Wednesday

 Another pretty day outside!

The boys and Alexa ate well for both meals!  I tried pb and j with Alexa and Kobe since we haven't tried for months.  Alexa loved it!  Yeah!  Kobe not so much, although he ate one yesterday.  We also had fruit, yogurt and milk with lunch.

Elliott was so proud of himself today!  He came running down to announce he pooped on the potty all by himself upstairs!  It was a huge one so I had to give him a cookie for a job well done :-) 

Oliver had 2 poops today.  None from Alexa yet.

We talked more about the color red today.  Did our pretend painting of red objects and looked for red items around the room.  We then made a red wind sock that the kids got to paint, color, glue, Elliott practiced his cutting skills while the wee ones tore the paper.

Haha, it's 12:30 now and I'm typing in the playroom while the 3 1 year olds play, They are all so tired but I'm trying to keep them up till 1 in hopes they sleep better.  Alexa is laying with her blankie beside me :-) 

We also sang songs, played musical instruments, did our exercises, went outside for an hour and played too.  The 1 year olds took turns for the longest time climbing up the big tree house and going down the slide.

Alexa and Kobe got wet from the water table so they are hanging out now in the diapers.

Tuesday

 Another beautiful and wonderful day!  Had an hour and half with just Kobe since syd napped!  Didn't know what to do with myself (but I was pretty bored!)

Preschool went great!  Got to chat with Mrs. K!  So supposedly Mr. L and T are 2 of the best behaved students in class so far.  She said it's going to be a tough class this year.  They both are positioned in the back for rug time (which is when she instructs) the back is where she puts the kiddos who are a little above the others.  However she said Landon's now having issues of (ughhhh big SURPRISE.... focusing!) haha  She said he isn't a behavior problem it's just he's in La La land.  Picking his fingers, looking up in the sky, etc.  So he might be moving heehee  Tristan has a pink eye?  Literally more like pink eye brows, guessing he got some paint on him?  Lilly had a good day but again she's beat after school, hoping for a big nap from her.

Oh and T and Landon's show n tell day is moved to Friday because Tuesdays are when I pick them up early.  Since I don't have Alexa on Tuesdays anymore I don't need Shelli to bring Lilly home that day!

Monday

 Beautiful and fun morning!!!  I forgot the camera at the library today :-(.  So I was a week off for the story time.  We will go next week though, but we still had fun.  We saw the fishies and counted them, ran around the library, read lots and lots of books, rocked in the rocker, sat on the window sill with pillows, and played peek a boo in the play house.  Then I put them in the stroller and fed them a snack and gave them a drink and checked out some books!

Came home and played outside in the most beautiful weather ever!!  We were out for over an hour! 

Such a nice day and so so so peaceful to just have 2 (although it will only be for this month until my sister starts her new job) but we'll enjoy it for now! :-)

Alexa had a poop *not huge) today and ate great!  Cereal and fruit for breakfast, chicken nuggets, yogurt, peaches, and crackers and milk for lunch

Friday

No pictures today!  With my headache and stuffed up head we've been keeping it simple today :-) 
Mr
The boys were great today!  We took a trip to Target for medicine.  They were waving at everyone as we walked by!  Elliott pointed out the starbucks and how his mommy loves that place and they have the best juice boxes in the world? haha

Came home and just let the boys play around the house with toys.  Mr. Kobe and Oliver keep getting at each other today, attacking one another like brothers!  I'm ready for both of them to take nice long nappies today!  heehee

Didn't have to do any preschool pickup or drop off, my sister took Landon both ways.  Elliott was majorly missing Landon but now that he's home they are playing nicely up in Landon's room until rest time at 1.  At least they get a good hour of play time after lunch!

Oh and big news.

Mr. O has been trying all morning to take a big #2, after 3 diaper changes of starters we had a mother load (and it was formed!!!) yeah!  gluten free must be working!

Thursday

 Syd is a happy girl today!  playing all by herself so well! 

Preschool drop off went great!  Lilly told me not to hold her hand or walk up to Mrs. Bailey (so Miss Independent!)

Big boys did great!

Syd napped from 9-10, so nice to just have 2 tots!  We talked more about the color red.  We sorted blocks into a red pile and built towers. We exercised, sang our ABC's, talked again about our family and trees.  We read books and played.  Very nice morning!

Syd had a poo, none from Alexa yet.

Alexa needs cereal next week.

Everyone ate well.  Syd seems to like her milk mixed with pureed fruit (smoothie) drinking it!

Syd and Alexa had chicken nuggets, fruit, yogurts, mac n cheese for lunch.

That's about it!  Mr. Kobe was a bit of a grump a lump and was put down for nap at noon.  Trying to keep the others up till 1.  You should see Alexa's destruction of the playroom!  Getting it out of her system! 

Oh and I tried the "leash book bag" with Alexa for bus stop and preschool pick up.  She did super well with it.  So now just syd and Kobe ride in the stroller and Alexa walks.  She loves it, and I love not having to take 2 strollers and try manuvering that!

Very good day today! 

Wednesday

 Bus pick up and preschool drop off went well today.  Came home and the 3 toddlers and Elliott played outside for an hour.  We talked about trees and what colors they are.  We walked around the yard and looked and touched the trees.  We sang "the green grass" song.  We swang, ran around and had lots of fun getting outside (it's been too long)

Came inside and talked about the color red.  Gathered red items around the house.  Had each kiddo say "red"  Then I caught Kobe repeating it over and over for the rest of the morning.

Then we talked about our families and who we live at our houses.  We made a tree craft with our picture on it.  The kids had fun gluing and looking at their pictures.

Had lunch.  Everyone ate well.  Chicken nuggets, yogurt, fruit, Elliott had a pb sandwich. 

Oliver had a big #2 so far, no one else, Elliott is doing a good job peeing on the potty today!

Alexa is in need of diapers soon!

Tuesday

 All is well except for Miss Syd!  Ughhh thought we were getting better after a good last week.  Today she screams if I am not holding her at all times or if she's eating!  Can't put her on the floor or she screams and does her strange crawl toward me.  So while I type this she is screaming in the exersaucer beside me :-( boo  I don't get why she won't play at my house!  She did play nice early this morning before bus stop time.  Hopefully she'll take a good nap and be happier this afternoon.  I just feel terrible having her so mad! 

She ate good today.  and is happy when she is eating.  I'm about to put her in the highchair again and give her some more puffs!
Syd napped for about an hour and woke up to a huge poop.  Alexa also took a huge #2 after lunch today.  Lilly as well!

Spent today inside since it's so yucky outside.  We played playdough for a good bit of the morning.  I made a worm family for Alexa and Lilly.

We colored, and read books.  I'm hoping Syd lets me play some games with the kiddos after I'm done typing.  \

I've let Tristan and Landon play legos all morning and now are playing int he tent down in the basement all day since it's their last day of vacation.

Everyone ate well today.  Mac n cheese for little ones and pb sandwiches for big boys,

Ok I give up, trying to type and hold Syd is impossible,

hjhahaha

That was from her :-)

Off to play with the kiddos until nap time!
