Ian were besties this morning and just went to town playing cars and choo choos. We even went through Landon's wardrobe while they played legos up in his room. He is in a great mood and no fights of picking from either of them (wish I could say they same for Bryce and Landon)

Bryce had his field trip, we picked him up and came home and had lunch. I could tell Ian and Landon were both sleepy. Off to bed they went. Ian slept with his toys from home (he was so excited to sleep with his big truck!)
