Wednesday

Awesome morning!! Big milestone today... both babies stayed up until 12:20!!! Yeah!! Now let's hope they sleep well this afternoon. I'm so ready for them to be on the afternoon nap schedules so we can do fun activities in the morning and rest in the afternoon. Alexa was a bit fussy after breakfast but once we started playing she shook it off and was in an excellent mood all morning long. She was doing her goofy babbling and making silly faces.

Alexa ate great for breakfast and ok for lunch. Lunch was stuffed shells, peas, banana, and yogurt.

No more poops after her first big one this morning. She loved diaper free time (although she made a puddle on my kitchen floor) that was funny to watch her watch herself pee! She was happy to get her red/sore hiney aired out though. The kids obviously thought it was funny too :-)

We read books, sang songs, played cars, blocks, practiced stairs (haha well during when we were going up and down), The babies had a grand time of taking every single magnet off the door/dishwasher while I was making lunch today too! K and A are becoming quite BFF's these days.

Landon was home with the 2 wee ones and was great with them too. Drop off for preschool went great!

Tuesday

It's been a pretty good day. Lilly practiced her cutting skills (she makes me nervous though, I just hope she doesn't try the whole "hair cutting" experiment most little girls do at my house! She's getting good though with them and I know it's good for her to practice. She also painted, and colored today too. Special treat for her today was that Bryce had his wii privileges taken away for the day so he played with her during the 45 minutes the other boys played downstairs.

Syd had a bottle at 9 and 12 and took a 2 hour nap so far this AM!! Nasty poo today (YUCK-O stinky!) Very happy and rolled a few times today. oh and I don't usually put a blankie on her unless she's on the same floor as me, well today that's not happening anymore. She was in the pack n play for pm nap in the dining room and I kept hearing a snorting, go in to check and yep over her head, tried once more and she did it again! I told her she isn't getting snuffed out on my watch so no more blankies in aunt ashwey's house!

Big boys had a good day at school. We talked about no running after school in the church, so what does Tristan say as soon as he gets out of school.... "come on Landon let's jump!" Seriously! So I said no jumping and what's his response.... "let's crawl" Ughhh so I said walking like humans only in church...... that child!!

So my 2 big boys went up for play/quiet time in their rooms at 12:30 and Aiden and Tristan are playing nicely now too! They are playing legos and cars. Kobe is getting into their business which is amusing to me but not so much to the bigger boys (oh now Tristan is playing hide n seek with Kobe) haha

Monday

Everyone ate well for breakfast. Alexa had her cereal with applesauce and milk, and Ian had muffins with milk

Lunch Alexa, lana, and Ian had mac n cheese with veggies, some banana, yogurt. Aiden had a pb sandwich with grapes and yogurt. The big kids had some carrots/cheese/crackers too and Ian's lollypops for dessert!!

All in good moods today but i can tell most had a busy weekend!!! Ian and landon went up for rest time around 11:45! Ian of course was begging me :-) We also ate lunch at like 10:45 because again everyone was begging to eat.

Alexa took a cat nap this morning from 9-10 (she was signing for sleep starting around 8). She played well in the basement before and after nap. She is acting more like she was a week before she got sick :-) We are now in the play room and she is dancing to kids songs!

The bigger kids played outside early this morning. We put the bubble machine on, ran around, swang, rode bikes. It was a bit chilly so they asked to come in after about an hour. Then they played downstairs with dinosaurs, cars, and legos.

Hoping for the 2 wee ones to go down for naps around 1-2ish.

Friday

Syd at her bottles all gone at 9 and 12 so far. napped from 9:30-10:45 and went down again at 1. Very happy girl, no poops yet, but gee do I love her chunka leggies! Lot's of cooing and rolling from belly to back!
Au
Big boys played wii with me :-) early this AM then were outside the rest of the morning for almost 2 hours. They played so good out there with color changing cars and just running around. Lilly went outside too and played with play dough and bubbles but then told me it was too cold out. She's been paling around with Kobe today. Those 2 love my kid songs!! I forgot how much I loved them too! All the kids made a bday card for Kendra today too.

Lilly helped me to clean too (hey I'll take what I can get) Good day, Tristan is now watching 101 dalmations while my 2 have quiet time up in their rooms, and Lilly is down for a nap listening to the rainy (haha, she loves that sound machine in my room)

Thursday

Alexa is finally sleeping!!! I put her down around 9 and she fussed on and off and I thought for sure she wasn't going to go to sleep, just when I was going to go get her at 10 she passed out! It's 12:15 and I haven't heard a peep out of her. She ate all her cereal and banana for breakfast and had 1 wet diaper.

The big kids had cereal for breakfast. For lunch Aiden had a pb sandwich with yogurt, grapes, and juice. Lana had mac n cheese, grapes, and pb crackers with juice.

The big kids played wii from 8:30-9:30, then were outside painting, playing with color changing cars, bubble water, and at the swing set. They also road bikes until 11:15. Came in and had lunch and then downstairs to play some more.

It's 12:30 and I'm getting ready to have the big kids rest!

Wed

sorry no pics, I have my hands full today with my 2 older "grouchy" boys and a overly tired Alexa :-) So she ate her cereal with applesauce well for breakfast right after you left around 9. She wasn't very happy this AM unless I was holding her so we tried a nap at 9:45 but that was a no go. I thought she was going to sleep when I gave her a massage to try and calm her. She loved it and was cooing at me, then I read her a book and she looked so sleepy but she was wrestless the entire time and fussed so I got her up around 10:45. She looked so tired so I put her in the high chair while I got the big boys lunch ready and then she was signing for eat. I tried lunch with her around 11:15 but she ate nothing and drank nothing. She seemed content in the highchair but like a zombie. She started signing for sleep again so we are attempting that again although she started
screaming so we shall see. Poor girl needs to pass out for the day!

My big boys are sleeping now, and Kobe is playing. It's a day of trying to get kids to nap so they are happy again!

Tuesday

Good day! The egg hunt at preschool went well! The boys loved the candy scramble of course and got a surprise from the easter bunny in their room.

Lilly painted all morning with Faith. They got along well until around noon when I knew Miss L needed a nap.

Syd at at 9 and 12 and took a good hour and 45 min nap this am. 1 small poop so far today.

Bryce is down at Jocelyn's and Lilly and Landon are up for naps. Tristan and Aiden are playing in the basement for now while Kobe and Lana play around them and Syd is laying on the floor with me cooing up a storm!

Lilly peed on the potty today, but informed me that she doesn't use a potty!

Oh and I cracked out the kidsongs today in hopes of getting her off Barney, even I need a break! Her and Kobe seemed to love it, but she still asked for Barney, however we went all day with out him!
