It's quarter to 1 and we are just now eating! The doctor appt took forever! Kyle took Landon in while I waited out in the van with Alexa and Kobe. Spent the hour in the van, singing Christmas songs, reading books, playing cars, watching elmo, and Alexa entertained herself for a while putting the windows up and down!
Spent the rest of the early morning at home playing in the basement. Alexa and Kobe were really into the blocks today.
Alexa has been hungry today! Ate a ton for breakfast (all her oatmeal with pears and then some added chex cereal and then snack an hour later) Woofing her chicken nuggets, yogurt and cherries now!!!

Wednesday
It was a super fun and busy morning! Miss Alexa was a bit touchy/emotional today but she seemed to shake it off by lunch time.
We did preschool/bus drop off. Came home and played outside for a half hour just to run around. Seemed to get colder as we were out so we came in. It was nice though to get some fresh air. Came in and I set up the little people nativity and went through the bible story of Christmas. We talked about all the characters and who's birthday it is. We sang happy birthday to Jesus. Then we made a sticker nativity craft and again went through the people and animals.
Then Oliver and Elliott painted their ornaments they made last week.
We all went down to play in the basement for the rest of the morning. We listened to Christmas music. I was on a mission to re-organize toys since I just got 2 new storage bin/shelves. Looks great and we had lots of fun!
Everyone ate well except shockingly.... Oliver! He would not touch his banana at breakfast or lunch and wouldn't touch his soup you packed for him. Thank goodness I had a baked potato in the fridge. I put some EVOO and he woofed that down with his yogurt. Alexa had chicken nuggets, yogurt and her cherries for lunch.

Monday
Best morning!!! Preschool drop off and bus pick up went well then I took Alexa and Kobe to the library for story time. It was a huge success and I'm hoping to go Mondays when it's just Alexa and Kobe! I loved that we were in a seperate room (huge difference and I could see them at all times and it was great because Kobe could roam around during the story) Alexa and another little girl who was there sat and listened to the whole story. Kobe bopped back n forth and would peak into the story here and there. Today we learned about penguins. Alexa got to hold a special stuffed penguin while Miss Lisa read. After reading we got up and did some singing and dancing and finger plays. I was told Alexa is a pro (although she was the oldest there today) Miss Lisa said they usually have 8-12 kiddos but today it was only 3 counting my two so it was a little group but we still had fun. Then at the end the leader got out some toys for some socialization and Alexa was mesmerized by a toy with beads in that acted like an hour glass. There were 2 girls from York college studying to be teachers so the kids got lots of attention and play time today!
Came home and it was so nice we played outside for the rest of the morning. It was warm enough for no coats! Loved it! They were in their glory.
Ate lunch at noon. Alexa ate super for both meals today. Oatmeal with pears for breakfast and mac n cheese with cherries (didn't touch fruit) and yogurt for lunch. They are sooooo tuckered out, Alexa is just blankly staring at the tv right now, I don't think she's blinked for 5 minutes! haha Soon off for naps and I'm hoping they are long ones, I'm pooped!

Alexa's in a good mood today! We did school drop offs then I took Alexa and Kobe to Target to return a few gifts and then we went to the library to pick up some videos I had on hold. They were so good! They loved running around the library for a bit after sitting at the store (they had some pretzels and milk and were very good)
Came back home and they went off and played so nicely! We read books, got the tunnel out and listened to some Christmas music. Alexa then showed off her talents of taking off her socks and pants! haha
She ate really well today. Pb,pear oatmeal for breakfast and for lunch chicken nuggets with yogurt and grapes. Drank her entire cup of milk and had a huge wet diaper!

Ugh I even tried creating a new blog to see if I could upload pix and nope! I guess I'm at my max for all my blogs. When I get a chance I may try to set up an entirely new account. This stinks, I'm very upset I can't continue with pictures! I've been doing these blogs since Bryce was born!
So today was great! Alexa was in a super play by myself mood! Seriously she just went off all morning and played played played. She didn't want to come upstairs much at all and I had to drag her outside for the whole 20 minutes we decided to play outside. She was really into playing kitchen and pretending to make pizza. I love this age when they play so well alone (yet I feel like I'm neglecting them) haha Although I did have her sit for a little and paint her ornaments (which she decided to paint her hand as well). She drank almost her entire cup of milk and had 1 wet diaper (not soaked though) She ate her cereal much better with the pb (I might have to try that with Kobe, pb and a mashed up banana with oatmeal sounds yummy to me!)
The Baldwin boys were ornament making fools! They loved the salt dough and not only made hand print ornaments, but other Christmas ornaments out of cookie cutters. Oliver loved cutting the dough with a butter knife and Elliott enjoyed my roller. They did this for almost an hour. They are cooking now and they can paint them next week when they come! Oliver is talking up a storm. Elliott begged to go outside to sled. I knew I had enough snow boots and gloves so out we went for 20 minutes. I couldn't believe it but the sled actually worked on the very tiny amount we had. I was impressed all toddlers kept their gloves on! Came inside and played in the basement (well I picked up while they played it looked like wreck!) We read some books.
Came up and had lunch. Everyone ate well except Alexa dissed my mac n cheese for the second day. So strange how a favorite can suddenly become not the case! Has she been eating pb and j sandwiches at all? I haven't tried them with her for a while and thought maybe tomorrow I'll try that. She ate all her fruit and yogurt (oh and I have a ton of frozen fruit by the way!) Elliott had a pb sandwhich, yogurt, and grapes with milk and Oliver had his special food with some added grapes and yogurt.

That's strange! I went to upload pictures on my blog and it says I've reached the maximum number I am allowed and I have to pay for more space???? I'll have to have Kyle look into that. If that's the case perhaps I'll just post a pic or 2 on facebook and tag you in it??? I have a cute one of Alexa making her handprint ornaments I'll post that on facebook today.
Good morning! Alexa (other than having a few melt downs over paci) was excellent! I will stay consistant with that for now on and I'm sure she'll get over it! She was talking up a storm today too! Her and Kobe were loving my kitty Zues (he's really starting to become quite the lover with small kiddos) She was saying "kitty" "soft" "tail", etc. She also pointed to my tummy and said "baby" (so cute!)
So we stayed inside today. My sister brought her girls over for a little so she could wrap up things with her job. If I would have just had Alexa and Kobe I was going to take them out for a little in the snow. However bundling up 4 didn't sound like so much fun, I'm sure we'll have more times to do that! I am planning to take Landon out now that the toddlers are asleep.
Alexa didn't eat much today (I'm guessing she doesn't have her normal appetite back yet?) Just half her oatmeal and fruit for breakfast and a few bites of mac n cheese and yogurt (but ate all her grapes at lunch and drank all her milk. She looked sleepy today so she went down for a nap at 12:15.

Tuesay
Everyone ate well for both meals. Although Alexa didn't touch her cherries?
Pretty boring morning,..... haha not much to report. I started making some Thanksgiving foods while the 1 year olds watched elmo too.
Alexa is having a bit of a melt down now that lunch is over. Her pants keep falling down so I'm thinking the poor t\hing is going to get some duct tape on her diaper today (I'm desperate!)
